A resolution $P$ of the counit of the Hopf $\ast$-algebra $\mathcal{O}(U_n^+)$ of representative functions on van Daele and Wang's free unitary quantum group $U_n^+$ in terms of free $\mathcal{O}(U_n^+)$-modules is computed for arbitrary…
We define new noncommutative spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We investigate the quantum groups acting maximally on them, which yields new quantum versions of the orthogonal group: They are partially…
Certain semigroups are known to admit a `strong semilattice decomposition' into simpler pieces. We introduce a class of Banach algebras that generalise the $\ell^1$-convolution algebras of such semigroups, and obtain a disintegration…
A group is SimpHAtic if it acts geometrically on a simply connected simplicially hereditarily aspherical (SimpHAtic) complex. We show that finitely presented normal subgroups of the SimpHAtic groups are either: finite, or of finite index,…
We find, for each $n\geq2$, the class of $n\times n$ compact quantum groups whose representation theory is similar to that of $SU(2)$: this is the class of "free analogues of $O(n)$" constructed by Van Daele and Wang.
We discuss the liberation question, in the homogeneous space setting. Our first series of results concerns the axiomatization and classification of the families of compact quantum groups $G=(G_N)$ which are "uniform", in a suitable sense.…
We prove general de Finetti type theorems for classical and free independence. The de Finetti type theorems work for all non-easy quantum groups, which generalize a recent work of Banica, Curran and Speicher. We determine maximal…
This is the second one in a series of papers classifying the factorizations of almost simple groups with nonsolvable factors. In this paper we deal with almost simple unitary groups.
Given a quantum subgroup $G\subset U_n$ and a number $k\leq n$ we can form the homogeneous space $X=G/(G\cap U_k)$, and it follows from the Stone-Weierstrass theorem that $C(X)$ is the algebra generated by the last $n-k$ rows of coordinates…
Quasi-free actions of finite groups on Cuntz algebras $\mathcal O_n$ for $n\geq 2$ are classified up to conjugacy by data in the representation ring. Partial results are obtained for quasi-free actions by compact groups.
We study the intermediate liberation problem for the real and complex unitary and reflection groups, namely $O_N,U_N,H_N,K_N$. For any of these groups $G_N$, the problem is that of understanding the structure of the intermediate quantum…
The structure of the coincidence symmetry group of an arbitrary $n$-dimensional lattice in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space is considered by describing a set of generators. Particular attention is given to the coincidence isometry…
The number of nonisomorphic simplicial complexes with up to $n$ vertices increases super-exponentially with $n$, which makes exhaustive computation of invariants associated with such complexes a daunting task. In this paper we provide a…
Given a suitable collection of partitions of sets, there exists a connection to easy quantum groups via intertwiner maps. A sufficient condition for this correspondence to be one-to-one are particular linear independences on the level of…
We use the structure lattice, introduced in Part I, to undertake a systematic study of the class $\mathscr S$ consisting of compactly generated, topologically simple, totally disconnected locally compact groups that are non-discrete. Given…
We develop theory of multiplicity maps for compact quantum groups, as an application, we obtain a complete classification of right coideal $C^*$-algebras of $C(SU_q(2))$ for $q\in [-1,1]\setminus \{0\}$. They are labeled with Dynkin…
A class of free quantum fields defined on the Poincare' group, is described by means of their two-point vacuum expectation values. They are not equivalent to fields defined on the Minkowski spacetime and they are "elementary" in the sense…
Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with semisimple transvection group are known and classified for a long time. Contrary to that the description of pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces with non-semisimple transvection group is…
We provide new bounds for the divisibility function of the free group F_2 and construct short laws for the symmetric groups Sym(n). The construction is random and relies on the classification of the finite simple groups. We also give bounds…
Einstein's photo-electric effect allows us to regard electromagnetic waves as massless particles. Then, how is the photon helicity translated into the electric and magnetic fields perpendicular to the direction of propagation? This is an…
