Abstract

Let VV be a finite-dimensional unitary representation of a compact quantum group G\mathrm{G} and denote by GW\mathrm{G}_W the isotropy subgroup of a linear subspace WVW\le V regarded as a point in the Grassmannian G(V)\mathbb{G}(V). We show that the space of those WG(V)W\in \mathbb{G}(V) for which GW\mathrm{G}_W acts trivially on WW (or VV) is open in the Zariski topology of the Weil restriction ResC/RG(V)\mathrm{Res}_{\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{R}}\mathbb{G}(V). More generally, this holds for the space of WW for which (a) the GW\mathrm{G}_W-action factors through its abelianization, or (b) the summands of the GW\mathrm{G}_W-representation on WW (or VV) are otherwise dimensionally constrained. The results generalize analogous classical generic rigidity statements useful in establishing the triviality of the classical automorphism groups of random quantum graphs in the matrix algebra MnM_n, and can be put to similar use in fully non-commutative versions of those results (quantum graphs, quantum groups).
