Quantum symmetry of $3$-transitive graphs

Abstract

We study the quantum automorphism group of $3$-transitive graphs in this article. Those are highly symmetric graphs that were classified by Cameron and Macpherson in 1985, and we compute the quantum automorphism group of all such graphs, excluding the orthogonal graphs $\mathrm{O}^-(6,q)$ for $q>3$. We show that there is no quantum symmetry for the McLaughlin graph and the orthogonal graphs $\mathrm{O}^-(6,q)$ with $q = 2, 3$, while that the quantum automorphism group of the affine polar graphs $\mathrm{VO}^{+}(2k,2)$ and $\mathrm{VO}^{-}(2k,2)$ are monoidally equivalent to $\mathrm{PO}(n)$ and $\mathrm{PSp}(n)$, respectively. We use planar algebras to obtain our results, where the $3$-transitivity of the graphs gives bounds on the dimensions of the $2$-- and $3$-box spaces of the associated planar algebras.

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.

BiHom-L-R-smash biproduct and BiHom-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long category

In this article, we first introduce the notion of BiHom-L-R-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-smash biproduct over a BiHom-Hopf algebra, denoted by $D\natural H$, where $m,n,p,q,s,t,u,v\in \mathbb{Z}$, and give the sufficient condition for $D\natural H$ to be a BiHom-bialgebra. Furthermore, we describe the concept of BiHom-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long bimodule via BiHom-L-R-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-smash biproduct bialgebra, and prove that the category $\mathcal{LR}(H)(m,n,p,q)$ of BiHom-$\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd-Long bimodule is a strict braided monoidal category. Finally, for a finite-dimensional BiHom-Hopf algebra H, \(\mathcal{LR}(H)\binom{m,n,p,q}{s,t,u,v}\) is isomorphic to the BiHom-$\binom{s,t}{p,q}$-Yetter-Drinfel'd category \({}_{H\otimes H^*}^{H\otimes H^*}\mathcal{YD}\binom{s,t}{p,q}\) as braided monoidal categories.

On finite dimensionality of homology of subalgebras of vector fields

We show that finite tensor products of modules of tensor fields are Noetherian modules over any graded Lie subalgebra of finite codimension in the Lie algebra of polynomial vector fields on $\mathbb{R}^n$. As a corollary, we prove the conjecture of I.\,M. Gelfand, announced at the ICM in Nice in 1970, on the finite-dimensionality of the continuous cohomology of graded Lie subalgebras of finite codimension in the Lie algebra of formal vector fields $W_n$.
