In 2009, Banica and Speicher began to study the compact quantum subgroups of the free orthogonal quantum group containing the symmetric group S_n. They focused on those whose intertwiner spaces are induced by some partitions. These…
We show that finite index quantum subgroups of a discrete quantum group are induced from finite index quantum subgroups of the unimodularization. As an application, we classify all finite index quantum subgroups of free products of the…
Given a Hecke symmetry $R$, one can define a matrix bialgebra $E_R$ and a matrix Hopf algebra $H_R$, which are called function rings on the matrix quantum semi-group and matrix quantum groups associated to $R$. We show that for an even…
This is a presentation of recent work on quantum permutation groups. Contains: a short introduction to operator algebras and Hopf algebras; quantum permutation groups, and their basic properties; diagrams, integration formulae, asymptotic…
We describe the notion of a quantum family of maps of a quantum space and that of a quantum commutant of such a family. Quantum commutants are quantum semigroups defined by a certain universal property. We give a few examples of these…
We propose a definition of partition quantum spaces. They are given by universal $C^*$-algebras whose relations come from partitions of sets. We ask for the maximal compact matrix quantum group acting on them. We show how those fit into the…
We first review some invariant theoretic results about the finite subgroups of SU(2) in a quick algebraic way by using the McKay correspondence and quantum affine Cartan matrices. By the way it turns out that some parameters (a,b,h;p,q,r)…
We define new compact matrix quantum groups whose intertwiner spaces are dual to tensor categories of three-dimensional set partitions -- which we call spatial partitions. This extends substantially Banica and Speicher's approach of the so…
We present a new proof, which is independent of the finite simple group classification and applies also to infinite groups, that quasiprimitive permutation groups of simple diagonal type cannot be embedded into wreath products in product…
In 2015, Raum and Weber gave a definition of group-theoretical quantum groups, a class of compact matrix quantum groups with a certain presentation as semi-direct product quantum groups, and studied the case of easy quantum groups. In this…
We study unitary representations of semidirect products of a compact quantum group with a finite group. We give a classification of all irreducible unitary representations, a description of the conjugate representation of irreducible…
Various descending chains of subgroups of a finite permutation group can be used to define a sequence of `basic' permutation groups that are analogues of composition factors for abstract finite groups. Primitive groups have been the…
We discuss the classification problem for the unitary easy quantum groups, under strong axioms, of noncommutative geometric nature. Our main results concern the intermediate easy quantum groups $O_N\subset G\subset U_N^+$. To any such…
We give a partial solution to a long-standing open problem in the theory of quantum groups, namely we prove that all finite-dimensional representations of a wide class of locally compact quantum groups factor through matrix quantum groups…
We show that complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups, satisfy a categorical version of the Baum-Connes conjecture with trivial coefficients. This approach, based on…
In its most basic form, the finite quantum de Finetti theorem states that the reduced k-partite density operator of an n-partite symmetric state can be approximated by a convex combination of k-fold product states. Variations of this result…
These notes contain an introduction to the theory of complex semisimple quantum groups. Our main aim is to discuss the classification of irreducible Harish-Chandra modules for these quantum groups, following Joseph and Letzter. Along the…
Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…
We describe all Gaussian generating functionals on several easy quantum groups given by non-crossing partitions. This includes in particular the free unitary, orthogonal and symplectic quantum groups. We further characterize central…
We present a new notion of non-positively curved groups: the collection of discrete countable groups acting (AU-)acylindrically on finite products of $\delta$-hyperbolic spaces with general type factors. Inspired by the classical theory of…
