Integral forms for Yangians of classical type

Abstract

Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra of classical type. We construct a $\mathbb Z[1/2]$-integral form of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak g)$ generated by divided powers of the positive and negative Drinfeld generators, and establish its triangular decomposition and PBW basis. Under the loop filtration, the associated graded algebra of our integral form is the current algebra part of Garland's integral form. As an application, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$, we identify the small Yangian obtained by reduction modulo $p$ with the restricted Yangian.

Classifying Grothendieck rings of pivotal fusion categories of rank four

We classify the Classifying Grothendieck rings of pivotal fusion categories of rank four over the complex field. There are exactly fifteen, each admitting a unitary categorification. Central induction and Frobenius-Schur indicators give a uniform Frobenius-Perron dimension bound of 3600. The finite classification combines new arithmetic and twist obstructions with an exhaustive census and exact exclusion certificates.

Braid group invariance of quantum tori and applications

We establish that the skew-symmetric bicharacter on the group of $\ell$-weights of a quantum affine algebra is invariant under Chari's braid group action. Furthermore, we define an extension of this bicharacter to the group generated by prefundamental $\ell$-weights and show that this invariance continues to hold under the extended braid group action of Frenkel-Hernandez. As immediate applications, we obtain braid group actions by automorphisms on the quantum tori associated respectively with the category of finite-dimensional representations of the quantum affine algebra and with the category $\mathcal{O}^{\mathfrak{b}}$ of its Borel subalgebra. In addition, we derive explicit formulas for quantum $QQ$-systems in all simply-laced types. Finally, we show that our extended bicharacter yields a quantization matrix compatible with the Hernandez-Leclerc cluster algebra categorified by $\mathcal{O}^{\mathfrak{b}}$ for all finite Dynkin types, extending Bittmann's construction in the simply-laced setting.

Unitary coboundary weak quasi-Hopf algebras in the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Finkelberg theorem

We construct, for every complex simple Lie algebra g and every positive integer level k, a unitary modular tensor category structure on the module category of the affine vertex operator algebra V_{g_k}, equivalent to the quantum group fusion category C(g,q,l), within the Doplicher-Roberts quantum group duality program for the Wess-Zumino-Witten model. The construction reaches positive integer levels that Finkelberg's argument does not cover, namely E_6 and E_7 at k=1 and E_8 at k=2, and it treats simply-laced and non-simply-laced types uniformly, whereas the Kazhdan-Lusztig construction was carried out for the simply-laced case. We establish that a weak quasi-fibre structure on a functor preserving a coboundary symmetry in the sense of Drinfeld extends a symmetric functor under permutation symmetry. Using Wenzl's functor, we construct such a structure compatible with the associativity morphisms, yielding unitary coboundary weak Hopf C*-algebras for all Lie types and positive integer levels. Via a specialized Drinfeld twist and the Wenzl de-quantization curve, this structure is transported onto the Zhu algebra, which becomes a unitary coboundary weak quasi-Hopf C*-algebra with a 3-coboundary associator. Rigidity is obtained from the quantum group side, without the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations or the Verlinde formula. Our methods settle several further problems: Galindo's question on the uniqueness of unitary tensor structures, Kirillov's conjecture on the positivity of a Hermitian form on the Beilinson-Feigin-Mazur category, the quantum group structure on the Zhu algebra sought by Frenkel and Zhu, and the Kazhdan-Lusztig-Finkelberg equivalence for all Lie types and levels without passing through the negative shifted levels, as raised by Huang. We also compare our structure with that of Huang and Lepowsky, and analyze the type A case via Kazhdan-Wenzl theory.
