We prove that Wang's free orthogonal and free unitary quantum groups are weakly amenable and that their Cowling-Haagerup constant is equal to 1. This is achieved by estimating the completely bounded norm of the projections on the…

We show that (central) Cowling-Haagerup constant of discrete quantum groups is multiplicative, which extends the result of Freslon to general (not necesarilly unimodular) discrete quantum groups. The crucial feature of our approach is…

Weak amenability of discrete groups was introduced by Haagerup and co-authors in the 1980's. It is an approximation property known to be stable under direct products and free products. In this paper we show that graph products of weakly…

We define the notions of weak amenability and the Cowling-Haagerup constant for extremal finite index subfactors of type II_1. We prove that the Cowling-Haagerup constant only depends on the standard invariant of the subfactor. Hence, we…

We prove several results on the permanence of weak amenability and the Haagerup property for discrete quantum groups. In particular, we improve known facts on free products by allowing amalgamation over a finite quantum subgroup. We also…

We show that Property $\mathrm{(TTT)}$ is an obstruction to weak amenability with Cowling--Haagerup constant $1$. More precisely, if $G$ is a countable group and $H$ is an infinite subgroup of $G$ such that the pair $(G,H)$ has relative…

We study weak amenability for locally compact quantum groups in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes. In particular, we focus on non-discrete examples. We prove that a coamenable quantum group is weakly amenable if there exists a net of…

The weak Haagerup property for locally compact groups and the weak Haagerup constant was recently introduced by the second author. The weak Haagerup property is weaker than both weak amenability introduced by Cowling and the first author…

In this paper we prove that: Any graph product of finitely many groups, all of them satisfying weak Haagerup property with $\Lambda_{WH}=1$, also satisfies weak Haagerup property and as a corollary of this result we obtain that the free…

In this paper we consider the class of connected simple Lie groups equipped with the discrete topology. We show that within this class of groups the following approximation properties are equivalent: (1) the Haagerup property; (2) weak…

We study the existence of multiplier (completely) bounded approximate identities for the Fourier algebras of some classes of hypergroups. In particular we show that, a large class of commutative hypergroups are weakly amenable with the…

We show that, if $G$ is an amenable group and $H$ is a hyperbolic group, then the free product $G\ast H$ is weakly amenable. A key ingredient in the proof is the fact that $G\ast H$ is orbit equivalent to $\mathbb{Z}\ast H$.

For a simple graph $\Gamma$ and for unital $C^*$-algebras with GNS-faithful states $(\mathbf{A}_v,\varphi_v)$ for $v\in V\Gamma$, we consider the reduced graph product $(\mathcal{A},\varphi)=*_{v,\Gamma}(\mathbf{A}_{v},\varphi_v)$ , and…

The Haagerup property for locally compact groups is generalised to the context of locally compact quantum groups, with several equivalent characterisations in terms of the unitary representations and positive-definite functions established.…

This is a survey of some aspects of the subject of approximation properties for locally compact quantum groups, based on lectures given at the {\it Topological Quantum Groups} Graduate School, 28 June - 11 July, 2015 in Bed\l{}ewo, Poland.…

We make a comprehensive and self-contained study of compact bicrossed products arising from matched pairs of discrete groups and compact groups. We exhibit an automatic regularity property of such a matched pair and and produce an easy…

The basic notions and results of equivariant KK-theory concerning crossed products can be extended to the case of locally compact quantum groups. We recall these constructions and prove some usefull properties of subgroups and amalgamated…

We show that amenability, the Haagerup property, the Kazhdan's property (T) and exactness are preserved under taking second nilpotent product of groups. We also define the restricted second nilpotent wreath product of groups, this is a…

We investigate approximation properties for $C^*$-algebras and their crossed products by actions and coactions by locally compact groups. We show that Haagerup's approximation constant is preserved for crossed products by arbitrary amenable…

We prove that (a) discrete compact quantum groups (or more generally locally compact, under additional hypotheses) with coamenable dual are continuous fields over their central closed quantum subgroups, and (b) the same holds for free…
