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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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
$$

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.

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
$$
{\cal O}_p(SL(n)) \simeq {\cal O}_q(SL(n)).
$$

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 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 ...

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 ...
