Given a dynamical twist for a finite dimensional Hopf algebra we construct two weak Hopf algebras, using methods of Xu and Etingof-Varchenko, and show that they are dual to each other. We generalize the theory of dynamical quantum groups to…

We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group $G$ associated with non-singular $G$-spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a…

We give a simple and unified proof showing that the unrestricted wreath product of a weakly sofic, sofic, linear sofic, or hyperlinear group by an amenable group is weakly sofic, sofic, linear sofic, or hyperlinear, respectively. By means…

We give examples of non-amenable ICC groups $\Gamma$ with the Haagerup property, weakly amenable with constant $\Lambda_{\cb}(\Gamma) = 1$, for which we show that the associated ${\rm II_1}$ factors $L(\Gamma)$ are strongly solid, i.e. the…

We define concepts of amenability and co-amenability for algebraic quantum groups in the sense of A. Van Daele. We show that co-amenability of an algebraic quantum group always implies amenability of its dual. Various necessary and/or…

Compact-group representations on Banach spaces are known to be norm-continuous precisely when they have finite spectra. For a quantum group with continuous-function algebra $\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{G})$ norm continuity can be cast analogously…

We present an introduction to weak amenability for locally compact groups, and a survey of some of the most important results regarding this property.

We study relative amenability and amenability of a right coideal $\widetilde{N}_P\subseteq \ell^\infty(\mathbb{G})$ of a discrete quantum group in terms of its group-like projection $P$. We establish a notion of a $P$-left invariant state…

Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb G$, we define and study representations and C$^\ast$-completions of the convolution algebra $L_1(\mathbb G)$ associated with various linear subspaces of the multiplier algebra $C_b(\mathbb G)$.…

This paper concerns the study of regular Fourier hypergroups through multipliers of their associated Fourier algebras. We establish hypergroup analogues of well-known characterizations of group amenability, introduce a notion of weak…

Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\Bbb Q$ and let $\Gamma\subset G(\Bbb Q)$ be an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\Bbb R)$ be a maximal compact subgroup and let $d$ be the dimension of…

We study the concept of co-amenability for a compact quantum group. Several conditions are derived that are shown to be equivalent to it. Some consequences of co-amenability that we obtain are faithfulness of the Haar integral and automatic…

Let (G,S) be a Coxeter group. We construct a continuation, to the open unit disc, of the unitary representations associated to the positive definite functions g -> r^l(g). (Here 0<r<1, and l denotes the length function with respect to the…

We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the…

We completely characterize connected Lie groups all of whose countable subgroups are weakly amenable. We also provide a characterization of connected semisimple Lie groups that are weakly amenable. Finally, we show that a connected Lie…

We study projective unitary (co)representations of compact quantum groups and the associated second cohomology theory. We introduce left/right/bi/strongly projective corepresentations and study them in details. In particular, we prove that…

We give for a compact group G, a full characterisation of when its Fourier algebra A(G) is weakly amenable: when the connected component of the identity G_e is abelian. This condition is also equivalent to the hyper-Tauberian property for…

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 $\mathbb{Z}\ast H$.

We construct the HNN extension of discrete quantum groups, we study their representation theory and we show that an HNN extension of amenable discrete quantum groups is K-amenable.

Symmetries in quantum mechanics are realized by the projective representations of the Lie group as physical states are defined only up to a phase. A cornerstone theorem shows that these representations are equivalent to the unitary…
