Characterising algebraic compact quantum groups among Hopf $^*$-algebras
Let $(A, \Delta)$ be a Hopf $^*$-algebra. Assume that $\{u^\alpha\}_{\alpha \in I}$ is a maximal collection of pairwise inequivalent irreducible unitary corepresentation matrices. I want to show that

What are all the possible indices for the finite depth subfactors?
Jones index theorem (1983) states that the set of all possible (finite) indices of subfactors is exactly $$\mathrm{Ind}=\{ 4 \cos(\pi/n)^2 \ | \ n \ge 3 \} \cup [4, \infty),$$ but if we restrict to ...

Is there a finite depth irreducible subfactor of prime index and not group-subgroup?
Let $N \subset M$ be a finite depth unital inclusion of II$_1$ factors. By Theorem 3.2 in this paper (Bisch, 1994), if the index $|M:N|$ is integer then for any intermediate subfactor $N \subset P \...

Why are relations of degree 3 or less enough in a presentation of the polynomial current Lie algebra g[t]?
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$.
The polynomial current Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}[t] = \mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C} [t]$
has the bracket
$$[xt^r, yt^...

Rings or algebras with many nilpotent elements and efficient computation
Crossposted from quantum.SE
where comment appears to suggest that solving modulo 2 might
be possible.
Searching the web for '"quantum computer" nilpotent'
returns many results, so maybe the ...

Is there an integral simple fusion ring of multiplicity one and Frobenius type? (obvious excepted)
To avoid any confusion, we rewrite the basic definitions for a fusion ring (already written in this post).
A fusion ring is a finite dimensional complex space
$\mathbb{C}\mathcal{B}$ together ...

Pictorial explanation of Dynkin index and quadratic Casimir?
Draw a colored loop. You explained quantum dimension. :-) OK, now you may use trivalent nodes and knot crossings too (with edges colored by irreps). You can now pictorialize 6j symbols, writhe ...

Existence of twisted metaplectic categories
The paper Classification of metaplectic modular categories by Ardonne-Cheng-Rowell-Wang (2016) mentions (in Section 3) the Grothendieck ring for the metaplectic modular categories, i.e. $SO(N)_2$, $N&...

Does there exist a nontrivial triangular weak Hopf algebra?
Quasitriangular weak Hopf algebras (QWHAs) are defined in Nikshych-Turaev-Vainerman (2000): A QWHA is a pair
($H,\mathcal{R}$) where $H$ is a WHA and
$\mathcal{R} \in \Delta^{op}(1)(H\otimes H)\Delta(...

On the set of indices of irreducible depth 3 subfactors
Let $I_n$ be the set of indices of (finite index) irreducible depth $n$ subfactors. Then $I_2 = \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$.
Question 1: Is it true that $I_3$ has no accumulation point?
If so:
