Cohomology for quantum groups

I'm interested in quantum groups for two perspectives: Compact quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz. Deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra in the sense of Drinfeld &...

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 ...

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 ...

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 (...

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 ...

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 $n \geq 3$?

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 ...

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,...
