Classical (i.e. commutative) spaces with quantum symmetry but no classical symmetry

In a recent preprint (arXiv:2311.04889), my coauthors and I constructed a sequence of graphs with no classical symmetry which nevertheless have quantum symmetry. For graphs this had been an open ...

Nontrivial examples of locally compact quantum groups

What are some families of locally compact quantum groups that are neither groups, duals of groups, compact, nor discrete?

States "absorbed" by a Haar idempotent on a compact quantum group

Firstly, a small question of nomenclature. If $(S,\bullet)$ is a magma, is there good terminology to relate $a$ to $b$ when $$a\bullet b=b=b\bullet a?$$ Can we say that $b$ absorbs $a$? Can we say ...

Action of a group $G$ induces a coaction on $C_0(G)$

In this question, I follow the book "An invitation to quantum groups and duality" by Timmerman, p259. Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $C$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Assume an action $$\alpha:...

Tensor product of representations on a compact quantum group

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a $C^*$-algebraic compact quantum group (in the sense of Woronowicz) with function algebra $(C(\mathbb{G}), \Delta)$. Let $X \in M(B_0(H)\otimes C(\mathbb{G}))$ and $Y \in M(B_0(K)\...

Kernel of intertwiner is invariant (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 $...

Showing a product on a character space is continuous

Quoting from Timmermann's An invitation to quantum groups and duality: Prop. 5.1.3 Let $A$ be a commutative algebra of functions on a compact quantum group. Then there exists a compact group $G$ and ...

Invariance of Finite Dimensional Woronowicz $\mathrm{C}^*$-ideals under the Antipode

Let $(A,\Delta)=:F(G)$ be a finite dimensional $\mathrm{C}^*$-Hopf algebra, and so the algebra of functions on a quantum group $G$. Let $J$ be a closed ideal in $F(G)$ and $\pi:F(G)\rightarrow F(G)/J$...

almost magic unitary

A magic unitary is a unitary matrix $u=(p_{ij})_{ij}$ whose entries are all projections (in some Hilbert space) and in each row they sum to the identity and same holds for each column $(\sum_i p_{ij}=...

Quantum group representations from (convolution) matrix units?

Let $A=F(\mathbb{G})$ be the algebra of functions on a finite quantum group with a Haar state $$h=:\int_\mathbb{G}:F(\mathbb{G})\rightarrow \mathbb{C}.$$ There is a convolution product on $A=F(\...

Quantum Groups and quantum spaces - From algebra to Analysis

My question will be about the non-standard quantum projective space $\mathcal{A}_q(\mathbb{CP}^n(c,d))$ introduced by Dijkhuizen and Noumi. I want to see this algebra now on a von Neumann algebraic ...

Verifying Woronowicz’s proof that all $ {\text{SU}_{q}}(2) $’s are isomorphic as $ C^{*} $-algebras, where $ -1 < q < 1 $

This question is related to one that I asked some time ago. Definition 1. Let $ q \in (-1,1) $. Let $ A $ be a unital $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ (x,y) $ a pair of elements of $ A $. Then define the $ ...

Why $A^*A =A$ implies that $A$ is a C$^*$ algebra (Proposition 5.2.8 of An Invitation to Quantum Groups and Duality by Thomas Timmermann)

I am reading "An Invitation to Quantum Groups and Duality From Hopf Algebras to Multiplicative Unitaries and Beyond" by Thomas Timmermann. In the proposition 5.2.8 (page 117) the author provide a ...

A question on an argument in Woronowicz’s paper on the compact quantum group $ {\text{SU}_{q}}(2) $

Let $ q \in [0,1) $. The compact quantum group $ {\text{SU}_{q}}(2) $ is defined to be the universal unital $ C^{*} $-algebra that is generated by two elements $ \alpha $ and $ \beta $ satisfying the ...

'Test Functions' to Lower Bound the Norm of Elements of Dual Quantum Group

There may well be an answer to this question in a simpler category than that of finite dimensional quantum groups and in that case this question is more suitable to math.stack and I apologise in ...

Compact Quantum Groups and the Existence of the Classical Haar Measure

Before I state my question, let me provide the definition of a compact quantum group. Definition: An ordered pair $ \mathscr{G} = (\mathscr{A},\Phi) $ is called a compact quantum group if $ ...

Fourier transform on locally compact quantum groups

I have read some articles on locally compact quantum groups and the Fourier Transform on them. I wonder why we define the Fourier transform as an operator valued functions from $L^1(\mathbb{G})$ to $L^...
