On the zeroth L^2-homology of a quantum group

Operator Algebras 2010-10-21 v2 Quantum Algebra

Abstract

We prove that the zeroth L^2-Betti number of a compact quantum group vanishes unless the underlying C*-algebra is finite dimensional and that the zeroth L^2-homology itself is non-trivial exactly when the quantum group is coamenable.
