Abstract: We study representations of the mapping class group of the punctured torus on the double of a finite dimensional possibly non-semisimple Hopf algebra that arise in the construction of universal, extended topological field theories. We discuss how for doubles the degeneracy problem of TQFT's is circumvented. We find compact formulae for the ${calS}^{pm1}$-matrices using the canonical, non degenerate forms of Hopf algebras and the bicrossed structure of doubles rather than monodromy matrices. A rigorous proof of the modular relations and the computation of the projective phases is supplied using Radford's relations between the canonical forms and the moduli of integrals. We analyze the projective $SL(2,Z)$-action on the center of $U_q(s{l}_2)$ for $q$ an $l=2m+1$-st root of unity. It appears that the $3m+1$-dimensional representation decomposes into an $m+1$-dimensional finite representation and a $2m$-dimensional, irreducible representation. The latter is the tensor product of the two dimensional, standard representation of $SL(2,Z)$ and the finite, $m$-dimensional representation, obtained from the truncated TQFT of the semisimplified representation category of $U_q(s{l}_2),$.

Review text

The author gives a short survey of counterparting the heuristic quantum field theory by mathematically rigorous constructions by applying quasitriangular Hopf algebras, or quantum groups, to replace the field theoretical machinery. An extended topological quantum field theory (TQFT) assigns to every surface \(S\) a category \({\mathcal C}_S\) and a functor \(\Phi_S:\text{Cob}_S\to{\mathcal C}_S\) [see \textit{M. Atiyah}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Etud. Sci. 68, 175-186 (1988; Zbl 0692.53053)]. The author defines and studies the action of operators generating the mapping class group \({\mathcal D}:=\pi_0(\text{Diff}(T,D))\) on the double \(D({\mathcal A})\) of a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra. He uses the results for a rigorous proof of the modular relationships and determines the protective phase of the universal TQFT as \(\nu^{-3}\). The structure of the representation of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\) on the center of \(D(B_q)\) [see \textit{V. Turaev}: Quantum Invariants of 3-Manifolds. (Publ. Inst. Rech. Math. Avancée, Strasbourg, Preprint: ISSN 0755-3390)] is considered by restricting the action on mapping class groups. The author expects to find higher dimensional algebraic representations of \(\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\) while starting from higher-rank quantum groups for which the orders of nilpotencies of central elements will be higher.
