Generalizing the quantum sine-Gordon and sausage models, we construct exact S-matrices for higher spin representations with quantum U_q(su(2)) symmetry, which satisfy unitarity, crossing-symmetry, and the Yang-Baxter equations with…

We show how to give the expression for periods, Higgs field and its dual of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory around the conformal point. This is achieved by evaluating the integral representation in the weak coupling region, and by…

We prove that level $5$ Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev $\mathrm{SO}(3)$ quantum representations, also known as the Fibonacci representations, of mapping class groups are locally rigid. More generally, for any prime level $\ell$, we prove that…

A spontaneously broken SU(2) theory is the simplest generalization of the Abelian Higgs model, containing three equally massive vector bosons and a single Higgs scalar. A strictly diagrammatic proof is presented of the tree-level unitarity…

We show an integrality of the quantum SU(2)-invariant associated with a non-trivial first cohomology class modulo two.

The SL(2,Z) representation $\pi$ on the center of the restricted quantum group U_{q}sl(2) at the primitive 2p-th root of unity is shown to be equivalent to the SL(2,Z) representation on the extended characters of the logarithmic (1,p)…

There are many interesting parallels between systems of interacting non-Abelian anyons and quantum magnetism, occuring in ordinary SU(2) quantum magnets. Here we consider theories of so-called su(2)_k anyons, well-known deformations of…

In this paper we provide a general condition for the reducibility of the Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum representations of the mapping class groups. Namely, for any modular tensor category with a special symmetric Frobenius algebra with a…

The spin--network quantum simulator model, which essentially encodes the (quantum deformed) SU(2) Racah--Wigner tensor algebra, is particularly suitable to address problems arising in low dimensional topology and group theory. In this…

We study the global symmetries of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-orbifold of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory and its marginal deformations. The process of orbifolding to obtain an N=2 theory would appear to break the $\mathrm{SU}(4)$ R-symmetry down to…

For a finite group G, we denote by $\mu(G)$, and c(G), the minimal degree of faithful permutation representation of G, and the minimal degree of faithful representation of G by quasi-permutation matrices over the complex field C,…

One of spectacular results in mathematical physics is the expression of Racah matrices for symmetric representations of the quantum group $SU_q(2)$ through the Askey-Wilson polynomials, associated with the $q$-hypergeometric functions…

We study 6d N=(2,0) theory of type SU(N) compactified on Riemann surfaces with finite area, including spheres with fewer than three punctures. The Higgs branch, whose metric is inversely proportional to the total area of the Riemann…

We investigate dimensional constraints arising from representation theory when abstract graph edges possess internal degrees of freedom but lack geometric properties. We prove that such internal degrees of freedom can only encode…

We study the path integral of a twisted $N=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory coupled with hypermultiplet having the bare mass. We explicitly compute the topological correlation functions for the $SU(2)$ theory on a compact oriented simply…

We show that $\frak{su}(2)$ Lie algebras of coordinate operators related to quantum spaces with $\frak{su}(2)$ noncommutativity can be conveniently represented by $SO(3)$-covariant poly-differential involutive representations. We show that…

Let K be a nontrivial knot in the 3-sphere with the exterior E(K), and u in G(K), the fundamental group of E(K), a slope element represented by an essential simple closed curve on the boundary of E(K). Since the normal closure of u in G(K)…

In this article, we continue the study of the action of subgroups of the mapping class group on the $SU(2)$-character variety. We prove the existence of a mapping class subgroup on the surface of genus $2$, containing infinitely many…

If $G$ is a compact Lie group, $T$ a maximal torus in $G$ (with Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{t}$ respectively) and $W$ the corresponding Weyl group, then the Berry-Robbins problem for $G$, as formulated by Sir Michael Atiyah…

We prove a number of structural and representation-theoretic results on linearly reductive quantum groups, i.e. objects dual to that of cosemisimple Hopf algebras: (a) a closed normal quantum subgroup is automatically linearly reductive if…
