We investigate the notion of a subgroup of a quantum group. We suggest a general definition, which takes into account the work that has been done for quantum homogeneous spaces. We further restrict our attention to reductive subgroups,…

The notion of simple compact quantum group is introduced. As non-trivial (noncommutative and noncocommutative) examples, the following families of compact quantum groups are shown to be simple: (a) The universal quantum groups $B_u(Q)$ for…

We show that either of the two reasonable choices for the category of compact quantum groups is nice enough to allow for a plethora of universal constructions, all obtained "by abstract nonsense" via the adjoint functor theorem. This…

Within the framework of unitary easy quantum groups, we study an analogue of Brauer's Schur-Weyl approach to the representation theory of the orthogonal group. We consider concrete combinatorial categories whose morphisms are formed by…

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…

We define new noncommutative spheres with partial commutation relations for the coordinates. We investigate the quantum groups acting maximally on them, which yields new quantum versions of the orthogonal group: They are partially…

Modular tensor categories are generalizations of the representation categories of quantum groups at roots of unity axiomatizing the properties necessary to produce 3-dimensional TQFTs. Although other constructions have since been found,…

A class of quantum analogues of compact symmetric spaces of classical type is introduced by means of constant solutions to the reflection equations. Their zonal spherical functions are discussed in connection with $q$-orthogonal…

Using the general theory of [10] ( hep-th 9412058 ), quantum Poincar\'e groups (without dilatations) are described and investigated. The description contains a set of numerical parameters which satisfy certain polynomial equations. For most…

We give a definition of partition C*-algebras: To any partition of a finite set, we assign algebraic relations for a matrix of generators of a universal C*-algebra. We then prove how certain relations may be deduced from others and we…

We define the notion of a (linearly reductive) center for a linearly reductive quantum group, and show that the quotient of a such a quantum group by its center is simple whenever its fusion semiring is free in the sense of Banica and…

We discuss generalizations of the notion of i) the group of unitary elements of a (real or complex) finite dimensional C*-algebra, ii) gauge transformations and iii) (real) automorphisms, in the framework of compact quantum group theory and…

We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…

A quantum set is defined to be simply a set of nonzero finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Together with binary relations, essentially the quantum relations of Weaver, quantum sets form a dagger compact category. Functions between quantum…

The complete classification of classical $r$-matrices generating quantum deformations of the (3+1)-dimensional (A)dS and Poincar\'e groups such that their Lorentz sector is a quantum subgroup is presented. It is found that there exists…

We introduce two new formulations for the notion of "quantum metric on noncommutative space". For a compact noncommutative space associated to a unital C*-algebra, our quantum metrics are elements of the spatial tensor product of the…

The meaning of quantum group transformation properties is discussed in some detail by comparing the (co)actions of the quantum group with those of the corresponding Lie group, both of which have the same algebraic (matrix) form of the…

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 construction of the noncommutative-geometric counterparts of classical classifying spaces is presented, for general compact matrix quantum structure groups. A quantum analogue of the classical concept of the classifying map is introduced…

This is a short, self-contained expository survey, focused on algebraic and analytic aspects of quantum groups. Topics covered include the definition of ``quantum group,'' the Yang-Baxter equation, quantized universal enveloping algebras,…
