Cette thèse se propose d'étudier des problèmes de classification des groupes quantiques via des invariants issus de leur théorie de représentation. Plus précisément, nous classifions les algèbres de Hopf possédant un semi-anneau de fusion isomorphe à un groupe algébrique réductif donné G. De tels groupes quantiques sont alors appelés G-déformations. Dans cette thèse, nous étudions les cas GL(2) et SO(3). Nous donnons une classification complète des GL(2)-déformations en construisant une famille d'algèbres de Hopf indexées par des matrices inversibles. Nous décrivons leurs catégories de comodules et donnons certains résultats de classification quant à leurs objets de Hopf-Galois. Ensuite, nous donnons une classification des SO(3)-déformations compactes tout en étudiant le cas non-compact. Finalement, la dernière partie de la thèse est une étude de l'algèbre sous-jacente à une certaine famille d'algèbres de Hopf, dont nous exhibons une base. Cette base nous permet de calculer le centre des ces algèbres ainsi que quelques groupes de (co)homologie.

Nous construisons un inverse explicite à l'isomorphisme d'antisymétrisation de Cartan-Eilenberg qui permet d'identifier la cohomologie d'une algèbre de Lie sur un anneau de caractéristique zéro et la cohomologie de Hochschild de son algèbre universelle enveloppante.

Dans une première partie, on établit des résultats structuraux sur la construction cobar, visant à obtenir un relèvement homotopique explicite d'une structure de BV-algèbre sur la double construction cobar. Ces résultats interviennent à différentes itérations de la construction cobar. En conclusion, nous obtenons par descente de structures, un critère à l'obtention d'une structure de BV-algèbre homotopique (à la Gerstenhaber-Voronov) sur la double construction cobar Ω²C d'une G-cogèbre homotopique C, ceci en terme de co-opérations structurelles de C. Dans une seconde partie, nous appliquons le critère précédent sur la G-cogèbre homotopique C(X), où C(X) est le complexe de chaînes simpliciales sur un ensemble simplicial X. La structure de G-cogèbre homotopique considérée sur C(X) est telle que la double construction cobar Ω²C(X) est un modèle pour les lacets doubles Ω²|X|. Nous donnons ensuite des résultats de comparaisons entre la structure d'algèbre de Batalin-Vilkovisky obtenue sur la double construction cobar Ω²C(X) lorsque X est une double suspension et celle sur l'homologie H(Ω²|X|) induite par l'action diagonale du cercle sur Ω²|X|. Pour finir, lorsque l'anneau des coefficients est Q, nous déformons la structure de dg-algèbre de Hopf sur la construction cobar de Baues ΩC(X) en une structure de dg-algèbre de Hopf involutive (∇, S). On obtient alors une structure de BV-algèbre homotopique sur la double construction cobar Ω(ΩC(X), ∇, S) pour tout ensemble simplicial X.

A abordagem para classificar tais problemas é baseada no processo de redução à forma normal de Birkhoff para estudar a interação de modos Hopf-Pontos de Equilíbrio. O comportamento geométrico das soluções dos desdobramentos das formas normais obtidas é descrito pelos diagramas de bifurcação e estudamos a estabilidade assintótica desses ramos. / In this work we classify the Z2-equivariant corank 2 bifurcation problems up to codimension 3 via Singularity Theory techniques. The approach to classify such problems is based on the Birkhoff normal form to study Hopf-Steady- State mode interaction. The geometrical behavior of the solutions of the unfolding of the normal forms is described by the bifurcation diagrams and we study the asymptotic stability of such branches.

The purpose of this study is to show the difference of behavior of the system when we consider hard springs (positive coefficient of cubical elasticity) or soft springs (negative coefficient of cubical elasticity). For hard spring the stability of the fixed point was analyzed, and by means of the Central Manifolds Theory and the Bezout theorem the existence of the Hopf Bifurcation is shown. For soft spring, it is shown the existence of a heteroclinic orbit connecting two saddle points. Using the classical Melnikov method it is discussed the existence, or not, of the chaotic behavior for some energy level and certain values of the damping coefficient. All the analysis is followed by numerical simulations to confirm the results.

We investigate classically (iso)spinning topological soliton solutions in (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional models; more explicitly isospinning lump solutions in (2+1) dimensions, Skyrme solitons in (2+1) and (3+1) dimensions and Hopf soliton solutions in (3 +1) dimensions. For example, such soliton types can be used to describe quasiparticle excitations in ferromagnetic quantum Hall systems, can model spin and isospin states of nuclei and may be candidates to model glueball configurations in QCD.Unlike previous work, we do not impose any spatial symmetries on the isospinning soliton configurations and we explicitly allow the isospinning solitons to deform and break the symmetries of the static configurations. It turns out that soliton deformations clearly cannot be ignored. Depending on the topological model under investigation they can give rise to new types of instabilities, can result in new solution types which are unstable for vanishing isospin, can rearrange the spectrum of minimal energy solutions and can allow for transitions between different minimal-energy solutions in a given topological sector. Evidently, our numerical results on classically isospinning, arbitrarily deforming solitons are relevant for the quantization of classical soliton solutions.

Dans cette thèse, on s'intéresse à l'existence et à l'unicité d'une solution pour l'équation KPZ généralisée. On utilise la théorie récente des structures de régularité inspirée des chemins rugueux et introduite par Martin Hairer afin de donner sens à ce type d'équations singulières. La procédure de résolution comporte une partie algébrique à travers la définition du groupe de renormalisation et une partie stochastique avec la convergence de processus stochastiques renormalisés. Une des améliorations notoire de ce travail apportée aux structures de régularité est la définition du groupe de renormalisation par le biais d'une algèbre de Hopf sur des arbres labellés. Cette nouvelle construction permet d'obtenir des formules simples pour les processus stochastiques renormalisés. Ensuite, la convergence est obtenue par un traitement efficace de diagrammes de Feynman. / In this thesis, we investigate the existence and the uniqueness of the solution of the generalised KPZ equation. We use the recent theory of regularity structures inspired from the rough path and introduced by Martin Hairer in order to give a meaning to this singular equation. The procedure contains an algebraic part through the renormalisation group and a stochastic part with the computation of renormalised stochastic processes. One major improvement in the theory of the regularity structures is the definition of the renormalisation group using a Hopf algebra on some labelled trees. This new construction paves the way to simple formulas very useful for the renormalised stochastic processes. Then the convergence is obtained by an efficient treatment of some Feynman diagrams.
