The main aim of this paper is to investigate the structure of primitively generated connected braided bialgebras A with respect to the braided vector space P consisting of their primitive elements. When the Nichols algebra of P is obtained dividing out the tensor algebra T (P ) by the two-sided ideal generated by its primitive elements of degree at least two, we show that A can be recovered as ...

The notion of q-Brownian motion introduced by Majid is extended to braided spaces corresponding to a generic R-matrix, and combined with the theory of quantum probability. This leads to a deenition of diiusions on these spaces. The corresponding heat equations (diierence-diierential equations) are solved in terms of Appell polynomials (i.e. shifted moment systems). Some examples of interest for...

We show that every Lie algebra or superLie algebra has a canonical braiding on it, and that in terms of this its enveloping algebra appears as a flat space with braided-commuting coordinate functions. This also gives a new point of view about q-Minkowski space which arises in a similar way as the enveloping algebra of the braided Lie algebra gl2,q. Our point of view fixes the signature of the m...

A braided Yang-Baxter Algebra in a Theory of two coupled Lattice Quantum KdV: algebraic properties and ABA representations. Abstract A generalization of the Yang-Baxter algebra is found in quantizing the mon-odromy matrix of two (m)KdV equations discretized on a space lattice. This braided Yang-Baxter equation still ensures that the transfer matrix generates operators in involution which form t...

We prove the existence of a basis of Poincaré-Birkhoff-Witt type for braided Hopf algebras R generated by a braided subspace V ⊂ P (R) if the braiding on V fulfils a triangularity condition. We apply our result to pointed Hopf algebras with abelian coradical and to Nichols algebras of low dimensional simple Uq(sl2)-modules.

Presentations for unbraided, braided and symmetric pseudomonoids are defined. Biequivalences characterising the semistrict bicategories generated by these presentations are proven. It is shown that these biequivalences categorify results in the theory of monoids and commutative monoids, and are generalisations of standard coherence theorems for braided and symmetric monoidal categories.

PURPOSE Little data exist comparing the strength of traditional methods of fixation in a flexor digitorum profundus tendon with the use of a suture anchor. In vitro cyclic testing simulating a passive mobilization protocol was used to compare the repair of a flexor digitorum profundus tendon using a single micro-Mitek anchor (Mitek, Westwood, MA) or a modified Bunnell 2-strand pullout technique...
