We introduce a notion of partial algebraic quantum group. This is an important special case of a weak multiplier Hopf algebra with integrals, as introduced in the work of Van Daele and Wang. At the same time, it generalizes the notion of…
We develop a general framework to deal with the unitary representations of quantum groups using the language of C*-algebras. Using this framework, we prove that the duality holds in a general context. This extends the framework of the…
We generalise the quantum double construction of Drinfel'd to the case of the (Hopf) algebra of suitable functions on a compact or locally compact group. We will concentrate on the *-algebra structure of the quantum double. If the conjugacy…
We establish the existence of injective envelopes for unital Yetter-Drinfeld C*-algebras, and a related class of bimodule categories over rigid C*-tensor categories. This implies monoidal invariance for boundary actions of Drinfeld doubles…
We show that bicovariant bimodules as defined by Woronowicz are in one to one correspondence with the Drinfeld quantum double representations. We then prove that a differential calculus associated to a bicovariant bimodule of dimension n is…
We develop a tensor categorical duality in the sprit of the Tannaka-Krein duality for the C*-algebras admitting the Yetter-Drinfeld module structure over a compact quantum group. Under this duality, given a reduced compact quantum group G,…
Duality between the coloured quantum group and the coloured quantum algebra corresponding to GL(2) is established. The coloured L^{\pm} functionals are constructed and the dual algebra is derived explicitly. These functionals are then…
In this paper, we carry out the ``quantum double construction'' of the specific quantum groups we constructed earlier, namely, the ``quantum Heisenberg group algebra'' (A,\Delta) and its dual, the ``quantum Heisenberg group''…
The classical duality theory associates to an abelian group a dual companion. Passing to a non-abelian group, a dual object can still be defined, but it is no longer a group. The search for a broader category which should include both the…
We consider the construction of twisted tensor products in the category of C*-algebras equipped with orthogonal filtrations and under certain assumptions on the form of the twist compute the corresponding quantum symmetry group, which turns…
It is shown that all important features of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebraic quantum group $(A,\Delta)$ defined by a modular multiplicative $W$ depend only on the pair $(A,\Delta)$ rather than the multiplicative unitary operator $W$. The proof is…
In this survey we review different instances in which the Drinfeld double of a finite group and its representations play a role, touching upon some of Tom Koornwinder's research interests: harmonic analysis, Lie algebras, quantum groups,…
We introduce $*$-structures on braided groups and braided matrices. Using this, we show that the quantum double $D(U_q(su_2))$ can be viewed as the quantum algebra of observables of a quantum particle moving on a hyperboloid in q-Minkowski…
Gelfand duality between unital commutative C*-algebras and Compact Hausdorff spaces is extended to all unital C*-algebras, where the dual objects are what we call compact Hausdorff quantum spaces. We apply this result to obtain, a…
The Cuntz algebra carries in a natural way the structure of a module algebra over the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q(g)$, and the structure of a co-module algebra over the quantum group $G_q$ associated with $U_q(g)$. These two…
The Drinfeld double associated to the weak multiplier Hopf ($*$-) algebra pairing $\left\langle A, B\right\rangle$ is constructed. We show that the Drinfeld double is again a weak multiplier Hopf ($*$-) algebra. If $A$ and $B$ are algebraic…
Quantum double construction, originally due to Drinfeld and has been since generalized even to the operator algebra framework, is naturally associated with a certain (quasitriangular) $R$-matrix ${\mathcal R}$. It turns out that ${\mathcal…
We study irreducible spherical unitary representations of the Drinfeld double of a $q$-deformation of a connected simply connected compact Lie group, which can be considered as a quantum analogue of the complexification of the Lie group. In…
We continue our study of the concepts of amenability and co-amenability for algebraic quantum groups in the sense of A. Van Daele and our investigation of their relationship with nuclearity and injectivity. One major tool for our analysis…
Drinfeld doubles of finite subgroups of SU(2) and SU(3) are investigated in detail. Their modular data - S, T and fusion matrices - are computed explicitly, and illustrated by means of fusion graphs. This allows us to reexamine certain…
