Abstract

A locally compact group GG is amenable if and only if it has Reiter's property (Pp)(P_p) for p=1p=1 or, equivalently, all p[1,)p \in [1,\infty), i.e., there is a net (mα)α(m_\alpha)_\alpha of non-negative norm one functions in Lp(G)L^p(G) such that limαsupxKLx1mαmαp=0\lim_\alpha \sup_{x \in K} \| L_{x^{-1}} m_\alpha - m_\alpha \|_p = 0 for each compact subset KGK \subset G (Lx1mαL_{x^{-1}} m_\alpha stands for the left translate of mαm_\alpha by x1x^{-1}). We extend the definitions of properties (P1)(P_1) and (P2)(P_2) from locally compact groups to locally compact quantum groups in the sense of J. Kustermans and S. Vaes. We show that a locally compact quantum group has (P1)(P_1) if and only if it is amenable and that it has (P2)(P_2) if and only if its dual quantum group is co-amenable. As a consequence, (P2)(P_2) implies (P1)(P_1).
