We study the positive representations Pλ of split real quantum groups Uqq (gℝ) restricted to the Borel subalgebra Uqq (bℝ). We prove that the restriction is independent of the parameter λ. Furthermore, we prove that it can be constructed from the GNS-representation of the multiplier Hopf algebra UqqC ∗ (b ℝ) defined earlier, which allows us to decompose their tensor product using the theory of the “multiplicative unitary”. In particular, the quantum mutation operator can be constructed from the multiplicity module, which will be an essential ingredient in the construction of quantum higher Teichmüller theory from the perspective of representation theory, generalizing earlier work by Frenkel-Kim.

The main purpose of this paper is to classify exchange relation planar algebras with 4 dimensional 2-boxes. Besides its skein theory, we emphasize the positivity of subfactor planar algebras based on the Schur product theorem. We will discuss the lattice of projections of 2-boxes, specifically the rank of the projections. From this point, several results about biprojections are obtained. The key break of the classification is to show the existence of a biprojection. By this method, we also classify another two families of subfactor planar algebras: subfactor planar algebras generated by 2-boxes with 4 dimensional 2-boxes and at most 23 dimensional 3-boxes; subfactor planar algebras generated by 2-boxes, such that the quotient of 3-boxes by the basic construction ideal is abelian. They extend the classification of singly generated planar algebras obtained by Bisch, Jones and the author.

We present a 3D topological picture-language for quantum information. Our approach combines charged excitations carried by strings, with topological properties that arise from embedding the strings in the interior of a 3D manifold with boundary. A quon is a composite that acts as a particle. Specifically, a quon is a hemisphere containing a neutral pair of open strings with opposite charge. We interpret multiquons and their transformations in a natural way. We obtain a type of relation, a string–genus “joint relation,” involving both a string and the 3D manifold. We use the joint relation to obtain a topological interpretation of the C* Hopf algebra relations, which are widely used in tensor networks. We obtain a 3D representation of the controlled NOT (CNOT) gate that is considerably simpler than earlier work, and a 3D topological protocol for teleportation.

We construct faithful actions of quantum permutation groups on connected compact metrizable spaces. This disproves a conjecture of Goswami.

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.
