Title: Twisting Manin's universal quantum groups and comodule algebras
Abstract: Symmetry is an important concept that appears in mathematics and theoretical physics. While classical symmetries arise from group actions on polynomial rings, quantum symmetries are introduced to understand certain quantum objects (e.g., quantum groups) which appear in the theory of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. In this talk, we will define Manin's universal quantum groups and its 2-cocycle twist. Moreover, we will talk about the invariants under the tensor equivalence of quantum symmetries.
