Abstract

We show how one can construct a differential calculus over an algebra where position variables x and momentum variables p have be defined. As the simplest example we consider the one-dimensional q-deformed Heisenberg algebra. This algebra has a subalgebra generated by x and its inverse which we call the coordinate algebra. A physical field is considered to be an element of the completion of this algebra. We can construct a derivative which leaves invariant the coordinate algebra and so takes physical fields into physical fields. A generalized Leibniz rule for this algebra can be found. Based on this derivative differential forms and an exterior differential calculus can be constructed.

Maximality Levels of the classical permutation group in the quantum permutation group

Progress on the conjecture of Banica and Bichon that the classical permutation group is a maximal quantum subgroup of the quantum permutation group remains limited to a handful of small-parameter results. By Tannaka--Krein duality, any counterexample to this Maximality Conjecture must arise from a category strictly intermediate between the category $\mathcal{NC}$ of non-crossing partitions and the category $\mathcal{P}$ of all partitions. Any such exotic category must therefore contain a linear combination of crossing-partition vectors. The categories generated by $\mathcal{NC}$ together with some such vectors are studied, with a number of generation results. It is shown that no exotic category can contain a linear combination of three crossing-partition vectors, and, using an argument of ChatGPT to account for a five-dimensional gap, there is no exotic category distinguished from $\mathcal{NC}$ or $\mathcal{P}$ at moments of order six.

Pre-modular fusion categories of global dimension $2p$

Let $p>5$ be a prime. In this paper, we show that a pre-modular fusion category of global dimension $2p$ is either pointed or tensor equivalent to $\text{Rep}(D_{2p})$.

Graded Automorphism of Multiparameter Quantum Matrix Algebra

We determine the graded automorphism group of the multiparameter quantum matrix algebra $\mathcal O_{λ,\mathbf p}(M_n(\Bbbk))$ over an arbitrary field $\Bbbk$ for all $n\ge2$ and $λ\ne1$. No other restrictions are assumed on $\mathbf p$ or $λ$. Every graded automorphism is a torus automorphism, possibly followed by transposition or by simultaneous reversal of the row and column indices. We give the precise parameter conditions for these two involutions. As an application, we also determine the full automorphism group when the multiplicative group generated by the parameters is torsion-free.
