Why Drinfel'd-Jimbo-type quantum groups?

Hopf algebras are pretty easy to motivate, as a not-necessarily-commutative generalization of the ring of functions on an algebraic group (and there are many other ways in which they come up). I like ...

Is every finite quantum group a quantum symmetry group?

This post is basically a quantum extension of Is every finite group a group of “symmetries”? Here finite quantum group means finite dimensional Hopf ${\rm C}^{\star}$-algebra. Frucht's theorem ...

Hopf algebras arising as Group Algebras

Every commutative $C^*$-algebra is isomorphic to the set of continuous functions, that vanish at infinity, of a locally compact Hausdorff space. Every commutative finite dimensional Hopf algebra is ...

Generators of the Odd Dimensional Quantum Spheres

As is well-known, the $(2N-1)$-quantum sphere $S^{2N-1}_q$ is defined to be the invariant subalgebra of $SU_q(N)$ under the coaction $\Delta_R = (id \otimes \pi) \circ \Delta$, where $\Delta$ is the ...

Hopf Galois extensions and conditional expectations for C* algebras

Suppose that $H$ is a Hopf algebra with normalised invariant integral (appropriate side) $\int:H\to \mathbb{C}$. The $H$ right comodule algebra $P$ is a Hopf Galois extension, so the canonical map $P\...

Invertible elements of the Hopf algebra quantum $SU(2)$

Let $SU_q(2)$ be the (polynomial) Hopf algebra introduced by Woronocicz called the quantum special unitary group. For details see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_quantum_group (Note that on the ...

The Quantum Group ${\cal O}_q(SL(n))$, for $q>1$

For the quantum group ${\cal O}_q(SL(n))$, $q\in \mathbb{R}$, I have read, without a proof, that for $p>1$, there exists a $q\in (0,1)$ such that $$ {\cal O}_p(SL(n)) \simeq {\cal O}_q(SL(n)). $$ ...

Quantum Hilbert's fifth problem

Hilbert's fifth problem inquires whether every locally Euclidean group is necessarily a Lie group. Von Neumann demonstrated that this is indeed true for the compact case. The definition of a quantum ...

What is a quantum analogue of the fact that the second fundamental group of every Lie group is trivial?

What is an appropriate version of the following fact in terms of Hopf algebras and quantum groups: "For every connected Lie group $G$ the second fundamental group $\pi_2(G)$ is trivial?" Is there ...

Hopf "algebroid" structure of a groupoid convolution algebra?

This question is already posted in math.stackexchange, but didn't receive any answer. I'm not sure if this question fits in here, but surely someone in here can guide me to the correct answer. To make ...

Reduced compact quantum group and left and right multiplication

Let $(A,\Delta)$ be a compact quantum group in the sense of Woronowicz, and let $A_0$ be its dense Hopf subalgebra. We can construct from the Haar state $h:A \to \mathbb{C}$ an inner product $$ \...

Finding the Universal Ideal of a (Covariant) Differential Calculus

Let $(\Omega,d)$ be a differential calculus over an algebra $A$. It is easy to show that $\Omega$ is always equal to a quotient of $\Omega_u(A)$, the universal calculus over $A$, by some ideal $N$ of $...

Integrals in noncommutative graded algebras which are not necessarily Hopf

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field. Let $A$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}$-graded $\mathbf{k}$-algebra such that $A^0=\mathbf{k}1$. Let $m$ be the maximal non-negative integer such that $A^m\...

Relative version of Hopf cyclic cohomology

In this paper Connes and Moscovici introduced the Hopf algebra of transverse differential operators in order to compute the index formula for the diffeomorphism invariant geometry. They developed the ...
