Hopf algebra

In mathematics, a Hopf algebra, named after Heinz Hopf, is a structure that is simultaneously an (unital associative) algebra and a (counital coassociative) coalgebra, with these structures' compatibility making it a bialgebra, and that moreover is equipped with an antiautomorphism satisfying a certain property. The representation theory of a Hopf algebra is particularly nice, since the existence of compatible comultiplication, counit, and antipode allows for the construction of tensor products of representations, trivial representations, and dual representations. Hopf algebras occur naturally in algebraic topology, where they originated and are related to the H-space concept, in group scheme theory, in group theory (via the concept of a group ring), and in numerous other places, making them probably the most familiar type of bialgebra. Hopf algebras are also studied in their own right, with much work on specific classes of examples on the one hand and classification problems on the other. They have diverse applications ranging from condensed-matter physics and quantum field theory to string theory and LHC phenomenology. (Wikipedia).

Matt SZCZESNY - Toric Hall Algebras and infinite-dimentional Lie algebras

The process of counting extensions in categories yields an associative (and sometimes Hopf) algebra called a Hall algebra. Applied to the category of Feynman graphs, this process recovers the Connes-Kreimer Hopf algebra. Other examples abound, yielding various combinatorial Hopf algebras.

What is the Hopf Fibration?

In this video I shed some light on a heavily alluded to and poorly explained object, the Hopf Fibration. The Hopf Fibration commonly shows up in discussions surrounding gauge theories and fundamental physics, though its construction is not so mysterious.

Walter Van SUIJLEKOM - Renormalization Hopf Algebras and Gauge Theories

We give an overview of the Hopf algebraic approach to renormalization, with a focus on gauge theories. We illustrate this with Kreimer's gauge theory theorem from 2006 and sketch a proof. It relates Hopf ideals generated by Slavnov-Taylor identities to the Hochschild cocycles that are give

Giovanni Landi: The Weil algebra of a Hopf algebra

We generalize the notion, due to H. Cartan, of an operation of a Lie algebra in a graded differential algebra. Firstly, for such an operation we give a natural extension to the universal enveloping algebra of the Lie algebra and analyze all of its properties. Building on this we define the

Lie groups: Baker Campbell Hausdorff formula

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Lie groups. We state the Baker Campbell Hausdorff formula for exp(A)exp(B). As applications we show that a Lie group is determined up to local isomorphism by its Lie algebra, and homomorphisms from a simply connected Lie group are deter
