We introduce a non commutative analog of the Bohr compactification. Starting from a general quantum group G we define a compact quantum group bG which has a universal property such as the universal property of the classical Bohr…
Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental automorphisms of Clifford algebras is established, where an isomorphism…
There are two very natural products of compact matrix quantum groups: the tensor product $G\times H$ and the free product $G*H$. We define a number of further products interpolating these two. We focus more in detail to the case where $G$…
In 1957 Atiyah classified simple and indecomposable vector bundles on an elliptic curve. In this article we generalize his classification by describing the simple vector bundles on all reduced plane cubic curves. Our main result states that…
An algebraic quantum group is a multiplier Hopf algebra with integrals. In this paper we will develop a theory of algebraic quantum hypergroups. It is very similar to the theory of algebraic quantum groups, except that the comultiplication…
In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…
The assignment of local observables in the vacuum sector, fulfilling the standard axioms of local quantum theory, is known to determine uniquely a compact group G of gauge transformations of the first kind together with a central involutive…
At the turn of the century, Etingof and Sevostyanov independently constructed a family of quantum integrable systems, quantizing the open Toda chain associated to a simple Lie group $G$. The elements of this family are parameterized by…
We investigate inhomogeneous quantum groups G built from a quantum group H and translations. The corresponding commutation relations contain inhomogeneous terms. Under certain conditions (which are satisfied in our study of quantum Poincare…
A fundamental property of compact groups and compact quantum groups is the existence and uniqueness of a left and right invariant probability -- the Haar measure. This is a natural playground for classical and quantum probability, provided…
The purpose of this paper is to consider some basic constructions in the category of compact quantum groups --for example de case of extensions, of Drinfeld twists, of matched pairs, of extensions, of linked pairs and of cocycle Singer…
We study the discrete groups $\Lambda$ whose duals embed into a given compact quantum group, $\hat{\Lambda}\subset G$. In the matrix case $G\subset U_n^+$ the embedding condition is equivalent to having a quotient map $\Gamma_U\to\Lambda$,…
The algebraic formulation of the quantum group gauge models in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider gauge groups taking values in the quantum groups and noncommutative gauge fields…
We construct the first examples of purely continuous, $q$-deformed Lie type locally compact quantum groups in higher rank. They arise from Drinfeld-Jimbo quantization, at unimodular deformation parameter, of the totally positive part of…
Lecture notes. Introduction to the cohomology of algebras, Lie algebras, Lie bialgebras and quantum groups. Contains a new derivation of the classification of classical r-matrices in terms of deformation cohomology, and a calculation of the…
Quantum Lorentz groups H admitting quantum Minkowski space V are selected. Natural structure of a quantum space G = V x H is introduced, defining a quantum group structure on G only for triangular H (q=1). We show that it defines a braided…
We introduce a quantum loop group associated to a general symmetric Cartan matrix, by imposing just enough relations between the usual generators $\{e_{i,k}, f_{i,k}\}_{i \in I, k \in \mathbb{Z}}$ in order for the natural Hopf pairing…
The elements of the wide class of quantum universal enveloping algebras are prooved to be Hopf algebras $H$ with spectrum $Q(H)$ in the category of groups. Such quantum algebras are quantum groups for simply connected solvable Lie groups…
We consider topological groupoids in finite and also in a compact settings. In the initial sections, we introduce definitions of typical observables and we studied them in the context of statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics. We…
We describe the full group of isometries of absolutely simple, compact, connected real Lie groups, of SO(4) and of U(n), endowed with suitable bi-invariant Riemannian metrics.
