The bicrossed product is supposed to emulate a topological decomposition of a group, so this means that topologically $SL_q(2,\mathbb{C})$ is a product of a compact quantum space and a discrete quantum space. I find this strange, since we are q-deforming a connected Lie group here. I'm looking for some kind of understanding of this phenomenon. | |
