Abstract

Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang-Baxter equation satisfied by 6j-symbols. We investigate one of the simplest examples, generalizing the standard SU(2) quantum group. The matrix elements for its corepresentations are identified with Askey-Wilson polynomials, and the Haar measure with the Askey-Wilson measure. The discrete orthogonality of the matrix elements yield the orthogonality of q-Racah polynomials (or quantum 6j-symbols). The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients for representations and corepresentations are also identified with q-Racah polynomials. This results in new algebraic proofs of the Biedenharn-Elliott identity satisfied by quantum 6j-symbols.

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.

The Ring of Differential Operators on a Nodal Curve is not a Bialgebroid

In a previous article, we showed that local projectivity is a sufficient condition for the existence of a bialgebroid structure on the ring of differential operators on an affine variety. In this note, we show using elementary methods that the ring of differential operators on a nodal curve is neither locally projective nor does it admit a bialgebroid structure.

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.
