Are all enveloping algebras $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})$ locally compact quantum groups?

Let us consider the enveloping algebra $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})$ of some Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Under what assumptions about $\mathfrak{g}$, does the enveloping algebra generate a locally ...

Affiliating the whole algebra of 'coordinates' with a locally compact quantum group

When constructing a quantum deformation of a classical (matrix) locally compact group, we usually start with the *-Hopf algebra $A$ of matrix entries/coordinates. We then deform this algebra ($A_q$) ...

Proof that every commutative locally compact quantum group arises from a locally compact group

It is well-known that there is a bijection (up to isomorphisms) between locally compact quantum groups whose algebra is commutative and classical locally compact groups. I seem to cannot find a proof ...

Completely isometric coaction of discrete quantum group is multiplicative?

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact quantum group (in the sense of Woronowicz) with discrete dual $\widehat{\mathbb{G}}$ which we view as a von Neumann algebraic locally compact quantum group (in the sense ...

Is the comultiplication of a compact quantum group always injective?

Let $(A, \Delta)$ be a compact quantum group in the sense of Woronowicz. Is it true that the comultiplication $\Delta : A \to A \otimes A$ always injective? This is true for both the universal (...

Norm of contragredient of unitary representations of compact quantum groups

Maybe the answer to the following question is known but I am unable to find it in the literature. Anyway, let me begin my question by fixing some notations and terms. Let $G = (A, \Delta)$ be a ...

Finite compact quantum groups

Let $(A, \Delta)$ be a $C^*$-algebraic compact quantum group (in the sense of Woronowicz). It is called finite if $A$ is a finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebra. By elementary $C^*$-algebra theory, we ...

What are the applications of the depth 2 reduction to the subfactors theory?

Let $(N \subset M)$ be an irreducible finite depth ($>2$) finite index unital inclusion of hyperfinite ${\rm II}_1$ factors, then for $n$ sufficiently large the subfactor $(N \subset M_n)$ is depth ...

Definition intertwiner of representations of compact quantum groups

Before asking my question, let me introduce the relevant terminology. Throughout, let $(A, \Delta)$ be a compact quantum group. Definition: A representation $v$ on the Hilbert space $H$ is an element $...

Zero divisors in compact quantum groups

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be compact quantum group in the sense of S. L. Woronowicz. As is well-known, every compact quantum group contains a dense Hopf algebra, called the polynomial Hopf algebra Pol$(\...

Separability of compact quantum groups

In the theory of compact quantum groups due Woronowicz, we assume usually that the C*-algebra of the compact quantum group is separable. Is the assumption essential in the theory? Will it eventually ...

Number of Isomorphism Classes of Corepresentations of A Compact Quantum Group

Given a compact quantum group $(G,\Delta)$, with dense Hopf algebra $H$, is it always true that, up to isomorphism, $H$ will have a countable number of irreducible comodules?

Reference request quantum SU(3)

Woronowicz shows that the C*-algebras of quantum $SU(2)$ are isomorphic (only as C*-algebras, forgetting the quantum group structure). Are there similar results for quantum $SU(n)$ for $n \geq 3$?

The convolution on a semisimple finite quantum groupoid

example of a compact quantum group at a root of unity?

In Woronowicz's theory of compact quantum groups, the most well-known example is $SU_q(2)$, for $q$ a real number. Moreover, all the other examples of compact quantum groups, based some Drinfeld--...

Compact Quantum Groups from Hopf Algebras

For a compact quantum group $C_q[G]$, it was shown by Woronowicz that $C_q[G]$ contains a dense Hopf algebra generalising the algebra of representations of $G$. I am interested in the other way around,...
