We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…

We prove that every uniform approximate homomorphism from a discrete amenable group into a symmetric group is uniformly close to a homomorphism into a slightly larger symmetric group. That is, amenable groups are uniformly flexibly stable…

Given a discrete group $\Gamma=<g_1,\ldots,g_M>$ and a number $K\in\mathbb N$, a unitary representation $\rho:\Gamma\to U_K$ is called quasi-flat when the eigenvalues of each $\rho(g_i)\in U_K$ are uniformly distributed among the $K$-th…

A majority of established quantum generalizations of discrete structures are shown to be instances of a single quantum generalization. In particular, the quantum graphs of Duan, Severini and Winter, the quantum metric spaces of Kuperberg…

We prove a weak form of the mean ergodic theorem for actions of amenable locally compact quantum groups in the von Neumann algebra setting.

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 show that with respect to the Haar state, the joint distributions of the generators of Van Daele and Wang's free orthogonal quantum groups are modeled by free families of generalized circular elements and semicircular elements in the…

In this paper, we find the fusion rules for the free wreath product quantum groups $\mathbb{G}\wr_*S_N^+$ for all compact matrix quantum groups of Kac type $\mathbb{G}$ and $N\ge4$. This is based on a combinatorial description of the…

We introduce the notion of uniform exactness, or uniform amenability at infinity, for discrete groups and prove it for a wide class of groups containing free groups and their limit groups. This shows a novel strong convergence phenomenon…

A discrete group $G$ is called W*-superrigid if the group $G$ can be entirely recovered from the ambient group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$. We introduce an analogous notion for discrete quantum groups. We prove that this strengthened quantum…

The notion of an open quantum subgroup of a locally compact quantum group is introduced and given several equivalent characterizations in terms of group-like projections, inclusions of quantum group C*-algebras and properties of respective…

We prove that the full automorphism group and the outer automorphism group of the free group of countably infinite rank are coarsely bounded. That is, these groups admit no continuous actions on a metric space with unbounded orbits, and…

We determine the quantum automorphism groups of finite spaces and find they are all compact quantum groups in the sense of Woronowicz. This solves a problem of Connes for finite spaces.

In this note we observe that any compact quantum group monoidally equivalent, in a nice way, to a free wreath product of a compact quantum group $G$ by the quantum automorphism group of a finite dimensional C*-algebra with a $\delta$-form…

We give a contractive Schur multiplier characterization of locally compact groups coarsely embeddable into Hilbert spaces. Consequently, all locally compact groups whose weak Haagerup constant is 1 embed coarsely into Hilbert spaces, and…

We prove that all finitely generated fully residually free groups (limit groups) have a sequence of finite dimensional unitary representations that `strongly converge' to the regular representation of the group. The corresponding statement…

The concept of (stable) weak containment for measure-preserving actions of a countable group $\Gamma$ is analogous to the classical notion of (stable) weak containment of unitary representations. If $\Gamma$ is amenable then the Rokhlin…

Let v be the right regular representation of a compact quantum group G. Then (S.L.Woronowicz, "Compact quantum groups") v contains all irreducible representations of G and each irreducible representation enters v with the multiplicity equal…

We let the central Fourier algebra, ZA(G), be the subalgebra of functions u in the Fourier algebra A(G) of a compact group, for which u(xyx^{-1})=u(y) for all x,y in G. We show that this algebra admits bounded point derivations whenever G…

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…
