What is...quantum algebra?

[@Juniper-111]

Amazing timing because I'm currently reading Chelsea Walton's new book "Symmetries of Algebas" which is geared towards expositing the fundamentals of quantum algebras! tysm for describing the history of the subject

And with string diagrams included, hurray 😚 I hope you will enjoy the study of "quantum stuff" 😀

"I'm not going to talk about what a quantum group is" - literally the only thing that I'm interested in.

Student: "I studied all the finite simple groups, and am awed by their complexity. Please tell me, what about infinite groups?" Master: "Oh, like (Z, +)" Student: "WHAT!? BUT THAT'S THE SIMPLEST THING!" Master: "Is it?" #RM3

[@VisualMath]

Well, the answer what a quantum group is depends on who you ask 😅

That was weird. I didn't understand any of it, but still found it vaguely interesting! :-)

[@VisualMath]

Agreed, it is weird in a good sense 😅

[@tomholroyd7519]

People love binary logic, nowadays. It's great for high-speed computing. The world literally runs on that now. Traffic lights go Green Yellow Red for a reason though. #RM3 #logic #notbinary

[@VisualMath]

Do they? 🤔 Well, I do not know but my shirt is a bit dirty: neither 100% nor completely clean, just a bit 🤣 Even better: #nonbinary

Can you do a video abou the AGT correspondence and the duality between equivariant cohomology of the instanton moduli space and affine W-algebras?

[@VisualMath]

Hmm, that is a difficult topic, but I can see what I can do :-)
