The concept of a Hopf algebra originated in topology. Classically, Hopf algebras are defined on the basis of unital modules over commutative, unital rings. The intention of the present work is to study Hopf algebra formalism (§1.2) from a universal-algebraic point of view, within the context of entropic varieties. In an entropic variety, the operations of each algebra are homomorphisms, and ten...

A family of vertex algebras whose universal Verma modules coincide with the cohomology affine Laumon spaces is found. This result based on an explicit expression for generating function Poincaré polynomials these spaces. There a variant quantum Hamiltonian reduction that realizes which we call iterated $${\mathcal W}$$ -algebras and our main conjecture associated to are subalgebras -algebras.

A universal algebra is simple if and only if it has more than one element and there are no proper homomorphisms defined upon it. In this note we study a related notion : an algebra is pseudo-simple if and only if it has more than one element and is isomorphic to all its proper (i.e., non-one-element) homomorphic images. The two concepts simplicity and pseudo-simplicity are examples of concepts ...

We define Drinfeld orbifold algebras as filtered algebras deforming the skew group algebra (semi-direct product) arising from the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring. They simultaneously generalize Weyl algebras, graded (or Drinfeld) Hecke algebras, rational Cherednik algebras, symplectic reflection algebras, and universal enveloping algebras of Lie algebras with group actions. We giv...
