Abstract:

AbstractWe show that if$A$and$H$are Hopf algebras that have equivalent tensor categories of comodules, then one can transport what we call a free Yetter–Drinfeld resolution of the counit of$A$to the same kind of resolution for the counit of$H$, exhibiting in this way strong links between the Hochschild homologies of$A$and$H$. This enables us to obtain a finite free resolution of the counit of$\mathcal {B}(E)$, the Hopf algebra of the bilinear form associated with an invertible matrix$E$, generalizing an earlier construction of Collins, Härtel and Thom in the orthogonal case$E=I_n$. It follows

Let H be a compact quantum group with faithful Haar measure and bounded counit. If α is an action of H on a C*- algebra A, we show that A is nuclear if and only if the fixed-point subalgebra Aα is nuclear. As a consequence H is a nuclear C*-algebra.

Abstract:

This paper considers a generalisation of the idea of a Hopf algebra in which a commutative ring replaces the field in the unit and counit. It is motivated by an example from the inverse scattering formalism for solitons. We begin with the corresponding idea for groups, where the concept of the identity is altered.

Abstract:

AbstractInterpreting η-conversion as an expansion rule in the simply-typed λ-calculus maintains the confluence of reduction in a richer type structure. This use of expansions is supported by categorical models of reduction, where β-contraction, as the local counit, and η-expansion, as the local unit, are linked by local triangle laws. The latter form reduction loops, but strong normalization (to the long βη-normal forms) can be recovered by ‘cutting’ the loops.

Abstract:

Bi-Frobenius algebras are a class of Frobenius algebras and Frobenius coalgebras with some compatible conditions. In this paper, we construct a class of bi-Frobenius algebras generated by n elements on graded algebra A. The comultiplication and counit are defined via a permutation π on A, such that A becomes a bi-Frobenius algebra. For any n, these bi-Frobenius algebras are neither Hopf algebras nor S-type bi-Frobenius algebras.

We propose and study an appropriate analog of normal Lie subgroups in the supergeometrical context. We prove that the ringed space obtained taking the quotient of a Lie supergroup by a normal Lie subsupergroup, is still a Lie supergroup. We show how one can construct Lie supergroup structures over topologically nontrivial Lie groups and how the previous property of normal Lie subsupergroups can be used, in order to explicitly obtain the coproduct, counit, and antipode of these structures. We illustrate the general theory by carrying out the previous constructions over the circle, which leads t

Abstract:

This paper proves that the q-model structures of Moore flows and of multipointed d-spaces are Quillen equivalent. The main step is the proof that the counit and unit maps of the Quillen adjunction are isomorphisms on the q-cofibrant objects (all objects are q-fibrant). As an application, we provide a new proof of the fact that the categorization functor from multipointed d-spaces to flows has a total left derived functor which induces a category equivalence between the homotopy categories. The new proof sheds light on the internal structure of the categorization functor which is neither a left

We give a full classification of convolution semigroups of completely positive mappings on Hopf algebras. Using the theory of noncommutative Lévy processes, we prove that these convolution semigroups are solutions of Hudson–Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equations. The generating process satisfies a positivity condition on the kernel of the counit which is stronger than complete positivity. It majorizes its bracket process which is the noncommutative process given by the quadratic variation. Our work generalizes and improves parts of the theory of M. Fannes and J. Quaegebeur on

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to establish some basic points in the model theory of comodules over a coalgebra. It is not even immediately apparent that there is a model theory of comodules since these are not structures in the usual sense of model theory. Let us give the definitions right away so that the reader can see what we mean.Fix a field k. A k-coalgebra C is a k-vector space equipped with a k-linear map Δ: C → C ⊗ C, called the comultiplication (by ⊗ we always mean tensor product over k), and a k-linear map ε: C → k, called the counit, such that Δ⊗1C = 1C ⊗ Δ (coassociativity) and (1C

The pursuit of the vocative entails giving prominence to prosodic or paralinguistic features of language, and to the situation of speech, an

Although mimetic processes play an important role in the aesthetic experiences of art, literature, music, and theatre, they are also important in other areas. Mimetic processes are central to how human beings develop into humans. Plato and Aristotle were among the first to point this out. More recently, this ancient insight has been confirmed by research in evolutionary anthropology, neuroscience, and cultural anthropology. Cultural learning is essentially mimetic learning. It ensues through relationships with other people, as well as with nature, cultural objects, and artifacts. Hence, mimesi

Abstract:

In the Poetics Aristotle limited the concept of mimesis to the aesthetic relationship between drama and the actions of its mythical models. In the 1970s, having found representations of mimetic relationships in the myths themselves, René Girard argued that they are the cause of a violence that disrupts the mythical communities from within. Later, Girard extended the concept of mimesis to natural processes: By destroying the differences between model and imitation mimetic processes in nature and in the social world unleash violence. In this essay two important examples of dedifferentiation are

Abstract:

This article discusses the financial turmoil unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. It argues that the market mayhem in which prices plummeted cannot be fully explained by real-economic factors such as uncertainty about the future global economy. Instead, I suggest analysing the events as a manifestation of financial contagion in which the mimesis of market participants becomes an independent explanatory force. In making this argument, the article returns to late nineteenth-century ideas about mimesis and social contagion as well as discussions about the collective mimesis – constit

Abstract:

What is the relationship between mimesis, biology and identity? I propose to explore this question here by turning to Alex Garland’s 2018 SF film Annihilation. Not least because it is identity that is eponymously annihilated in the film via what could be described as biomimetic processes. At stake in Garland’s film is an infinitely refracting mimetic process of genetic mutations and exchanges resulting in a fundamental alteration of human identity. When faced with ‘the Shimmer’ – the alien life-form causing mysterious transformations in what is called ‘Area X’ – the film’s protagonists are for

Abstract:

This essay revisits a debate about literary fiction’s ability to depict the consequences of climate change. Philosopher McKenzie Wark’s 2017 essay, ‘On the Obsolescence of the Bourgeois Novel in the Anthropocene’, offers one of many critiques of climate fiction, such as Amitav Ghosh’s influential book, The Great Derangement. But while Ghosh sees a shortcoming in contemporary novels in their lack of representation of major climate events, Wark emphasises the importance of collective action, conversation, and connection, beyond the limits of literature. Since Wark’s intervention, the global Scho

Abstract:

In light of the paradigm shift which in Theatre Studies led to the emergence of a new (post)discipline that takes the notion of performance as its cornerstone, this essay discusses the productive convergence between mimesis and ‘restored behaviour’, namely the key process of every kind of performance in art, ritual, and ordinary life. This convergence can improve the understanding of the mimetic condition in the twenty-first century, provided we rely on a postmodern and, at the same time, pre-Platonic conception of mimesis. Even though ‘restored behaviour’ is not the same as mimesis, evidence

Abstract:

This article develops a genealogical account of the birth of homo mimeticus – out of mimetic communication. While genealogy tends to be suspicious of stable origins, a key advocate of the genealogical method such as Friedrich Nietzsche was deeply interested in diagnosing the evolution of non-verbal forms of ‘communication’ that, in his view, gave birth to language, consciousness, and culture. For the Nietzschean mimetic theory this article proposes, mimesis is thus not simply an image far removed from reality but an all too human, embodied, and relational form of communication that makes Homo
