Galois and Cleft Monoidal Cowreaths. Applications
Author: D. Bulacu
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470447525
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
We introduce (pre-)Galois and cleft monoidal cowreaths. Generalizing a result of Schneider, to any pre-Galois cowreath we associate a pair of adjoint functors L R and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the adjunction to be an equivalence of categories. Inspired by the work of Doi we also give sufficient conditions for L R to be an equivalence, and consequently conditions under which a fundamental structure theorem for entwined modules over monoidal cowreaths holds. We show that a cowreath is cleft if and only if it is Galois and has the normal basis property; this generalizes a result concerning Hopf cleft extensions due to Doi and Takeuchi. Furthermore, we show that the cleft cowreaths are in a one to one correspondence with what we call cleft wreaths. The latter are wreaths in the sense of Lack and Street, equipped with two additional morphisms satisfying some compatibility relations. Note that, in general, the algebras defined by cleft wreaths cannot be identified to (generalized) crossed product algebras, as they were defined by Doi and Takeuchi, and Blattner, Cohen and Montgomery. This becomes more transparent when we apply our theory to cowreaths defined by actions and coactions of a quasi-Hopf algebra, monoidal entwining structures and ν-Doi-Hopf structures, respectively. In particular, we obtain that some constructions of Brzezi´nski and Schauenburg produce examples of cleft wreaths, and therefore of cleft cowreaths, too.

Quantum Lie Theory
Author: Vladislav Kharchenko
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319227041
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This is an introduction to the mathematics behind the phrase “quantum Lie algebra”. The numerous attempts over the last 15-20 years to define a quantum Lie algebra as an elegant algebraic object with a binary “quantum” Lie bracket have not been widely accepted. In this book, an alternative approach is developed that includes multivariable operations. Among the problems discussed are the following: a PBW-type theorem; quantum deformations of Kac--Moody algebras; generic and symmetric quantum Lie operations; the Nichols algebras; the Gurevich--Manin Lie algebras; and Shestakov--Umirbaev operations for the Lie theory of nonassociative products. Opening with an introduction for beginners and continuing as a textbook for graduate students in physics and mathematics, the book can also be used as a reference by more advanced readers. With the exception of the introductory chapter, the content of this monograph has not previously appeared in book form.

Handbook of Algebra
Author: M. Hazewinkel
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080462499
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 543
Book Description
Algebra, as we know it today, consists of many different ideas, concepts and results. A reasonable estimate of the number of these different items would be somewhere between 50,000 and 200,000. Many of these have been named and many more could (and perhaps should) have a name or a convenient designation. Even the nonspecialist is likely to encounter most of these, either somewhere in the literature, disguised as a definition or a theorem or to hear about them and feel the need for more information. If this happens, one should be able to find enough information in this Handbook to judge if it is worthwhile to pursue the quest. In addition to the primary information given in the Handbook, there are references to relevant articles, books or lecture notes to help the reader. An excellent index has been included which is extensive and not limited to definitions, theorems etc. The Handbook of Algebra will publish articles as they are received and thus the reader will find in this third volume articles from twelve different sections. The advantages of this scheme are two-fold: accepted articles will be published quickly and the outline of the Handbook can be allowed to evolve as the various volumes are published. A particularly important function of the Handbook is to provide professional mathematicians working in an area other than their own with sufficient information on the topic in question if and when it is needed.- Thorough and practical source for information- Provides in-depth coverage of new topics in algebra- Includes references to relevant articles, books and lecture notes

ISBN: 9780824755669
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
This volume publishes key proceedings from the recent International Conference on Hopf Algebras held at DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois. With contributions from leading researchers in the field, this collection deals with current topics ranging from categories of infinitesimal Hopf modules and bimodules to the construction of a Hopf algebraic Morita invariant. It uses the newly introduced theory of bi-Frobenius algebras to investigate a notion of group-like algebras and summarizes results on the classification of Hopf algebras of dimension pq. It also explores pre-Lie, dendriform, and Nichols algebras and discusses support cones for infinitesimal group schemes.

Coxeter Bialgebras
Author: Marcelo Aguiar
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 100924373X
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 897
Book Description
The goal of this monograph is to develop Hopf theory in the setting of a real reflection arrangement. The central notion is that of a Coxeter bialgebra which generalizes the classical notion of a connected graded Hopf algebra. The authors also introduce the more structured notion of a Coxeter bimonoid and connect the two notions via a family of functors called Fock functors. These generalize similar functors connecting Hopf monoids in the category of Joyal species and connected graded Hopf algebras. This monograph opens a new chapter in Coxeter theory as well as in Hopf theory, connecting the two. It also relates fruitfully to many other areas of mathematics such as discrete geometry, semigroup theory, associative algebras, algebraic Lie theory, operads, and category theory. It is carefully written, with effective use of tables, diagrams, pictures, and summaries. It will be of interest to students and researchers alike.

Hopf Algebras and Generalizations
Author: Louis H. Kauffman
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 0821838202
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Hopf algebras have proved to be very interesting structures with deep connections to various areas of mathematics, particularly through quantum groups. Indeed, the study of Hopf algebras, their representations, their generalizations, and the categories related to all these objects has an interdisciplinary nature. It finds methods, relationships, motivations and applications throughout algebra, category theory, topology, geometry, quantum field theory, quantum gravity, and also combinatorics, logic, and theoretical computer science. This volume portrays the vitality of contemporary research in Hopf algebras. Altogether, the articles in the volume explore essential aspects of Hopf algebras and some of their best-known generalizations by means of a variety of approaches and perspectives. They make use of quite different techniques that are already consolidated in the area of quantum algebra. This volume demonstrates the diversity and richness of its subject. Most of its papers introduce the reader to their respective contexts and structures through very expository preliminary sections.

Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics
Author: Vladimir Dobrev
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 4431542701
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
Traditionally, Lie Theory is a tool to build mathematical models for physical systems. Recently, the trend is towards geometrisation of the mathematical description of physical systems and objects. A geometric approach to a system yields in general some notion of symmetry which is very helpful in understanding its structure. Geometrisation and symmetries are meant in their broadest sense, i.e., classical geometry, differential geometry, groups and quantum groups, infinite-dimensional (super-)algebras, and their representations. Furthermore, we include the necessary tools from functional analysis and number theory. This is a large interdisciplinary and interrelated field. Samples of these new trends are presented in this volume, based on contributions from the Workshop “Lie Theory and Its Applications in Physics” held near Varna, Bulgaria, in June 2011. This book is suitable for an extensive audience of mathematicians, mathematical physicists, theoretical physicists, and researchers in the field of Lie Theory.
