Braid Representations from Quantum Groups of Exceptional Lie Type
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the problem of determining if the braid group representations obtained from quantum groups of types E,F and G at roots of unity have infinite image or not. In particular we show that when the fusion categories associated with these quantum groups are not weakly integral, the braid group images are infinite. This provides further evidence for a recent conjecture that weak integrality is necessary and sufficient for the braid group representations associated with any braided fusion category to have finite image.

Irreducibility of the tensor product of Albeverio's representations of the Braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$
We consider Albeverio's linear representations of the braid groups $B_3$ and $B_4$. We specialize the indeterminates used in defining these representations to non zero complex numbers. We then consider the tensor products of the representations of $B_3$ and the tensor products of those of $B_4$. We then determine necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the irreducibility of th...
متن کاملBraid Group Representations from Twisted Quantum Doubles of Finite Groups
We investigate the braid group representations arising from categories of representations of twisted quantum doubles of finite groups. For these categories, we show that the resulting braid group representations always factor through finite groups, in contrast to the categories associated with quantum groups at roots of unity. We also show that in the case of p-groups, the corresponding pure br...

The goal of the next two talks is to (1) discuss a class of integrable connections associated to root systems (2) describe their monodromy in terms of quantum groups These connections come in two forms: • Rational form leading to representations of braid groups (this week) • Trigonometric form leading to representations of affine braid groups (next week) The relevance of these connections is th...
متن کاملAbstract error groups via Jones unitary braid group representations at q = i
In this paper, we classify a type of abstract groups by the central products of dihedral groups and quaternion groups. We recognize them as abstract error groups which are often not isomorphic to the Pauli groups in the literature. We show the corresponding nice error bases equivalent to the Pauli error bases modulo phase factors. The extension of these abstract groups by the symmetric group ar...
متن کاملSolutions of the Yang-baxter Equations from Braided-lie Algebras and Braided Groups
We obtain an R-matrix or matrix representation of the Artin braid group acting in a canonical way on the vector space of every (super)-Lie algebra or braided-Lie algebra. The same result applies for every (super)-Hopf algebra or braided-Hopf algebra. We recover some known representations such as those associated to racks. We also obtain new representations such as a non-trivial one on the ring ...
