Renormalization and Computation II: Time Cut-off and the Halting Problem

Abstract

This is the second installment to the project initiated in [Ma3]. In the first Part, I argued that both philosophy and technique of the perturbative renormalization in quantum field theory could be meaningfully transplanted to the theory of computation, and sketched several contexts supporting this view. In this second part, I address some of the issues raised in [Ma3] and provide their development in three contexts: a categorification of the algorithmic computations; time cut--off and Anytime Algorithms; and finally, a Hopf algebra renormalization of the Halting Problem.

Categorification of quasi-split iquantum groups

We introduce a new family of graded 2-categories generalizing the 2-quantum groups introduced by Khovanov, Lauda and Rouquier. We use them to categorify quasi-split iquantum groups in all symmetric types.

Coset representatives corresponding to Yetter-Drinfeld modules of modular group and continued fraction

We give complete conjugacy classes of modular group SL(2,Z). Particularly, the conjugacy classes of hyperbolic elements are decided by the proper equivalence classes of indefinite forms, and we give an example. Finally, we describe the coset representatives of centralizer of S, ST, T and hyperbolic elements of SL(2,Z) by regular continued fraction. In conclusion, most Nichols algebras over modular group are infinite-dimensional except Proposition 4.10.

Factorization envelopes and enveloping vertex algebras

We develop a bornological version of Costello and Gwilliam's procedure for extracting vertex algebras from suitable prefactorization algebras on the complex plane. Using bornological complex analysis, we remove the discreteness condition imposed in their extraction theorem. We then construct, from a suitable Lie conformal algebra, a prefactorization algebra to which this extraction procedure applies, and prove that the resulting vertex algebra is isomorphic to the enveloping vertex algebra of the original Lie conformal algebra. Our construction uses a factorization envelope and extends the construction of Costello--Gwilliam in the affine vertex algebra case and that of Williams in the Virasoro vertex algebra case. Moreover, a super analogue yields new prefactorization algebras corresponding to vertex superalgebras, such as the Neveu--Schwarz vertex superalgebra, the $N=2$ vertex superalgebra, and the $N=4$ vertex superalgebra.
