Jan 7, 2010 at 1:01 comment added Daniel Moskovich I will promote the tag "quantum topology" as being superior in this context to "quantum algebra", for reasons which you mentioned. Vassiliev invariants are not quantum algebra (although for knots, quantum invariants and Vassiliev invariants basically coincide), but they are quantum topology!

Jan 6, 2010 at 22:54 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd And, per Ilya N's suggestion, a title that's more in line with the question at the end (I originally titled it before writing the whole question, and forgot to go back and change the title, sorry).

Jan 6, 2010 at 20:19 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd Ilya's totally right. Perhaps I'll also break up the main question, but that will have to wait a few hours.

more fixes
Jan 6, 2010 at 20:07 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd @Ilya: Perhaps, although it's almost entirely expository. I don't really think that I'll get an answer, but there's some chance that there's a paper out there that I haven't come across which get's much closer to a description of each of these objects. But, ok, I'll make the warm-up question a different question.

Jan 6, 2010 at 20:01 comment added Theo Johnson-Freyd I like that I can tag this "qa.quantum-algebra" even though every Hopf algebra in sight is commutative and cocommutative.
