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

The universal R operator for the positive representations of split real quantum groups is computed, generalizing the formula of compact quantum groups forumla by Kirillov–Reshetikhin and Levendorskiĭ–Soibelman, and the formula in the case of forumla by Faddeev, Kashaev, and Bytsko-Teschner. Several new functional relations of the quantum dilogarithm are obtained, generalizing the quantum exponential relations and the pentagon relations. The quantum Weyl element and Lusztig's isomorphism in the positive setting are also studied in detail. Finally, we introduce a C*-algebraic version of the split real quantum group in the language of multiplier Hopf algebras, and consequently the definition of R is made rigorous as the canonical element of the Drinfeld's double U of certain multiplier Hopf algebra Ub. Moreover, a ribbon structure is introduced for an extension of U.

The first two authors classified subfactor planar algebra generated by a non-trivial 2-box subject to the condition that the dimension of 3-boxes is at most 12 in Part I; 13 in Part II of this series. They are the group planar algebra for , the Fuss-Catalan planar algebra, and the group/subgroup planar algebra for Z_2 ⊂ Z_5 \rtimes Z_2.. In the present paper, we extend the classification to 14 dimensional 3-boxes. They are all Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebras. Precisely it contains a depth 3 one from quantum O(3), and a one-parameter family from quantum S_p(4).

We describe the generalized Casimir operators and their actions on the positive representations Pλ of the modular double of split real quantum groups Uqq (gR). We introduce the notion of virtual highest and lowest weights, and show that the central characters admit positive values for all parameters λ. We show that their image defines a semi-algebraic region bounded by real points of the discriminant variety independent of q, and we discuss explicit examples in the lower rank cases.

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.
