We propose a definition of a quantum homogeneous space of a locally compact quantum group. We show that classically it reduces to the notion of a homogeneous spaces. On the quantum level our definition goes beyond the quotient case. It…
Given a quantum subgroup $G\subset U_n$ and a number $k\leq n$ we can form the homogeneous space $X=G/(G\cap U_k)$, and it follows from the Stone-Weierstrass theorem that $C(X)$ is the algebra generated by the last $n-k$ rows of coordinates…
We study the free complexification operation for compact quantum groups, $G\to G^c$. We prove that, with suitable definitions, this induces a one-to-one correspondence between free orthogonal quantum groups of infinite level, and free…
We discuss various notions generalizing the concept of a homogeneous space to the setting of locally compact quantum groups. On the von Neumann algebra level we find an interesting duality for such objects. A definition of a quantum…
A quantum deformation of the adjoint action of the special linear group on the variety of nilpotent matrices is introduced. New non-embedded quantum homogeneous spaces are obtained related to certain maximal coadjoint orbits, and known…
We propose a new approach to the half-liberation question, for the compact groups $T_N\subset G_N\subset U_N$, where $T_N=\mathbb Z_2^N$. Indeed, we can construct a quantum group $T_N^*\subset G_N^*\subset U_N^*$, simply by setting…
The partial isometries of $\mathbb R^N,\mathbb C^N$ form compact semigroups $\widetilde{O}_N,\widetilde{U}_N$. We discuss here the liberation question for these semigroups, and for their discrete versions $\widetilde{H}_N,\widetilde{K}_N$.…
We present two examples of actions of non-regular locally compact quantum groups on their homogeneous spaces. The homogeneous spaces are defined in a way specific to these examples, but the definitions we use have the advantage of being…
For a family of unital free *-algebras with a family of states on them, we construct a sequence of noncommutative probability spaces, which are tensor product algebras with tensor product states and which approximate the free product of…
We study the intermediate liberation problem for the real and complex unitary and reflection groups, namely $O_N,U_N,H_N,K_N$. For any of these groups $G_N$, the problem is that of understanding the structure of the intermediate quantum…
Given a compact Lie group $G$, a reconstruction theorem for free $G$-manifolds is proved. As a by-product reconstruction results for locally trivial bundles are presented. Next, the main theorem is generalized to $G$-manifolds with one…
We present a general framework for Matrix theory compactified on a quotient space R^n/G, with G a discrete group of Euclidean motions in R^n. The general solution to the quotient conditions gives a gauge theory on a noncommutative space. We…
We discuss the half-liberation operation $X\to X^*$, for the algebraic submanifolds of the unit sphere, $X\subset S^{N-1}_\mathbb C$. There are several ways of constructing this correspondence, and we take them into account. Our main…
We discuss an extension of the Weingarten formula, to the case of noncommutative homogeneous spaces, under suitable "easiness" assumptions. The spaces that we consider are noncommutative algebraic manifolds, generalizing the spaces of type…
It is shown how one can define vector topological charges for topological exitations of non-linear sigma-models on compact homogeneous spaces T_G and G/T_G (where G is a simple compact Lie group and T_G is its maximal commutative subgroup).…
We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete…
We define for a topological group G and a family of subgroups F two versions for the classifying space for the family F, the G-CW-version E_F(G) and the numerable G-space version J_F(G). They agree if G is discrete, or if G is a Lie group…
One deals with arbitrary reduced free divisors in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero, by stressing the ideal theoretic and homological behavior of the corresponding singular locus. A particular emphasis is given to both…
It is well-known that any compact Lie group appears as closed subgroup of a unitary group, $G\subset U_N$. The unitary group $U_N$ has a free analogue $U_N^+$, and the study of the closed quantum subgroups $G\subset U_N^+$ is a problem of…
A detailed account of the construction of a homogeneous space for the quantum "az+b" group is presented. The homogeneous space is described by a commutative C*-algebra which means that it is a classical space. Then a covariant differential…
