Abstract

For the last fifteen years quantum superalgebras have been used to model supersymmetric quantum systems. A class of quasi-triangular Hopf superalgebras, they each contain a universal $R$-matrix, which automatically satisfies the Yang--Baxter equation. Applying the vector representation to the left-hand side of a universal $R$-matrix gives a Lax operator. These are of significant interest in mathematical physics as they provide solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation in an arbitrary representation, which give rise to integrable models. In this thesis a Lax operator is constructed for the quantised orthosymplectic superalgebra $U_q[osp(m|n)]$ for all $m > 2, n \geq 2$ where $n$ is even. This can then be used to find a solution to the Yang--Baxter equation in an arbitrary representation of $U_q[osp(m|n)]$, with the example of the vector representation given in detail. In studying the integrable models arising from solutions to the Yang--Baxter equation, it is desirable to understand the representation theory of the superalgebra. Finding the Casimir invariants of the system and exploring their behaviour helps in this understanding. In this thesis the Lax operator is used to construct an infinite family of Casimir invariants of $U_q[osp(m|n)]$ and to calculate their eigenvalues in an arbitrary irreducible representation.

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 $W_n$.
