Duality for actions of weak Kac algebras and crossed product inclusions of II_1 factors

Abstract

We show that indecomposable weak Kac algebras are free over their Cartan subalgebras and prove a duality theorem for their actions. Using this result, for any biconnected weak Kac algebra we construct a minimal action on the hyperfinite II_1 factor. The corresponding crossed product inclusion of II_1 factors has depth 2 and an integer index. Its first relative commutant is, in general, non-trivial, so we derive some arithmetic properties of weak Kac algebras from considering reduced subfactors.

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 $W_n$.
