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.

      Duality theorems for current algebras

      AbstractWe study some natural representations of current Lie algebras $g\otimes \Bbbk[t]$, called Weyl modules. They are natural analogues of irreducible representations of simple Lie algebras. There are several current analogues of classical theorems about Lie algebras where these modules «play role» of irreducible modules. In my talk I will explain analogues of duality theorems, namely Peter-...

      Quantum affine algebras and Grassmannians

      Abstract:In this talk, I will talk about the joint work with Wen Chang, Bing Duan, and Chris Fraser on quantum affine algebras of type A and Grassmannian cluster algebras.Let g=sl_k and U_q(^g) the corresponding quantum affine algebra. Hernandez and Leclerc proved that there is an isomorphism Phi from the Grothendieck ring R_l^g of a certain subcategory C_l^g of finite dimensional U_q(^g)-modu...
