β¦ Synopsis
We construct an abelian category and exact functors in which on the Grothendieck group descend to the action of a simply laced quantum group in its adjoint representation. The braid group action in the adjoint representation lifts to an action in the derived category of . The category is the direct sum of a semisimple category and the category of modules over a certain algebra associated with a Dynkin diagram. In the second half of the paper we show how these algebras appear in the modular representation theory and in the McKay correspondence and explore their relationship with root systems  2001 Elsevier Science

For a finite dimensional semisimple cosemisimple Hopf algebra A and its dual Hopf algebra B, we set up a natural one-to-one correspondence between categories with actions of the monoidal categories of representations of A and of B. This gives a categorical interpretation of the duality for actions o
QCD 2 with fermions in the adjoint representation is invariant under SU(N )ΓZ N and thereby is endowed with a nontrivial vacuum structure (k-sectors). The static potential between adjoint charges, in the limit of infinite mass, can be therefore obtained by computing Wilson loops in the pure Yang Mil
