Abstract

Given a Hopf algebra H and an algebra A that is an H-module algebra we consider the category of left H-modules and A-bimodules, where morphisms are just right A-linear maps (not necessarily H-equivariant). Given a twist F of H we then quantize (deform) H to H^F, A to A_\star and correspondingly the category of left H-modules and A-bimodules to the category of left H^F-modules and A_\star-bimodules. If we consider a quasitriangular Hopf algebra H, a quasi-commutative algebra A and quasi-commutative A-bimodules, we can further construct and study tensor products over A of modules and of morphisms, and their twist quantization. This study leads to the definition of arbitrary (i.e., not necessarily H-equivariant) connections on quasi-commutative A-bimodules, to extend these connections to tensor product modules and to quantize them to A_\star-bimodule connections. Their curvatures and those on tensor product modules are also determined.

Birational Equivalences for Kac--Moody Borel Enveloping Algebras

A Coxeter ordering of the simple roots of a finite-rank Kac--Moody algebra determines a finite family of commuting real-root vectors. We prove that $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)$ is birationally equivalent to $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n$, where $Z$ is the residual Coxeter centralizer, by identifying the Coxeter localization $U^{\geq0}(\mathfrak g)[\mathbf X^{-1}]$ with $Z\otimes\mathbb A_n[\mathbf x^{-1}]$. For symmetrizable Cartan matrices the residual algebra is generated by finite Coxeter windows and is finitely presented. For the generic quantum Borel with torus dual to the root lattice, we prove the analogous birational equivalence.

A diagrammatic presentation for every pivotal pointed fusion category

We provide a generators and relations presentation of pivotal pointed fusion categories, $Vec(G,ω,π)$. Unlike the well-known skeletal model, our presentation is strict and allows multiple isomorphic objects. Our main tool is skein theory, which allows us to apply topological tools to understand the relations of morphisms in the category.

The Kazhdan-Lusztig category of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at irrational levels

We prove the Kazhdan-Lusztig correspondence for the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at irrational levels, that is, we show the category $\mathrm{KL}_k^{\rm ev}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})$ of finite-length even ordinary modules for the affine vertex operator superalgebra of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at level $k \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \mathbb{Q}$ is braided tensor equivalent to the category of finite-dimensional even weight modules for the quantum group of $\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n}$ at parameter $q = e^{πi/(2k+2n+1)}$. We also prove that ${\rm KL}_k^{\rm ev}(\mathfrak{osp}_{1|2n})$ is braided tensor equivalent to the category ${\rm KL}_\ell^{\rm ns}(\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1})$ of finite-length ordinary modules with non-spinorial top level for the affine vertex operator algebra of $\mathfrak{so}_{2n+1}$ at level $\ell$ such that $ \frac{1}{\ell+ 2n-1} = \frac{1}{2k+2n+1} + 1 \ \ ({\rm mod}\ 2\mathbb Z).$ Consequently, by gluing vertex operator (super)algebras via tensor categories, we construct a few new families of simple conformal vertex (super)algebras, including the mixed kernel VOAs that were the missing ingredient for proving certain Feigin-Frenkel type dualities in previous work of the first-named author with Linshaw, Nakatsuka, and Sato.
