Abstract: Lyubashenko's construction associates representations of mapping class groups Map_{g,n} of Riemann surfaces of any genus g with any number n of holes to a factorizable ribbon category. We consider this construction as applied to the category of bimodules over a finite-dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra H. For any such Hopf algebra we find an invariant of Map_{g,n} for all values of g and n. More generally, we obtain such invariants for any pair (H,omega), where omega is a ribbon automorphism of H. Our results are motivated by the quest to understand correlation functions of bulk fields in two-dimensional conformal field theories with chiral algebras that are not necessarily semisimple, so-called logarithmic conformal field theories.

Review text

In this contribution the authors obtain mapping class group invariants at arbitrary genus. More precisely, given a finite-dimensional factorizable ribbon Hopf algebra (``factorizable means that it is a quasitriangular Hopf algebra whose ``monodromy matrix may be expressed in a particular convenient way, and by ``ribbon is meant that the quasitriangular Hopf algebra comes equipped with a special invertible central elements), it is possible, for all natural numbers \(g\) and \(n\), to define, from the category of bimodules over the Hopf algebra, a representation (or action) of the mapping class group (roughly speaking, a group of orientation-preserving diffeomorphisms) of Riemann surfaces of genus \(g\) with \(n\) holes (i.e., \(n\) open disks excised) on some vector space, together with a morphism that happens to be invariant under the above action.
