Research on the representation theory of quantum groups, algebraic structures that resemble groups.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring quantum groups, algebraic structures resembling groups
Prof. Hayashi studies quantum groups and their representation theory.
A quantum group is not a group, but if you look at it with a generous mind, it is an algebraic structure that is not entirely unlike a group.
Quantum groups are deeply connected with many areas of mathematics, including mathematical physics, low-dimensional topology, combinatorics, and operator algebras.
In recent years, Prof. Hayashi has been generalizing quantum groups further and exploring new connections with the representation theory of classical groups.
Key terms
- Quantum group
- An algebraic structure that is not a group but is not entirely unlike one. It is also related to fields such as mathematical physics and low-dimensional topology
- Representation theory
- A field that studies groups and algebras by representing them concretely as matrices or as transformations of vector spaces
- Tensor category
- A category equipped with a tensor product (a way of combining objects with each other)
ResearchResearch themes
Quantum groups and their representation theory are at the center of the lab's research. The aim is to generalize quantum groups further and obtain new connections with the representation theory of classical groups.
