The versatility of the Drinfeld double of a finite group

arXiv:2410.11978

Abstract

In this survey we review different instances in which the Drinfeld double of a finite group and its representations play a role, touching upon some of Tom Koornwinder's research interests: harmonic analysis, Lie algebras, quantum groups, non-commutative geometry, and Verlinde formula.

Dedicated to Tom Koornwinder, on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Refereed version, minor changes, two references added
