Categorifications of the colored Jones polynomial

Abstract

The colored Jones polynomial of links has two natural normalizations: one in which the n-colored unknot evaluates to [n+1], the quantum dimension of the (n+1)-dimensional irreducible representation of quantum sl(2), and the other in which it evaluates to 1. For each normalization we construct a bigraded cohomology theory of links with the colored Jones polynomial as the Euler characteristic.

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.
