Twisted Yangians of quasi-split type DI and Drinfeld type current relations

Abstract

We study the twisted Yangian associated with the quasi-split symmetric pair $(\mathfrak{o}_{2n}, \mathfrak{o}_{n-1}\oplus \mathfrak{o}_{n+1})$ of type DI. Working in the transposed $R$-matrix presentation of arXiv:2607.14692, we show that the generating matrix $S(u)$ admits no Gaussian decomposition. We decompose instead the matrix $\widehat{S}(u) = G\,S(u)$, where $G$ is the constant term of $S(u)$. A chain of quasi-determinantal embeddings lowers the rank within this family of pairs and ends at $(\mathfrak{o}_4,\mathfrak{o}_3)$. Together with a direct study of a degenerate block of type AI, this gives a presentation of the special twisted Yangian $SY^{\mathrm{tw}}(\mathfrak{o}_{2n},\mathfrak{o}_{n-1}\oplus \mathfrak{o}_{n+1})$ by Drinfeld type current relations. The two fork nodes of the Dynkin diagram carry Drinfeld's presentation of $Y(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$. All other relations are those of split type DI, except that the Serre relation with a doubled fork node has zero right hand side. For $n\ge3$ we obtain an explicit isomorphism between the $R$-matrix presentation of Guay and Regelskis and the Drinfeld presentation of Lu and Zhang. The Drinfeld generators are expressed through the Gaussian series of $\widehat{S}(u)$. With quasi-split type AIII (Lu and Zhang), this completes the explicit comparison for the classical quasi-split types with a nontrivial diagram involution.

Revisiting the Algebraic and Analytic Descriptions of Quantum Mechanics

The Wintner-Wielandt theorem exposes a fundamental incompatibility between the canonical commutation relation (CCR) and the Hilbert-space formulation of quantum mechanics. While the conventional approach preserves the CCR by extending the Hilbert-space framework to a rigged Hilbert space, this work develops the complementary alternative. Retaining the Hilbert space, the unavoidable trace obstruction requires a boundary modification of the CCR, consistently realizable only in a space of finite, albeit arbitrarily large, dimension. In this setting, the eigenvalue problems of position and momentum admit explicit solutions within the Hilbert space. We show that the highest-energy components of the position eigenvectors retain a non-vanishing uniform weight, implying that the full spectrum remains relevant. The resulting autonomous matrix algebra also yields a new physical observable, the action difference. In the position basis, this observable gives rise to a momentum matrix with a discrete Cauchy kernel. After an alternating phase transformation, this matrix acts on plane waves in the infinite equidistant lattice model as the Schroedinger momentum operator, revealing a structural connection between the algebraic and analytic approaches. This framework retains the standard Hilbert-space spectral theory and remains closely connected to the familiar analytical structure of quantum mechanics, including the momentum operator and the uncertainty principle.

Clifford BMW Categories and Conformal Embeddings of Types B C and D

In this paper, we give diagrammatic descriptions of the quantum subgroups coming from conformal embeddings of the form $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{g}, \check{h}) \subset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{so}_{\dim \mathfrak{g}}, 1)$ for $\mathfrak{g}\in \left\{\mathfrak{so}_N, \mathfrak{sp}_{2N}\right\}$, as well as the conformal embeddings of the form $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{sp}_{2r + 2}, 2r) \subset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{so}_{\dim \mathfrak{sp}_{2r + 2}}, 1)$, extending the techniques of Edie-Michell and Snyder which applied to conformal embeddings of the form $\mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{sl}_r, r) \subset \mathcal{V}(\mathfrak{so}_{\dim \mathfrak{sl}_r}, 1)$. Our main conceptual innovation is the use of fermion condensation to construct a continuous family of planar superalgebras, which we call the Clifford BMW supercategories. The tower of endomorphism algebras, $CW_n(σ, ε)$ is a combination of Birman Wenzl Murakami algebras and Clifford algebras, much in the spirit of the Hecke Clifford algebras. This tower of algebras appears to be new, and already yields some exciting combinatorics.

Reflections of Nichols algebras in braided monoidal categories

Let $\C$ be an essentially small abelian rigid braided monoidal category. We prove a reflection theorem for Nichols algebras in $\Ind(\C)$ and show that tuples admitting all reflections define connected semi-Cartan graphs. As applications, we prove that a finite Nichols algebra has a generating object of length at most one in $PSU(2)_k$ for odd $k\ge3$, in $SU(2)_{4m}$ for $m\ge1$, and in the representation categories of the Virasoro minimal models $\mathcal M(2,p)$ for odd $p\ge5$. In all three families, we prove that every finite pre-Nichols algebra is a Nichols algebra.
