In our previous work, we studied positive representations of split real quantum groups U q q~ (g R ) restricted to their Borel part and showed that they are closed under taking tensor products. But the tensor product decomposition was only constructed abstractly using the GNS representation of a C*-algebraic version of the Drinfeld–Jimbo quantum groups. Here, using the recently discovered cluster realization of quantum groups, we write the decomposition explicitly by realizing it as a sequence of cluster mutations in the corresponding quiver diagram representing the tensor product.

Based on large N Chern-Simons/topological string duality, in a series of papers, Labastida, Mario, Ooguri, and Vafa conjectured certain remarkable new algebraic structure of link invariants and the existence of infinite series of new integer invariants. In this paper, we provide a proof of this conjecture. Moreover, we also show these new integer invariants vanish at large genera.

We construct the positive principal series representations for Uq(gR) where g is of type Bn, Cn, F4 or G2, parametrized by Rn where n is the rank of g. We show that under the representations, the generators of the Langlands dual group Uq(LgR) are related to the generators of Uq(gR) by the transcendental relations. This gives a new and very simple analytic relation between the Langlands dual pair. We define the modified quantum group Uqq(gR)=Uq(gR) ⊗ Uq(LgR) of the modular double and show that the representations of both parts of the modular double commute with each other, and there is an embedding into the q-tori polynomials.

We construct two non-semisimple braided ribbon tensor categories of modules for each singlet vertex operator algebra M(p), p≥2. The first category consists of all finite-length M(p)-modules with atypical composition factors, while the second is the subcategory of modules that induce to local modules for the triplet vertex operator algebra W(p). We show that every irreducible module has a projective cover in the second of these categories, although not in the first, and we compute all fusion products involving atypical irreducible modules and their projective covers.
