Let $(H, \sigma)$ be a coquasitriangular Hopf algebra, not necessarily finite dimensional. Following methods of Doi and Takeuchi, which parallel the constructions of Radford in the case of finite dimensional quasitriangular Hopf algebras,…

We solve the simultaneous conjugacy problem in Artin's braid groups and, more generally, in Garside groups, by means of a complete, effectively computable, finite invariant. This invariant generalizes the one-dimensional notion of super…

For each braided category $\mathcal{C}$ we show that, under mild hypotheses, there is an associated category of "half braided algebras" and their bimodules internal to $\mathcal{C}$ which is not only monoidal but even braided and balanced.…

We consider the problem of private distributed multi-party multiplication. It is well-established that Shamir secret-sharing coding strategies can enable perfect information-theoretic privacy in distributed computation via the celebrated…

Unitary braiding operators can be used as robust entangling quantum gates. We introduce a solution-generating technique to solve the $(d,m,l)$-generalized Yang-Baxter equation, for $m/2\leq l \leq m$, which allows to systematically…

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra with abelian coradical. Let $A\supseteq B$ be left (or right) coideal subalgebras of $H$ that contain the coradical of $H$. We show that $A$ has a PBW basis over $B$, provided that $H$ satisfies certain…

Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we construct braided…

We elaborate on the notion of a filtration of an operad defined in terms of a lattice-valued operad serving as an indexing object. That covers ordinary integer-indexed filtrations of associative algebras and operads as a special case, yet…

We consider several computational problems related to conjugacy between subshifts of finite type, restricted to $k$-block codes: verifying a proposed $k$-block conjugacy, deciding if two shifts admit a $k$-block conjugacy, and reducing the…

Braided algebras are associative algebras endowed with a Yang-Baxter operator that satisfies certain compatibility conditions involving the multiplication. Along with Hochschild cohomology of algebras, there is also a notion of Yang-Baxter…

Within the framework of braided or quasisymmetric monoidal categories braided Q-supersymmetry is investigated, where Q is a certain functorial isomorphism in a braided symmetric monoidal category. For an ordinary (co-)quasitriangular Hopf…

A one-sided shift of finite type $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ determines on the one hand a Cuntz-Krieger algebra $\mathcal{O}_A$ with a distinguished abelian subalgebra $\mathcal{D}_A$ and a certain completely positive map $\tau_A$ on $\mathcal{O}_A$.…

We show that reducible braids which are, in a Garside-theoretical sense, as simple as possible within their conjugacy class, are also as simple as possible in a geometric sense. More precisely, if a braid belongs to a certain subset of its…

In a XOR-based alternating block cipher the plaintext is masked by a sequence of layers each performing distinct actions: a highly nonlinear permutation, a linear transformation, and the bitwise key addition. When assessing resistance…

Machine learning and pattern recognition techniques have been successfully applied to algorithmic problems in free groups. In this paper, we seek to extend these techniques to finitely presented non-free groups, with a particular emphasis…

Several key agreement protocols are based on the following "Generalized Conjugacy Search Problem": Find, given elements b_1,...,b_n and xb_1x^{-1},...,xb_nx^{-1} in a nonabelian group G, the conjugator x. In the case of subgroups of the…

We formalize the simulation paradigm of cryptography in terms of category theory and show that protocols secure against abstract attacks form a symmetric monoidal category, thus giving an abstract model of composable security definitions in…

The discrete logarithm is a problem that surfaces frequently in the field of cryptography as a result of using the transformation g^a mod n. This paper focuses on a prime modulus, p, for which it is shown that the basic structure of the…

The braids of $B\_\infty$ can be equipped with a selfdistributive operation $\mathbin{\triangleright}$ enjoying a number of deep properties. This text is a survey of known properties and open questions involving this structure, its…

We demonstrate the semiclassical nature of symmetry twist defects that differ from quantum deconfined anyons in a true topological phase by examining non-abelian crystalline defects in an abelian lattice model. An underlying non-dynamical…
