Abstract

Given a compact semisimple Lie group GG of rank rr, and a parameter q>0q>0, we can define new associativity morphisms in Rep(Gq) using a 3-cocycle Φ\Phi on the dual of the center of G, thus getting a new tensor category Rep(Gq)Φ^\Phi. For a class of cocycles Φ\Phi we construct compact quantum groups GqτG^\tau_q with representation categories Rep(Gq)Φ^\Phi. The construction depends on the choice of an r-tuple τ\tau of elements in the center of G. In the simplest case of G=SU(2) and τ=1\tau=-1, our construction produces Woronowicz's quantum group SU_{-q}(2) out of SUq(2). More generally, for G=SU(n), we get quantum group realizations of the Kazhdan-Wenzl categories.
