Narain lattices are unimodular lattices {\it in} $\R^{r,s}$, subject to certain natural equivalence relation and rationality condition. The problem of describing and counting these rational equivalence classes of Narain lattices in $\R^{2,2}$ has led to an interesting connection to binary forms and their Gauss products, as shown in [HLOYII]. As a sequel, in this paper, we study arbitrary rational Narain lattices and generalize some of our earlier results. In particular in the case of $\R^{2,2}$, a new interpretation of the Gauss product of binary forms brings new light to a number of related objects -- rank 4 rational Narain lattices, over-lattices, rank 2 primitive sublattices of an abstract rank 4 even unimodular lattice U 2 , and isomorphisms of discriminant groups of rank 2 lattices

Bisch and Jones proposed the classification of planar algebras by simple generators and relations. They investigated with the second author the classification of planar algebras generated by 2-boxes. In this paper, we classify singly-generated Thurston-relation planar algebras, defined as subfactor planar algebras generated by a 3-box satisfying a relation proposed by Dylan Thurston. Our main result shows that such subfactor planar algebras are either the E6 subfactor planar algebras or belong to a two-parameter family of planar algebras arising from the representations of type A quantum groups. We introduce a new method for determining positivity of the Markov trace of planar algebras in this family.

Nous montrons que le morphisme de Frobenius quantique construit par Lusztig dans le cadre des algèbres enveloppantes quantiques $U_{\mathcal{B}}$ spécialisées en une racine de l’unité admet un scindage multiplicatif (non unitaire). Nous utilisons pour ce faire une base de la partie torique de la petite algèbre quantique constituée d’idempotents orthogonaux deux à deux et de somme 1 et faisons de même dans le cas «modulaire» pour l’algèbre des distributions d’un groupe algébrique semi-simple.

Let $\mathbf{U}$ be the quantum group and $\mathbf{f}$ be the Lusztig's algebra associated with a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix. The algebra $\mathbf{f}$ can be viewed as the positive part of $\mathbf{U}$. Lusztig introduced some symmetries $T_i$ on $\mathbf{U}$ for all $i\in I$. Since $T_i(\mathbf{f})$ is not contained in $\mathbf{f}$, Lusztig considered two subalgebras ${_i\mathbf{f}}$ and ${^i\mathbf{f}}$ of $\mathbf{f}$ for any $i\in I$, where ${_i\mathbf{f}}=\{x\in\mathbf{f}\,\,|\,\,T_i(x)\in\mathbf{f}\}$ and ${^i\mathbf{f}}=\{x\in\mathbf{f}\,\,|\,\,T^{-1}_i(x)\in\mathbf{f}\}$. The restriction of $T_i$ on ${_i\mathbf{f}}$ is also denoted by $T_i:{_i\mathbf{f}}\rightarrow{^i\mathbf{f}}$. The geometric realization of $\mathbf{f}$ and its canonical basis are introduced by Lusztig via some semisimple complexes on the variety consisting of representations of the corresponding quiver. When the generalized Cartan matrix is symmetric, Xiao and Zhao gave geometric realizations of Lusztig's symmetries in the sense of Lusztig. In this paper, we shall generalize this result and give geometric realizations of ${_i\mathbf{f}}$, ${^i\mathbf{f}}$ and $T_i:{_i\mathbf{f}}\rightarrow{^i\mathbf{f}}$ by using the language 'quiver with automorphism' introduced by Lusztig.

We found an explicit construction of a representation of the positive quantum group and its modular double by positive essentially self-adjoint operators. Generalizing Lusztig's parametrization, we found a Gauss type decomposition for the totally positive quantum group parametrized by the standard decomposition of the longest element . Under this parametrization, we found explicitly the relations between the standard quantum variables, the relations between the quantum cluster variables, and realizing them using non-compact generators of the q-tori by positive essentially self-adjoint operators. The modular double arises naturally from the transcendental relations, and an space in the von Neumann setting can also be defined.
