Kikkawa loops and homogeneous loops

Michihiko Kikkawa (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In H. Kiechle's publication ``Theory of K-loops'' [3], the name Kikkawa loops is given to symmetric loops introduced by the author in 1973. This concept started from an analogical imagination of sum of vectors in Euclidean space brought up on a sphere. In 1975, this concept was extended by him to the more general concept of homogeneous loops, and it led us to a non-associative generalization of the theory of Lie groups. In this article, the backstage of finding these concepts will be disclosed from...

Kneser and Hereditarily Kneser Subgroups of a Profinite Group

Basarab, Şerban (2004)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 20E18, 12G05, 12F10, 12F99.Given a profinite group Γ acting continuously on a discrete quasi-cyclic group A, certain classes of closed subgroups of Γ (radical, hereditarily radical, Kneser, almost Kneser, and hereditarily Kneser) having natural field theoretic interpretations are defined and investigated. One proves that the hereditarily Kneser subgroups of Γ form a closed subspace of the irreducible spectral space of all closed subgroups of Γ, and a hereditarily...

Knot theory with the Lorentz group

João Faria Martins (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We analyse perturbative expansions of the invariants defined from unitary representations of the Quantum Lorentz Group in two different ways, namely using the Kontsevich Integral and weight systems, and the R-matrix in the Quantum Lorentz Group defined by Buffenoir and Roche. The two formulations are proved to be equivalent; and they both yield ℂ[[h]]h-valued knot invariants related with the Melvin-Morton expansion of the Coloured Jones Polynomial.
