Quantum symmetries implemented by quantum groups and unitary tensor categories: Boundary theory, equivariant injective envelopes and factorization homology
Abstract
Operator algebras were born out of the attempt to give mathematically rigorous foundations to quantum mechanics, and its development has been higly influenced by the mathematical approaches to understanding quantum field theories. Symmetries, central characters in physics, are understood in these approaches as symmetries of operator algebras. With the changes of paradigms concerning symmetries in physics, there came changes of paradigms regarding the concept of symmetries of operator algebras. This thesis elaborates on two main ideas: actions of quantum groups and C*-tensor categories. One can think of those as extensions to the category of noncommutative topological spaces of group theory and representation theory, respectively. The topics we cover are: boundary actions, equivariant injectivity, Yetter-Drinfeld C*-algebras and factorization homology.List of papers
