Abstract

Quasitriangular Hopf algebras are Hopf algebras whose finite-dimensional representations form braided rigid tensor categories, which are naturally related thto low-dimensional topology. Drinfel'd introudced quasitriangular Hopf algebras to give solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equations. Given an arbitrary Hopf algebra, it’s difficult to give all possible quasitriangular structures on it due to the lack of general methods. We will talk about the symmetry of quasitriangular structures on some Hopf algebras which can greatly simplify the problem. After that, the classification of certain quasitriangular Hopf algebras by dimension will be discussed.

On weak Hopf symmetry and weak Hopf quantum double model
AbstractSymmetry is a central concept for classical and quantum field theory, usually, symmetry is described by a finite group or Lie group. In this talk, we introduce the weak Hopf algebra extension of symmetry, which arises naturally in anyonic quantum systems; and we establish the weak Hopf symmetry breaking theory based on the fusion closed set of anyons. As a concrete example, we implement...
