This paper is meant to be an informal introduction to Quantum Groups, starting from its origins and motivations until the recent developments. We call in particular the attention on the newly descovered relationship among quantum groups,…

We show that loop groups and the universal cover of $\mathrm{Diff}_+(S^1)$ can be expressed as colimits of groups of loops/diffeomorphisms supported in subintervals of $S^1$. Analogous results hold for based loop groups and for the based…

Integral calculus on the space of gauge equivalent connections is developed. Loops, knots, links and graphs feature prominently in this description. The framework is well--suited for quantization of diffeomorphism invariant theories of…

The elements of the wide class of quantum universal enveloping algebras are prooved to be Hopf algebras $H$ with spectrum $Q(H)$ in the category of groups. Such quantum algebras are quantum groups for simply connected solvable Lie groups…

A connection between the Galois-theoretic approach to semi-abelian homology and the homological closure operators is established. In particular, a generalised Hopf formula for homology is obtained, allowing the choice of a new kind of…

A new topology is proposed on the space of holonomy equivalence classes of loops, induced by the topology of the space $\Sigma$ in which the loops are embedded. The possible role for the new topology in the context of the work by Ashtekar…

The loop representation plays an important role in canonical quantum gravity because loop variables allow a natural treatment of the constraints. In these lectures we give an elementary introduction to (i) the relevant history of loops in…

Just as point objects are parallel transported along curves, giving holonomies, string-like objects are parallel transported along surfaces, giving surface holonomies. Composition of these surfaces correspond to products in a category…

The motivation for this paper stems \cite{CR} from the need to construct explicit isomorphisms of (possibly nontrivial) principal $G$-bundles on the space of loops or, more generally, of paths in some manifold $M$, over which I consider a…

This paper systematically develops the concept of entanglement threads that characterize the entanglement structure of holographic duality. Behind this framework lies a simple philosophy: holographic quantum entanglement can be visualized…

A coregular space is a representation of an algebraic group for which the ring of polynomial invariants is free. In this paper, we show that the orbits of many coregular irreducible representations where the number of invariants is at least…

We examine an equivalence relation between free homotopy classes of closed curves on the pair of pants known as k-equivalence, a generalization of a concept previously defined by Leininger. We prove that two classes of closed curves on the…

This paper gives an introduction to the homotopy theory of quasi-categories. Weak equivalences between quasi-categories are characterized as maps which induce equivalences on a naturally defined system of groupoids. These groupoids…

In this paper, we study the structure of homogeneous subgroups of the homeomorphism group of the sphere, which are defined as closed groups of homeomorphisms of the sphere that contain the rotation group. We prove two structure theorems…

A braided generalization of the concept of Hopf algebra (quantum group) is presented. The generalization overcomes an inherent geometrical inhomogeneity of quantum groups, in the sense of allowing completely pointless objects. All…

We classify all special homogeneous curves. A special homogeneous curve $\mathcal{H}$ consists of connected components of the hyperbolic points in the level set $\{h=1\}$ of a homogeneous polynomial $h$ in two real variables of degree at…

The paper glosses different forms of an introducing of higher order tangent-like functors, especially functors derived from higher order nonholonomic tangent functors. A special attention is devoted to higher order osculating bundles: their…

We review the application of the loop representation to gauge theories and general relativity. The emphasis lies on exhibiting the loop calculus techniques, and their application to the canonical quantization. We discuss the role that knot…

We study the behaviors of quantum groups under an edge contraction. We show that there exists an explicit embedding induced by an edge contraction operation. We further conjecture that this explicit embedding is a section of an explicit…

One of the most important questions in quantum information theory is the so-called separability problem. It involves characterizing the set of separable (or, equivalently entangled) states among mixed states of a multipartite quantum…
