Abstract

We define new deformations of group algebras of Coxeter groups W and of subgroups of even elements in them, by deforming the braid relations. We show that these deformations are algebraically flat iff they are formally flat, and that this happens iff the group W has no finite parabolic subgroups of rank 3. The proof uses the theory of constructible sheaves on cell complexes attached to W. We explain the connection of our deformations with the Hecke algebras of orbifolds defined by the first author in math.QA/0406499 and with generalized double affine Hecke algebras defined by the authors and A. Oblomkov in math.QA/0406480. The paper is dedicated to the memory of Walter Feit.

Reverse Module Categories of Vertex Operator Algebras

We study the realization of the reverse braided category of the module category of a rational vertex operator algebra V. Using holomorphic extensions and commutant constructions, we prove that this realization property is preserved under suitable cosets, tensor products, extensions, and finite-group orbifolds. As applications, we establish the property for unitary Virasoro minimal models, affine vertex operator algebras of types ABCDE at positive integral levels, the corresponding principal W-algebras of type ADE, and related parafermion vertex operator algebras.

Semisimple module categories with fusion rules of the compact flag manifold type

We classify semisimple left module categories over the representation category of a type A quantum group whose fusion rules arise from Levi subalgebras. The classification is connected to equivariant Poisson structures on compact flag manifolds in the operator-algebraic setting, and on semisimple coadjoint orbits in the algebraic setting. We also provide an explicit construction based on the BGG categories of deformed quantum enveloping algebras, whose unitarizability corresponds to being of quotient type. Finally, we present a brief discussion of the non-quantum group case

Two Non--Commutative U(1)-Gauge Laplacians in the Quantum Hyperboloid

In this paper, we will characterize the spectrum of two $U(1)$--gauge Laplacians, which do not commute with each other, on the upper sheet of a two--sheet quantum hyperboloid equipped with a concrete differential calculus; while we provide a thorough and comprehensive study of the geometric structures on the related quantum spaces.
