Abstract

This paper is a continuation of math.QA/9907181 and math.QA/9908115. We consider traces of intertwiners between certain representations of the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a semisimple complex Lie algebra g, which are twisted by a ``generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triple'', i.e a triple consisting of two subdiagrams of the Dynkin diagram of g together with an isomorphism between them. The generating functions F(lambda,mu) for such traces depend on two weights lambda and mu. We show that F(lambda,mu) satisfy two sets of difference equations in the variable lambda: the Macdonald-Ruijsenaars (MR) equations and the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (qKZB) equations. These equations involve as a main ingredient the quantum dynamical R-matrices constructed in math.QA/9912009. When the generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triple is an automorphism, we show that F(lambda,mu) satisfy another two sets of difference equations with respect to the weight mu. These dual MR and dual qKZB equations involve the usual Felder's dynamical R-matrix. These results were first obtained by the first author and A. Varchenko in the special case of the trivial Belavin-Drinfeld triple. However, the symmetry between lambda and mu which exists in that case is destroyed in the twisted setting. At the end, we brielfly treat the (simialr) case of Kac-Moody algebras g and derive the classical limits of all the previous results.

An infinitesimal deformation of the post-Lie and post-Hopf algebra correspondence

We describe infinitesimal deformations of post-Lie algebras and post-Hopf algebras and prove that the universal enveloping algebra and primitive elements adjunction is compatible with the infinitesimal structure. In characteristic zero, this restricts to an equivalence for connected cocommutative infinitesimal post-Hopf algebras, extending the Cartier--Milnor--Moore theorem. We parametrize all infinitesimal post-Lie structures on $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ and exhibit a second-order obstruction. From a geometric point of view, infinitesimal post-Lie algebras emerge from flat connections with covariantly constant torsion and an additional compatible symmetric $(1,2)$-tensor. This leads to explicit examples of infinitesimal post-Lie structures based on Heisenberg Lie algebras. On the Hopf side, we classify infinitesimal structures above the trivial action, prove rigidity for group algebras, and describe the structures on Sweedler's Hopf algebra. The subadjacent construction induces a Hopf algebra deformation with fixed coproduct. Finally, we prove that the quadratic operad of infinitesimal post-Lie algebras is Koszul, using a filtered distributive law between the operads of Lie algebras and bi-magmas.

Galois-modular obstructions to the categorification of near-group fusion rings

In this article we establish new obstructions to the categorification of near-group fusion rings by combining the values of irreducible characters of the Grothendieck ring with the Galois symmetry of the induced unit object $I(1)$ in the Drinfeld center. As a result, we show that a near-group ring of type $G+m$, where $G$ is an abelian group and both $|G|$ and $m$ are odd, can only categorify if $m=|G|$.

Reflective algebras over factorizable Hopf algebras

The reflective algebra $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$, introduced by Laugwitz, Walton and Yakimov, is a quasitriangular left $H$-comodule algebra constructed from a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $(H,R)$ and a left $H$-comodule algebra $A$. We study the structure and factorizability of finite-dimensional reflective algebras. When $(H,R)$ is factorizable, we show that $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$ is isomorphic, as a quasitriangular left $H$-comodule algebra, to $A\otimes H$ equipped with the trivial left $H$-coaction on $A$ and the universal $K$-matrix induced by $R_{21}R$. In this case, we also classify all universal $K$-matrices on $R_H(A)$. Finally, we prove that $(R_H(A),K_{\mathrm{ref}}(A))$ is factorizable if and only if $(H,R)$ is factorizable and $A$ is simple as an algebra.
