Invariant weights associated to algebraic quantum groups

Consider an algebraic quantum group $(A, \Delta)$ in the sense of Van Daele, i.e. a regular multiplier Hopf $^*$-algebra with a positive left integral $\varphi$ and a positive right integral $\psi$. ...

Tensor product of operator values weights (in the theory of locally compact quantum groups)

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra and $\psi$ a normal faithful semifinite weight on $M$. Then one should be able to form the object $$\iota \otimes \psi: (M\overline{\otimes} M)_+ \to \widehat{M_+}.$$ ...

Decomposition of an element as a difference of positive elements in the definition subalgebra of a weight (Takesaki)

I originally asked this on MSE, but did not get an answer there. Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra. Let $\varphi: M_+ \to [0, \infty]$ be a weight on $M$. Consider \begin{align*}&\mathfrak{p}_\...
