Twin TQFTs and Frobenius algebras

We introduce the category of singular 2-dimensional cobordisms and show that it admits a completely algebraic description as the free symmetric monoidal category on a twin Frobenius algebra, by providing a description of this category in terms of generators and relations. A twin Frobenius algebra (C, W, z, z^*) consists of a commutative Frobenius algebra C, a symmetric Frobenius algebra W, and an algebra homomorphism z: C - > W with dual z^*: W -> C, satisfying some extra conditions. We also introduce a generalized 2-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theory defined on singular 2-dimensional cobordisms and show that it is equivalent to a twin Frobenius algebra in a symmetric monoidal category.Comment: 38 pages, many figures; some concepts have been clarified; references and proofs have been adde

Solvable Leibniz Algebras with Filiform Nilradical

In this paper we continue the description of solvable Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is a filiform algebra. In fact, solvable Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is a naturally graded filiform Leibniz algebra are described in [6] and [8]. Here we extend the description to solvable Leibniz algebras whose nilradical is a filiform algebra. We establish that solvable Leibniz algebras with filiform Lie nilradical are Lie algebras.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad MTM2013-43687-

A Littlewood-Richardson rule for evaluation representations of quantum affine sl(n)

We give a combinatorial description of the composition factors of the induction product of two evaluation modules of the affine Iwahori-Hecke algebra of type GL(m). Using quantum affine Schur-Weyl duality, this yields a combinatorial description of the composition factors of the tensor product of two evaluation modules of the quantum affine algebra of type sl(n)
