In this paper we develop a theory for constructing an invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds, given a certain type of Hopf algebra. Examples are given by a quantised enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra, or by a semisimple involutory Hopf algebra. The invariant is defined by a state sum model on a triangulation. In some cases, the invariant is the partition function of a topological quantum field theory.

  1. Chiral Tube Algebras I: Topological Defect Lines, Twisted Modules, and Finite Gauging

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Chiral tube algebras unify chiral algebras and TDLs by acting on twisted defect spaces via local and non-local currents, with modules isomorphic to twisted modules of the parent algebras.

  2. Topological lattice gauge theory enriched by non-invertible symmetry

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Condensing an arbitrary algebra of charges in a quantum double model yields a hypergroup-graded extension of the deconfined excitations category whose domain walls act non-invertibly via a Hopf monad.

    An algebraic method using the path algebra of quivers extracts symmetry anomaly data for 5D SCFTs engineered from M-theory on Calabi-Yau cones.

  8. ASEP/DSSYK duality and strange correlator

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0
