The paper deals with braided Clifford algebras, understood as Chevalley-Kähler deformations of braided exterior algebras. It is shown that Clifford algebras based on involutive braids can be naturally endowed with a braided quantum group structure. Basic group entities are constructed explicitly.

The paper is devoted to prove a version of Milnor-Moore Theorem for connected braided bialgebras that are infinitesimally cocommutative. Namely in characteristic different from 2, we prove that, for a given connected braided bialgebra A having a λ-cocommutative infinitesimal braiding for some regular element λ 6= 0 in the base field, then the infinitesimal braiding of A is of Hecke-type of mark...

The quantised braided groups were introduced recently in [1] combining Majid’s concept of braided groups [2] and the FRT formulation of quantum supergroups [3]. The generators of quantised braided groups T = T j i , i, j ∈ {1, . . . , d = dimV } satisfy the algebraic and braid relations Q12R −1 12 T1R12T2 = R −1 21 T2R21T1Q12 (1) ψ(T1 ⊗R12T2) = R12T2 ⊗R −1 12 T1R12 (2) where the numerical matri...

Magnetic vortices intermittently flow through preferred channels when they are forced in or out of a superconductor. We study this behavior using a cellular model, and find that the vortex flow can make braided rivers strikingly similar to aerial photographs of braided fluvial rivers, such as the Brahmaputra. By developing an analysis technique suitable for characterizing a selfaffine (multi)fr...

A generalized oscillator algebra is proposed and the braided Hopf algebra structure for this generalized oscillator is investigated. Using the solutions for the braided Hopf algebra structure, two types of braided Fibonacci oscillators are introduced. This leads to two types of braided Biedenharn-Macfarlane oscillators as special cases of the Fibonacci oscillators. We also find the braided Hopf...

BACKGROUND Cervical incompetence is one of the causes of preterm birth and mid-trimester pregnancy loss. Cervical cerclage is a surgical procedure to treat cervical incompetence. Cervical cerclage reduces the incidence of preterm birth in women at risk of recurrent preterm birth, without a statistically significant reduction in perinatal mortality or neonatal morbidity. Multifilament/braided su...

We associate to any braided 2-groupoid with vanishing intermediate homotopy group a principal bundle (or torsor) endowed with a so-called Σ-structure, and show that this is the natural generalization to the 2-category context of the familiar quadratic invariant describing a braided groupoid. The corresponding structures for higher braided n-groupoids are also examined. This leads to the concept...

When a quantum hyperboloid is realized, as a three parameter algebra Ah,q, in the usual manner, the following problem arises: what is a ”representation theory” of this algebra? We construct the series of all spin representations of Ah,q, and we discuss a braided version of the orbit method, i.e. a correspondence between orbits in g∗ and g-modules. A braided trace and a braided involution are di...

The centre of a monoidal category is a braided monoidal category. Monoidal categories are monoidal objects (or pseudomonoids) in the monoidal bicategory of categories. This paper provides a universal construction in a braided monoidal bicategory that produces a braided monoidal object from any monoidal object. Some properties and sufficient conditions for existence of the construction are exami...
