Abstract

Easy quantum groups have been studied intensively since the time they were introduced by Banica and Speicher in 2009. They arise as a subclass of ($C^*$-algebraic) compact matrix quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz. Due to some Tannaka-Krein type result, they are completely determined by the combinatorics of categories of (set theoretical) partitions. So far, only orthogonal easy quantum groups have been considered in order to understand quantum subgroups of the free orthogonal quantum group $O_n^+$. We now give a definition of unitary easy quantum groups using colored partitions to tackle the problem of finding quantum subgroups of $U_n^+$. In the free case (i.e. restricting to noncrossing partitions), the corresponding categories of partitions have recently been classified by the authors by purely combinatorial means. There are ten series showing up each indexed by one or two discrete parameters, plus two additional quantum groups. We now present the quantum group picture of it and investigate them in detail. We show how they can be constructed from other known examples using generalizations of Banica's free complexification. For doing so, we introduce new kinds of products between quantum groups. We also study the notion of easy groups.

Brunnian braids and the inclusion from double shuffle Lie algebra to Kashiwara-Vergne Lie algebra

Schneps \cite{Schneps2012,Schneps2025} and Enriquez-Furusho \cite{EF4} proved that the double shuffle Lie algebra $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ embeds into the Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}_2$. We give a Brunnian braid interpretation of a related embedding into the symmetric Kashiwara--Vergne Lie algebra $\mathfrak{krv}_2^{\mathrm{sym}}$. More precisely, the map \[ φ\longmapsto \bigl(φ(-x_0-x_1,x_0),φ(-x_0-x_1,x_1)\bigr) \] defines an injective Lie algebra homomorphism from the subalgebra of $\mathfrak{dmr}_0$ satisfying the condition \[ [x_0,φ(-x_0-x_1,x_0)] +[x_1,φ(-x_0-x_1,x_1)]=0 \] into $\mathfrak{krv}_2^{\mathrm{sym}}$. The proof reformulate the double shuffle and symmetric Kashiwara--Vergne relations through abelianizations of Brunnian Lie algebras associated with the disk and punctured disks. We generalize this inclusion in two directions. First, replacing these abelianizations by higher lower central series quotients yields generalizations of relations and implications among them. Second, we establish explicit identities relating the linear pentagon defect to the stuffle coproduct, the divergence map, and the necklace cobracket.

Classification of Strongly Rational Vertex Operator Algebras with Central and Effective Central Charge One

We classify the strongly rational vertex operator algebras whose central charge and effective central charge are both one. Every such algebra is isomorphic to one of $V_L,V_L^+,V_{A_1}^{A_4},V_{A_1}^{S_4},V_{A_1}^{A_5},$ where $L$ ranges over the positive-definite even lattices of rank one and $A_1=\sqrt2\mathbb{Z}$.

A $q$-Weyl Freeness Principle for Nichols Algebras and Pointed Hopf Algebras of Square-Free Dimension

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra of square-free dimension over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We prove that either $H$ is a group algebra or $\dim H/|\G(H)|=p$, and that in the latter case $H$ belongs to exactly one of two explicit families of rank-one pointed Hopf algebras. We develop a truncated $q$-Weyl freeness principle for finite-dimensional Nichols algebras of quandle type. If $V=\bigoplus_{x\in X}\K e_x$, $X'\subsetneq X$ is a nonempty subquandle, $V'=\bigoplus_{x\in X'}\K e_x$, and $s\in X\setminus X'$, then $\mathcal B(V)\simeq\K[e_s]/(e_s^{m_s})\otimes C_{s,X'}\otimes\mathcal B(V')$ for some graded vector space $C_{s,X'}$, where $m_s$ is the nilpotency order of $e_s$; in particular, $(m_s)_z\,\mathcal H_{\mathcal B(V')}(z)\mid\mathcal H_{\mathcal B(V)}(z)$. In the non-group case, this yields a $p^2$-divisibility obstruction that rules out noncentral support for the infinitesimal braiding. Together with a graded-dual argument, the resulting rank-one reduction forces the diagram of $H$ to have dimension $p$.
