Abstract

The purpose of the paper is twofold: First, known results of the noncommutative spin geometry of the standard Podles sphere are extended by discussing Poincare duality and orientability. In the discussion of orientability, Hochschild homology is replaced by a twisted version which avoids the dimension drop. The twisted Hochschild cycle representing an orientation is related to the volume form of the distinguished covariant differential calculus. Integration over the volume form defines a twisted cyclic 2-cocycle which computes the q-winding numbers of quantum line bundles. Second, a "twisted" Chern character from equivariant K0-theory to even twisted cyclic homology is introduced which gives rise to a Chern-Connes pairing between equivariant K0-theory and twisted cyclic cohomology. The Chern-Connes pairing between the equivariant K0-group of the standard Podles sphere and the generators of twisted cyclic cohomology relative to the modular automorphism and its inverse are computed. This includes the pairings with the twisted cyclic 2-cocycle associated to the volume form, and the one corresponding to the "no-dimension drop" case. From explicit index computations, it follows that the pairings with these cocycles give the q-indices of the known equivariant 0-summable Dirac operator on the standard Podles sphere.

Non-Equivalence of Smooth and Nodal Conformal Block Functors in Logarithmic CFT

Let $\mathbb V$ be an $\mathbb N$-graded, $C_2$-cofinite vertex operator algebra (VOA) admitting a non-lowest generated module in $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb V)$ (e.g., the triplet algebras $\mathcal{W}_p$ for $p\in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 2}$ or the even symplectic fermion VOAs $SF_d^+$ for $d\in \mathbb{Z}_+$). We prove that, unlike in the rational case, for $N\geq 4$ there is no vector bundle on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,N}$ whose fibers are the spaces of conformal blocks associated to certain $\mathbb{V}$-modules, since the dimensions of these conformal block spaces differ between smooth and nodal curves. Consequently, the sheaf of coinvariants associated to these $\mathbb V$-modules on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,N}$ is not locally free for $N\geq 4$. It also follows that, unlike in the rational case, the mode transition algebra $\mathfrak A$ introduced by Damiolini-Gibney-Krashen is not isomorphic to the end $\mathbb E=\int_{\mathbb X\in \mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb X)}\mathbb X\otimes \mathbb{X}'$ as an object of $\mathrm{Mod}(\mathbb{V}^{\otimes 2})$.

Evaluation-type deformed modules over the quantum affine vertex algebras of type $A$

Let $\mathcal{V}^c(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ be Etingof-Kazhdan's quantum affine vertex algebra associated with the trigonometric $R$-matrix. We establish a connection between suitably generalized deformed $ϕ$-coordinated $\mathcal{V}^c(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$-modules and the representations of quantized enveloping algebra $U_h(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ and reflection equation algebra $\mathcal{O}_h(Mat_N)$. As an application, we demonstrate how the elements of the center of $\mathcal{V}^c(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ at the critical level $c=-N$ give rise to the $q$-analogues of quantum immanants for $U_h(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$, which were recently found by Jing, Liu and Molev. Finally, we derive the analogues of these results for the quantum affine vertex algebra associated with the normalized Yang $R$-matrix.

Exact sequences of representation categories of weak Hopf algebras

We study exact sequences of representation categories of weak Hopf algebras over an arbitrary field. Given a sequence $A\overset{k}{\to} B\oversetπ{\to} H$, where $A$ and $B$ are weak Hopf algebras and $H$ is a Hopf algebra, we develop verifiable algebraic conditions on $k$ and $π$ under which there is an exact sequence $\mathrm{Rep}(H)\to\mathrm{Rep}(B)\to\mathrm{Rep}(A)$ of tensor categories in the sense of Bruguières and Natale (2011). Along the way, we develop a generalization of the restriction of scalars functor for maps $π:B\to H$ between associative algebras satisfying a weakened multiplicativity constraint depending on a relatively separable subalgebra $B_r\subseteq B$, as well as a theory of kernels and cokernels for weak Hopf algebras. We, in particular, find that the cokernel of a weak Hopf algebra homomorphism $k:A\to B$ always exists, is a Hopf algebra, and the cokernel map is surjective when $A$ is connected. We conclude by studying examples of such exact sequences built from groupoids, formal ribbon extensions of quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras, and cocycled crossed products of a Hopf algebra acting weakly on a weak Hopf algebra.
