At present, our notion of space is a classical concept. Taking the point of view that quantum theory is more fundamental than classical physics, and that space should be given a purely quantum definition, we revisit the notion of Euclidean…
We reconstruct finite-dimensional quantum theory from categorical principles. That is, we provide properties ensuring that a given physical theory described by a dagger compact category in which one may `discard' objects is equivalent to a…
We start from quantum theory (instead of general relativity) to approach quantum gravity within a minimal setting and promote the space-time coordinates to quantum non-commuting operators. Comparison to the harmonic oscillator global phase…
We formulate a definition of isometric action of a compact quantum group (CQG) on a compact metric space, generalizing Banica's definition for finite metric spaces. For metric spaces $(X,d)$ which can be isometrically embedded in some…
We construct a basis for a modified quantum group of finite type, extending the PBW bases of positive and negative halves of a quantum group. Generalizing Lusztig's classic results on PBW bases, we show that this basis is orthogonal with…
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''…
Quantum geometric maps, which relate SU(2) spin networks and Lorentz covariant projected spin networks, are an important ingredient of spin foam models (and tensorial group field theories) for 4-dimensional quantum gravity. We give a…
In this paper we complete in several aspects the picture of locally compact quantum groups. First of all we give a definition of a locally compact quantum group in the von Neumann algebraic setting and show how to deduce from it a…
Quantum splines are curves in a Hilbert space or, equivalently, in the corresponding Hilbert projective space, which generalize the notion of Riemannian cubic splines to the quantum domain. In this paper, we present a generalization of this…
In this paper, we collect some technical results about weights on C*-algebras which are useful in de theory of locally compact quantum groups in the C*-algebra framework. We discuss the extension of a lower semi-continuous weight to a…
The spatial symmetry of matter - including finite objects like molecules or atomic clusters, and extended objects like periodic or aperiodic crystals - is described using point groups and space groups. Magnetic point groups and space groups…
We identify a class of "semi-modular" forms invariant on special subgroups of $GL_2(\mathbb Z)$, which includes classical modular forms together with complementary classes of functions that are also nice in a specific sense. We define an…
In this paper we will demonstrate that any compact quantum group can be used as symmetry groups for quantum channels, which leads us to the concept of covariant channels. We, then, unearth the structure of the convex set of covariant…
We generalize the concept of stabilizer subgroups to compact quantum groups.
The construction of a quantum groupoid out of a double groupoid satisfying a filling condition and a perturbation datum is given. This extends previous work that appeared in math.QA/0308228. Several important classes of examples of tensor…
Induced representations for quantum groups are defined starting from coisotropic quantum subgroups and their main properties are proved. When the coisotropic quantum subgroup has a suitably defined section such representations can be…
The phase space of quantum mechanics can be viewed as the complex projective space endowed with a Kaehlerian structure given by the Fubini-Study metric and an associated symplectic form. We can then interpret the Schrodinger equation as…
The multipullback quantization of complex projective spaces lacks the naive quantum CW-complex structure because the quantization of an embedding of the $n$-skeleton into the $(n+1)$-skeleton does not exist. To overcome this difficulty, we…
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…
We investigate compact quantum group actions on unital $C^*$-algebras by analyzing invariant subsets and invariant states. In particular, we come up with the concept of compact quantum group orbits and use it to show that countable compact…
