Braided Hopf algebras have attracted much attention in both mathematics and mathematical physics (see e.g. [2][4][14][16][17][18][20][23]). The classification of finite dimensional Hopf algebras is interesting and important for their applications (see [1] [24]). Braided Hopf algebras play an important role in the classification of finite-dimensional pointed Hopf algebras (e.g. [1][2] [21]). The...

A differential calculus of the first order over multi-braided quantum groups is developed. In analogy with the standard theory, left/rightcovariant and bicovariant differential structures are introduced and investigated. Furthermore, antipodally covariant calculi are studied. The concept of the *-structure on a multi-braided quantum group is formulated, and in particular the structure of left-c...

This paper presents the development and properties assessment of braided reinforced composite rods (BCR) able to both reinforce and monitor the stress state of concrete infrastructures. The research study aims at understanding the tensile behaviour and self-monitoring ability of composite rods reinforced by a textile structure braided structure with core reinforcement for civil engineering appl...

This paper describes a new measuring algorithm for three-dimensional (3-D) braided composite material .Braided angle is an important parameter of braided composites. The objective of this paper is to present an automatic measuring system. In the paper, the algorithm is performed by using vc++6.0 language on PC. An advanced filtered algorithm for image of 3-D braided composites material performs...

In the last lecture we have learned that the category of modules over a braided Hopf algebra H is a braided monoidal category. A braided Hopf algebra is a rather sophisticated algebraic object, it is not easy to give interesting nontrivial examples. In this text we develop a theory that will lead to a concrete recipe which produces a nontrivial braided Hopf algebra D(A) (called Drinfeld’s quant...

We continue the study of freely braided elements of simply laced Coxeter groups, which we introduced in a previous work. A known upper bound for the number of commutation classes of reduced expressions for an element of a simply laced Coxeter group is shown to be achieved only when the element is freely braided; this establishes the converse direction of a previous result. It is also shown that...

The q-Poincaré group of [1] is shown to have the structure of a semidirect product and coproduct B>⊳ ̃ SOq(1, 3) where B is a braided-quantum group structure on the q-Minkowski space of 4-momentum with braided-coproduct ∆p = p⊗ 1+1⊗p. Here the necessary B is not a usual kind of quantum group, but one with braid statistics. Similar braided-vectors and covectors V (R), V (R) exist for a general R...

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 ...

In order to effectively differentiate all kinds of defects inside the composites, this paper carries out testing on the internal defects of three-dimensional (3d) braided composites by use of acoustic emission nondestructive detecting technology. It puts forward the processing method for acoustic emission signals for the internal defects of three-dimensional braided composites based on wavelet ...

We interpret a recent formula for counting orbits of GL(d, Fq) in terms of counting fixed points as addition in the affine braided line. The theory of such braided groups (or Hopf algebras in braided categories) allows us to obtain the inverse relationship, which turns out to be the same formula but with q and q interchanged (a perfect duality between counting orbits and counting fixed points)....
