Solitons in two-dimensional quantum field theory exhibit patterns of degeneracies and associated selection rules on scattering amplitudes. We develop a representation theory that captures these intriguing features of solitons. This representation theory is based on an algebra we refer to as the "strip algebra", $textrm{Str}_{mathcal{C}}(mathcal{M})$, which is defined in terms of the non-invertible symmetry, $mathcal{C},$ a fusion category, and its action on boundary conditions encoded by a module category, $mathcal{M}$. The strip algebra is a $C^*$-weak Hopf algebra, a fact which can be elegantly deduced by quantizing the three-dimensional Drinfeld center TQFT, $mathcal{Z}(mathcal{C}),$ on a spatial manifold with corners. These structures imply that the representation category of the strip algebra is also a unitary fusion category which we identify with a dual category $mathcal{C}_{mathcal{M}}^{*}.$ We present a straightforward method for analyzing these representations in terms of quiver diagrams where nodes are vacua and arrows are solitons and provide examples demonstrating how the representation theory reproduces known degeneracies and selection rules of soliton scattering. Our analysis provides the general framework for analyzing non-invertible symmetry on manifolds with boundary and applies both to the case of boundaries at infinity, relevant to particle physics, and boundaries at finite distance, relevant in conformal field theory or condensed matter systems.

We elaborate an algebraic framework for describing internal topological symmetries of gapped boundaries of (2+1)D topological orders. We present a categorical obstruction to the coherence of bulk group symmetry and boundary symmetries in terms of liftings of categorical actions on the bulk theory to a certain 2-group of boundary symmetries.

Let $m$, $n$ be two positive integers, $Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field with char($Bbbk)nmid mn$. Radford constructed an $mn^{2}$-dimensional Hopf algebra $R_{mn}(q)$ such that its Jacobson radical is not a Hopf ideal. We show that the Drinfeld double $D(R_{mn}(q))$ of Radford Hopf algebra $R_{mn}(q)$ has ribbon elements if and only if $n$ is odd. Moreover, if $m$ is even and $n$ is odd, then $D(R_{mn}(q))$ has two ribbon elements, if both $m$ and $n$ are odd, then $D(R_{mn}(q))$ has only one ribbon element. Finally, we compute explicitly all ribbon elements of $D(R_{mn}(q))$.

A simple geometric way is suggested to derive the Ward identities in the Chern-Simons theory, also known as quantum $A$- and $C$-polynomials for knots. In quasi-classical limit it is closely related to the well publicized augmentation theory and contact geometry. Quantization allows to present it in much simpler terms, what could make these techniques available to a broader audience. To avoid overloading of the presentation, only the case of the colored Jones polynomial for the trefoil knot is considered, though various generalizations are straightforward. Restriction to solely Jones polynomials (rather than full HOMFLY-PT) is related to a serious simplification, provided by the use of Kauffman calculus. Going beyond looks realistic, however it remains a problem, both challenging and promising.

