Hom-Maltsev(-admissible) algebras are defined, and it is shown that
Hom-alternative algebras are Hom-Maltsev-admissible. With a new definition of a
Hom-Jordan algebra, it is shown that Hom-alternative algebras are
Hom-Jordan-admissible. Hom-type generalizations of some well-known identities
in alternative algebras, including the Moufang identities, are obtained.
We study the Hom-type generalization of infinitesimal bialgebras, called
infinitesimal Hom-bialgebras. In particular, we consider infinitesimal
Hom-bialgebras arising from quivers, the sub-classes of coboundary and
quasi-triangular infinitesimal Hom-bialgebras, the associative Hom-Yang-Baxter
equation, and homological perturbation of the comultiplications in
infinitesimal Hom-bialgebras. The relationships between infinitesimal
Hom-bialgebras, Hom-Lie bialgebras, and the classical Hom-Yang-Baxter equation
are also studied.
We study Hom-quantum groups, their representations, and module Hom-algebras.
Two Twisting Principles for Hom-type algebras are formulated, and construction
results are proved following these Twisting Principles. Examples include
Hom-quantum n-spaces, Hom-quantum enveloping algebras of Kac-Moody algebras,
Hom-Verma modules, and Hom-type analogs of U_q(sl_2)-module-algebra structures
on the quantum planes.
Over a monoidal model category, under some mild assumptions, we equip the
categories of colored PROPs and their algebras with projective model category
structures. A Boardman-Vogt style homotopy invariance result about algebras
over cofibrant colored PROPs is proved. As an example, we define homotopy
topological conformal field theories and observe that such structures are
homotopy invariant.

We study a twisted generalization of Novikov algebras, called Hom-Novikov
algebras, in which the two defining identities are twisted by a linear map. It
is shown that Hom-Novikov algebras can be obtained from Novikov algebras by
twisting along any algebra endomorphism. All algebra endomorphisms on complex
Novikov algebras of dimensions two or three are computed, and their associated
Hom-Novikov algebras are described explicitly.
