Quantum Algebra and Representation Theory

28 pages in 5 levels

This collection studies algebras through their modules, tensor constructions, and explicit presentations, with three connected branches. The Clifford branch begins with a tensor-algebra quotient and a fixed quadratic-form convention, then proposes basis, classification, graded-product, and Pin and Spin module results. Its comparison with canonical anticommutation relations distinguishes finite algebraic constructions from analytic completions. Spin geometry and real K-theory applications retain their homes in Differential Geometry and Algebraic Topology.

The diagram branch starts with Temperley–Lieb diagrams and a Catalan basis before cellular modules, semisimplicity, specialization, Jones–Wenzl elements, and quotient traces. Brauer, BMW, and partition algebras provide related centralizer problems. A diagram's composition and evaluation must be algebraically defined, and generic, root-of-unity, and positive-characteristic statements have separate contracts. The current and vertex branch connects affine currents and Virasoro operators to state-field identities and module theories, distinguishing rational from logarithmic regimes.

Readers enter through Abstract Algebra, Lie Theory, Representation Theory, and the existing monoidal and Hopf–Hecke foundations. Those categories keep their canonical suppliers; this category supplies proposed extensions and comparison routes. All fourteen theory/example pairs remain draft prose scaffolds with empty item lists. Source evidence, conventions, prerequisite holds, and unfinished local proofs are recorded in the linked track.