$DeclareMathOperator{G}{mathbb{G}}DeclareMathOperator{Rep}{Rep} DeclareMathOperator{Corr}{Corr}$Let $G$ be a locally compact quantum group and $(M, alpha)$ a $G$-$W^*$-algebra. The object of study of this paper is the $W^*$-category $Rep^{G}(M)$ of normal, unital $G$-representations of $M$ on Hilbert spaces endowed with a unitary $G$-representation. This category has a right action of the category $Rep(G)= Rep^{G}(mathbb{C})$ for which it becomes a right $Rep(G)$-module $W^*$-category. Given another $G$-$W^*$-algebra $(N, beta)$, we denote the category of normal $*$-functors $Rep^{G}(N)to Rep^{G}(M)$ compatible with the $Rep(G)$-module structure by $operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))$ and we denote the category of $G$-$M$-$N$-correspondences by $operatorname{Corr}^{G}(M,N)$. We prove that there are canonical functors $P: Corr^{G}(M,N)to operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))$ and $Q: operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))to operatorname{Corr}^{G}(M,N)$ such that $Q circ Pcong operatorname{id}.$ We use these functors to show that the $G$-dynamical von Neumann algebras $(M, alpha)$ and $(N, beta)$ are equivariantly Morita equivalent if and only if $Rep^{G}(N)$ and $Rep^{G}(M)$ are equivalent as $Rep(G)$-module-$W^*$-categories. Specializing to the case where $G$ is a compact quantum group, we prove that moreover $Pcirc Q cong operatorname{id}$, so that the categories $Corr^{G}(M,N)$ and $operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))$ are equivalent. This is an equivariant version of the Eilenberg-Watts theorem for actions of compact quantum groups on von Neumann algebras.
$DeclareMathOperator{G}{mathbb{G}}DeclareMathOperator{/Rep}{Rep}DeclareMathOperator{Corr}{Corr}$Let $G$ be a locally compact quantum group and $(M, alpha)$ a $G$-$W^*$-algebra.本文的研究对象是$M$在希尔伯特空间上的正态、单元$G$表示的$W^*$类别$Rep^{G}(M)$。这个类别有一个右作用类别 $Rep(G)= Rep^{G}(mathbb{C})$ ,因此它成为一个右 $Rep(G)$ 模块 $W^*$ 类别。给定另一个$G$-$W^*$-代数$(N, beta)$,我们用$operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N)、(M))$,我们用$operatorname{Corr}^{G}(M,N)$来表示$G$-$M$-$N$对应的范畴。我们将证明,有 Canonical 函数 $P:Corr^{G}(M,N)to operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))$ 和 $Q:operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}((Rep^{G}(N), (Rep^{G}(M)))tooperatorname{Corr}^{G}(M,N)$ 这样 $Q circ Pcong operatorname{id}.我们使用这些函数来证明,当且仅当$(M,alpha)$和$(N,beta)$等价于$Rep^{G}(N)$和$Rep^{G}(M)$等价于$Rep(G)$-module-$W^*$-categories时,$G$-动态冯诺伊曼数组$(M,alpha)$和$(N,beta)$等价于莫里塔等价。在$G$是一个紧凑量子群的情况下,我们证明了此外$Pcirc Q congoperatorname{id}$,所以类别$Corr^{G}(M,N)$和$operatorname{Fun}_{Rep(G)}(Rep^{G}(N), Rep^{G}(M))$是等价的。这是关于冯-诺伊曼代数上紧凑量子群作用的艾伦伯格-瓦茨定理的等变版本。

We study the Lie algebra of physical states associated with certain vertex operator algebras of central charge 24. By applying the no-ghost theorem from string theory we express the corresponding Lie brackets in terms of vertex algebra operations. In the special case of the Moonshine module this result answers a question of Borcherds, posed in his paper on the Monstrous moonshine conjecture.

After recalling the notion of higher roots (or hyper-roots) associated with "quantum modules" of type $(G, k)$, for $G$ a semi-simple Lie group and $k$ a positive integer, following the definition given by A. Ocneanu in 2000, we study the theta series of their lattices. Here we only consider the higher roots associated with quantum modules (aka module-categories over the fusion category defined by the pair $(G,k)$) that are also "quantum subgroups". For $G=SU{2}$ the notion of higher roots coincides with the usual notion of roots for ADE Dynkin diagrams and the self-fusion restriction (the property of being a quantum subgroup) selects the diagrams of type $A_{r}$, $D_{r}$ with $r$ even, $E_6$ and $E_8$; their theta series are well known. In this paper we take $G=SU{3}$, where the same restriction selects the modules ${mathcal A}_k$, ${mathcal D}_k$ with $mod(k,3)=0$, and the three exceptional cases ${mathcal E}_5$, ${mathcal E}_9$ and ${mathcal E}_{21}$. The theta series for their associated lattices are expressed in terms of modular forms twisted by appropriate Dirichlet characters.

Pseudo-entropy and SVD entropy are generalizations of the entanglement entropy that involve post-selection. In this work we analyze their properties as measures on the spaces of quantum states and argue that their excess provides useful characterization of a difference between two (i.e. pre-selected and post-selected) states, which shares certain features and in certain cases can be identified as a metric. In particular, when applied to link complement states that are associated to topological links via Chern-Simons theory, these generalized entropies and their excess provide a novel quantification of a difference between corresponding links. We discuss the dependence of such entropy measures on the level of Chern-Simons theory and determine their asymptotic values for certain link states. We find that imaginary part of the pseudo-entropy is sensitive to, and can diagnose chirality of knots. We also consider properties of these entropy measures for simpler quantum mechanical systems, such as generalized SU(2) and SU(1,1) coherent states, and tripartite GHZ and W states.
