Abstract

Let B_{(l)} be the perfect crystal for the l-symmetric tensor representation of the quantum affine algebra U'_q(\hat{sl(n)}). For a partition mu = (mu_1,...,mu_m), elements of the tensor product B_{(mu_1)} \otimes ... \otimes B_{(mu_m)} can be regarded as inhomogeneous paths. We establish a bijection between a certain large mu limit of this crystal and the crystal of an (generally reducible) integrable U_q(\hat{sl(n)})-module, which forms a large family depending on the inhomogeneity of mu kept in the limit. For the associated one dimensional sums, relations with the Kostka-Foulkes polynomials are clarified, and new fermionic formulae are presented. By combining their limits with the bijection, we prove or conjecture several formulae for the string functions, branching functions, coset branching functions and spinon character formula of both vertex and RSOS types.

Graded Necklace Lie Bialgebras and Batalin-Vilkovisky Formalism

An involutive Lie bialgebra induces a Batalin-Vilkovisky operator on its exterior algebra. We introduce a graded generalization of the necklace Lie bialgebra, which depends on a choice of a quiver $Q$. We relate the resulting Batalin-Vilkovisky structure to the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure coming from a degree $-1$ symplectic form on a suitably defined representation variety of the quiver $Q$. The morphism intertwining these Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras will be given by a twisted trace, recovering the usual (super)trace and the odd trace.

Freeness and divisibility for right $H$-simple left $H$-comodule algebras over a pointed Hopf algebra $H$

Let $H$ be a pointed Hopf algebra and let $A$ be a right $H$-simple left $H$-comodule algebra. We show that every relative $(H,A)$-Hopf module is free as an $A$-module and that this freeness characterizes the class of pointed Hopf algebras. We give a criterion for the category of relative $(H,A)$-Hopf modules to be semisimple. We also show that $A$ can be embedded into a left $H$-comodule algebra of a specific form when $H$ and $A$ are $\mathbb{N}_0$-graded. As a consequence, we prove that if $H$ is finite-dimensional and $A^{\mathrm{co} H}=\Bbbk$, then $A$ is finite-dimensional and $\dim A$ divides $\dim H$.

$C_2$-Cofiniteness and Rationality of the Icosahedral Orbifold $V_{L_2}^{A_5}$

Let $L_2=\mathbb{Z}α$ be the rank-one root lattice with $(α,α)=2$, and let $A_5$ act on the lattice vertex operator algebra $V_{L_2}$ through an icosahedral subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(V_{L_2})\cong PSL_2(\mathbb{C})$. We prove that the fixed-point vertex operator algebra $V_{L_2}^{A_5}$ is strongly rational.
