A Noncrossing Basis for Noncommutative Invariants of SL(2,C)
Noncommutative invariant theory is a generalization of the classical
invariant theory of the action of SL(2,\IC) on binary forms. The dimensions
of the spaces of invariant noncommutative polynomials coincide with the numbers
of certain noncrossing partitions. We give an elementary combinatorial
explanation of this fact by constructing a noncrossing basis of the homogeneous
components. Using the theory free stochastic measures this provides a
combinatorial proof of the Molien-Weyl formula in this setting.Comment: AMS LaTeX, 13 pages, using Asymptote picture
Fusion rules for quantum reflection groups
We find the fusion rules for the quantum analogues of the complex reflection
groups . The irreducible representations can be
indexed by the elements of the free monoid , and their tensor
products are given by formulae which remind the Clebsch-Gordan rules (which
appear at ).Comment: 33 page
Interactions between Algebraic Geometry and Noncommutative Algebra
The workshop discussed the interactions between algebraic geometry and various areas of noncommutative algbebra including finite dimensional algebras, representation theory of algebras and noncommutative algebraic geometry. More than 45 mathematicians participated with a notable number of young mathematicians present
Finite groups acting linearly: Hochschild cohomology and the cup product
When a finite group acts linearly on a complex vector space, the natural
semi-direct product of the group and the polynomial ring over the space forms a
skew group algebra. This algebra plays the role of the coordinate ring of the
resulting orbifold and serves as a substitute for the ring of invariant
polynomials from the viewpoint of geometry and physics. Its Hochschild
cohomology predicts various Hecke algebras and deformations of the orbifold. In
this article, we investigate the ring structure of the Hochschild cohomology of
the skew group algebra. We show that the cup product coincides with a natural
smash product, transferring the cohomology of a group action into a group
action on cohomology. We express the algebraic structure of Hochschild
cohomology in terms of a partial order on the group (modulo the kernel of the
action). This partial order arises after assigning to each group element the
codimension of its fixed point space. We describe the algebraic structure for
Coxeter groups, where this partial order is given by the reflection length
function; a similar combinatorial description holds for an infinite family of
complex reflection groups.Comment: 30 page
Hopf Algebras of m-permutations, (m+1)-ary trees, and m-parking functions
The m-Tamari lattice of F. Bergeron is an analogue of the clasical Tamari
order defined on objects counted by Fuss-Catalan numbers, such as m-Dyck paths
or (m+1)-ary trees. On another hand, the Tamari order is related to the product
in the Loday-Ronco Hopf algebra of planar binary trees. We introduce new
combinatorial Hopf algebras based on (m+1)-ary trees, whose structure is
described by the m-Tamari lattices.
In the same way as planar binary trees can be interpreted as sylvester
classes of permutations, we obtain (m+1)-ary trees as sylvester classes of what
we call m-permutations. These objects are no longer in bijection with
decreasing (m+1)-ary trees, and a finer congruence, called metasylvester,
allows us to build Hopf algebras based on these decreasing trees. At the
opposite, a coarser congruence, called hyposylvester, leads to Hopf algebras of
graded dimensions (m+1)^{n-1}, generalizing noncommutative symmetric functions
and quasi-symmetric functions in a natural way. Finally, the algebras of packed
words and parking functions also admit such m-analogues, and we present their
subalgebras and quotients induced by the various congruences.Comment: 51 page
Nonlocal, noncommutative diagrammatics and the linked cluster Theorems
Recent developments in quantum chemistry, perturbative quantum field theory,
statistical physics or stochastic differential equations require the
introduction of new families of Feynman-type diagrams. These new families arise
in various ways. In some generalizations of the classical diagrams, the notion
of Feynman propagator is extended to generalized propagators connecting more
than two vertices of the graphs. In some others (introduced in the present
article), the diagrams, associated to noncommuting product of operators inherit
from the noncommutativity of the products extra graphical properties. The
purpose of the present article is to introduce a general way of dealing with
such diagrams. We prove in particular a "universal" linked cluster theorem and
introduce, in the process, a Feynman-type "diagrammatics" that allows to handle
simultaneously nonlocal (Coulomb-type) interactions, the generalized diagrams
arising from the study of interacting systems (such as the ones where the
ground state is not the vacuum but e.g. a vacuum perturbed by a magnetic or
electric field, by impurities...) or Wightman fields (that is, expectation
values of products of interacting fields). Our diagrammatics seems to be the
first attempt to encode in a unified algebraic framework such a wide variety of
situations. In the process, we promote two ideas. First, Feynman-type
diagrammatics belong mathematically to the theory of linear forms on
combinatorial Hopf algebras. Second, linked cluster-type theorems rely
ultimately on M\"obius inversion on the partition lattice. The two theories
should therefore be introduced and presented accordingl
