Abstract

In this thesis we study the Durdevic theory of differential calculi on quantum principal bundles within the domain of noncommutative geometry. Throughout the exposition, an algebraic approach based on Hopf algebras is employed. We begin by briefly recalling the foundational concepts of Hopf algebras and comodule algebras. Hopf-Galois extensions are introduced, along with an important correspondence result which relates crossed product algebras and cleft extensions. Differential calculus over algebras is reviewed, with a particular focus on the covariant case. The Durdevic theory is presented in a modern language. We compare this theory to existing literature on the topic. We extend the Durdevic theory and provide explicit realisations of quantum principal bundles and complete differential calculi on the noncommutative algebraic 2-torus, the quantum Hopf fibration and on crossed product algebras, resulting in an original contribution within this thesis.

On Diagrammatic Categorification of Verma Modules I: Braiding

In this paper, we study the extensions of KLRW algebras to tensor products of Verma module representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. Our motivation is to construct a theory of Khovanov homology for knot complements in $S^3$ (and which also categorifies the Gukov-Manolescu two-variable series for knot complements), which will be done in the second part of this work. We construct the categorification of R-matrices for Verma modules as functors given by derived tensor products with diagrammatic bimodules and explicitly compute their projective resolutions. We also prove these braiding functors induce an action of the braid group on the relevant categories. Then, we describe how to incorporate strands in finite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$, thereby establishing functors that serve as the Khovanov homology on a braid complement. In the case of the unknot, this gives knot homologies in $S^1\times D^2$, which we compare to Annular Khovanov Homology through several examples and show they are very closely related, conjecturing they are of the same dimension. We conclude with a proposal for the categorification of the cups and caps of Verma module colored strands, which we build upon in the next paper.

Some finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A

In this paper, we study finite dimensional representations of shifted quantum affine algebras of type A. We give an explicit description of the tensor product of simple evaluation modules of the quantum loop algebra and a one-dimensional representation of the shifted quantum affine algebra under the separation condition. As a consequence, we give the q-characters of some finite dimensional simple modules of the shifted quantum affine algebra.
