The permutation group $S_N$ has a quantum analogue $S_N^+$, which is infinite at $N\geq4$. We review the known facts regarding $S_N^+$, and notably its easiness property, Weingarten calculus, and the isomorphism $S_4^+=SO_3^{-1}$ and its…

For $N\ge 4$ we present a series of *-homomorphisms $\varphi_n:C(S_N^+)\rightarrow B_n$ where $S_N^+$ is the quantum permutation group. They are not necessarily representations of the quantum group $S_N^+$ but they yield good operator…

The quantum permutation group of the set $X_n=\{1,..., n\}$ corresponds to the Hopf algebra $A_{aut}(X_n)$. This is an algebra constructed with generators and relations, known to be isomorphic to $\cc (S_n)$ for $n\leq 3$, and to be…

Let K be the subgroup of the extended mapping class group, Mod(S), generated by Dehn twists about separating curves. Assuming that S is a closed, orientable surface of genus at least 4, we confirm a conjecture of Farb that Comm(K), Aut(K)…

We show that any compact quantum group having the same fusion rules as the ones of $SO(3)$ is the quantum automorphism group of a pair $(A, \varphi)$, where $A$ is a finite dimensional $C^*$-algebra endowed with a homogeneous faithful…

We discuss some algebraic aspects of quantum permutation groups, working over arbitrary fields. If $K$ is any characteristic zero field, we show that there exists a universal cosemisimple Hopf algebra coacting on the diagonal algebra $K^n$:…

We answer a question of A. Skalski and P.M. So{\l}tan (2016) about inner faithfulness of the S.~Curran's map of extending a quantum increasing sequence to a quantum permutation in full generality. To do so, we exploit some novel techniques…

We develop a combinatorial approach to the quantum permutation algebras, as Hopf images of representations of type $\pi:A_s(n)\to B(H)$. We discuss several general problems, including the commutativity and cocommutativity ones, the…

In this paper we prove that the duals of the quantum reflection groups have the Haagerup property for all $N\ge4$ and $s\in[1,\infty)$. We use the canonical arrow onto the quantum permutation groups, and we describe how the characters of…

This is a presentation of recent work on quantum permutation groups. Contains: a short introduction to operator algebras and Hopf algebras; quantum permutation groups, and their basic properties; diagrams, integration formulae, asymptotic…

Let K(S) be the subgroup of the extended mapping class group, Mod(S), generated by Dehn twists about separating curves. In our earlier paper, we showed that Comm(K(S)) and Aut(K(S)) are both isomorphic to Mod(S) when S is a closed,…

A resolution $P$ of the counit of the Hopf $\ast$-algebra $\mathcal{O}(U_n^+)$ of representative functions on van Daele and Wang's free unitary quantum group $U_n^+$ in terms of free $\mathcal{O}(U_n^+)$-modules is computed for arbitrary…

In this paper we study two semigroups of completely positive unital self-adjoint maps on the von Neumann algebras of the free orthogonal quantum group $O_N^+$ and the free permutation quantum group $S_N^+$. We show that these semigroups…

To any finite metric space $X$ we associate the universal Hopf $\c^*$-algebra $H$ coacting on $X$. We prove that spaces $X$ having at most 7 points fall into one of the following classes: (1) the coaction of $H$ is not transitive; (2) $H$…

We establish several new topological generation results for the quantum permutation groups $S^+_N$ and the quantum reflection groups $H^{s+}_N$. We use these results to show that these quantum groups admit sufficiently many "matrix models".…

We compute the $ K $-theory of quantum automorphism groups of finite dimensional $ C^* $-algebras in the sense of Wang. The results show in particular that the $ C^* $-algebras of functions on the quantum permutation groups $ S_n^+ $ are…

The moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}$ of $n$ pointed stable curves of genus $0$ admits an action of the symmetric group $S_n$ by permuting the marked points. We provide a closed formula for the character of the $S_n$-action on the…

In this paper, we first introduce a quantum $n$-space with a cocommutative Hopf algebra structure. Then it is shown that to this quantum $n$-space there corresponds a derivation algebra of $\sigma$-twisted derivations related to some…

Let $H$ be the Hopf $C^*$-algebra of continuous functions on a (locally) compact quantum group of either reduced or full type. We show that endomorphisms of $H$ that respect its right regular comodule structure are translations by elements…

We report some observations concerning two well-known approaches to construction of quantum groups. Thus, starting from a bialgebra of inhomogeneous type and imposing quadratic, cubic or quartic commutation relations on a subset of its…
