The classical identities between the q-binomial coefficients and factorials can be generalized to a context in which numbers are replaced by braids. More precisely, for every pair i, n of natural numbers, there is defined an element b Ε½ n. of the braid i group algebra kB , and these satisfy analogs

We compute the quantum double, braiding, and other canonical Hopf algebra constructions for the bicrossproduct Hopf algebra H associated to the factorization of a finite group X into two subgroups. The representations of the quantum double are described by a notion of bicrossed bimodules, generalising the cross modules of Whitehead. We also show that basis-preserving self-duality structures for the bicrossproduct Hopf algebras are in oneαone correspondence with factorreversing group isomorphisms. The example β«ήβ¬ β«ήβ¬ is given in detail. We show 6 6

A spectral set is a subset 0 of R n with Lebesgue measure 0<+(0)< such that there exists a set 4 of exponential functions which form an orthogonal basis of L 2 (0). The spectral set conjecture of B. Fuglede states that a set 0 is a spectral set if and only if 0 tiles R n by translation. We study set
The classical solution of the RiemannαHilbert problem attaches to a given representation of the fundamental group a regular singular linear differential equation. We present a method to compute this differential equation in the case of a representation with finite image. The approach uses Galois cov
