Hall Algebras and Tensor Categories
This collection connects counting and geometric constructions of algebras with tensor categories and their representations. Seven draft theory/example pairs distinguish finitary Ringel–Hall multiplication, Green's compatibility and quantum-group realizations, derived Hall constructions, representations and geometric actions, motivic integration, cohomological Hall correspondences, and stability with Donaldson–Thomas and BPS wall crossing. These constructions have different inputs, coefficient systems, finiteness conditions, and completion requirements. They are not interchangeable definitions of one algebra. Representations of the input category must also be distinguished from modules over its Hall algebra.
Four further pairs address tensor categories, noninvertible symmetry and anyonic chains, modular data and topological field theory, higher categorical defects, and Frobenius sewing in dimension two. Existing categorical traces, braidings, Hopf structures, and Frobenius foundations retain their canonical homes. Any unresolved supplier repair remains a hold before a proposed consumer can use it; a physics interpretation supplies context rather than a mathematical premise.
Readers need the relevant existing group, module, homological, quantum-group, and monoidal-category foundations. The pages give separate reading routes rather than assume that familiarity with one branch supplies every prerequisite of another. All eleven pairs remain draft prose scaffolds. Full local proofs and explicit diagram equations must be supplied before their proposed results can enter an accepted dependency chain.
