Squared Hopf algebras and reconstruction theorems

Volodymyr Lyubashenko (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Given an abelian 𝑉-linear rigid monoidal category 𝑉, where 𝑉 is a perfect field, we define squared coalgebras as objects of cocompleted 𝑉 ⨂ 𝑉 (Deligne's tensor product of categories) equipped with the appropriate notion of comultiplication. Based on this, (squared) bialgebras and Hopf algebras are defined without use of braiding. If 𝑉 is the category of 𝑉-vector spaces, squared (co)algebras coincide with conventional ones. If 𝑉 is braided, a braided Hopf algebra can be obtained from a squared...

Statistics and quantum group symmetries

Gaetano Fiore, Peter Schupp (1997)

Banach Center Publications

Using 'twisted' realizations of the symmetric groups, we show that Bose and Fermi statistics are compatible with transformations generated by compact quantum groups of Drinfel'd type.

Symmetric quantum Weyl algebras

Rafael Díaz, Eddy Pariguan (2004)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

We study the symmetric powers of four algebras: q -oscillator algebra, q -Weyl algebra, h -Weyl algebra and U ( 𝔰𝔩 2 ) . We provide explicit formulae as well as combinatorial interpretation for the normal coordinates of products of arbitrary elements in the above algebras.

The bar automorphism in quantum groups and geometry of quiver representations

Philippe Caldero, Markus Reineke (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Two geometric interpretations of the bar automorphism in the positive part of a quantized enveloping algebra are given. The first is in terms of numbers of rational points over finite fields of quiver analogues of orbital varieties; the second is in terms of a duality of constructible functions provided by preprojective varieties of quivers.

The Brauer category and invariant theory

Gustav I. Lehrer, R. B. Zhang (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev’s tangle category, is introduced, a presentation of the category is given, and full tensor functors are constructed from this category to the category of tensor representations of the orthogonal group O ( V ) or the symplectic group Sp ( V ) over any field of characteristic zero. The first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory for these classical groups are generalised to the category theoretic setting. The major outcome is that we obtain presentations...
