The lattice of subgroups of a group is the subject of numerous results revolving around the central theme of decomposing the group into "chunks" (subquotients) that can then be compared to one another in various ways. Examples of results in…

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…

We study the theory of projective representations for a compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, i.e. actions of $\mathbb{G}$ on $\mathcal{B}(H)$ for some Hilbert space $H$. We show that any such projective representation is inner, and is hence…

We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group $G$ associated with non-singular $G$-spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a…

Let K >= 1 be a parameter. A K-approximate group is a finite set A in a (local) group which contains the identity, is symmetric, and such that A^2 is covered by K left translates of A. The main result of this paper is a qualitative…

We consider the following class of unitary representations $\pi $ of some (real) Lie group $G$ which has a matched pair of symmetries described as follows: (i) Suppose $G$ has a period-2 automorphism $\tau $, and that the Hilbert space…

In this note we explain how Day's fixed point theorem can be used to conjugate certain groups of biLipschitz maps of a metric space into special subgroups like similarity groups. In particular, we use Day's theorem to establish Tukia-type…

It is known that exactness for a discrete group is equivalent to C*-exactness, i.e., the exactness of its reduced C*-algebra. The problem of whether this equivalence holds for general locally compact groups has recently been reduced by Cave…

The Stone-von Neumann Theorem is a fundamental result which unified the competing quantum mechanical models of matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. It's mechanism of proof ultimately involved the study of unitary group representations on a…

We establish a fixed point property for a certain class of locally compact groups, including almost connected Lie groups and compact groups of finite abelian width, which act by simplicial isometries on finite rank buildings with measurable…

We show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between compact quantum subgroups of a co-amenable locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and certain left invariant C*-subalgebras of $C_0(\mathbb{G})$. We also prove that every compact…

We develop a fundamental theory of compact quantum group equivariant finite extensions of C*-algebras. In particular we focus on the case of quantum homogeneous spaces and give a Tannaka-Krein type result for equivariant correspondences. As…

Z.-J. Ruan has shown that several amenability conditions are all equivalent in the case of discrete Kac algebras. In this paper, we extend this work to the case of discrete quantum groups. That is, we show that a discrete quantum group,…

We prove various notions of uniform continuity for compact-quantum-group representations on Hilbert or Banach spaces equivalent to having finite spectrum, i.e. finitely many isotypic components. This generalizes the classical analogue for…

Given an extension $0\to V\to G\to Q\to1$ of locally compact groups, with $V$ abelian, and a compatible essentially bijective $1$-cocycle $\eta\colon Q\to\hat V$, we define a dual unitary $2$-cocycle on $G$ and show that the associated…

Admissible vectors for unitary representations of locally compact groups are the basis for group-frame and covariant coherent state expansions. Main tools in the study of admissible vectors have been Plancherel and central integral…

If $G$ is a compact group acting continuously on a compact metric space $(X, m)$, we prove two results that generalize Dirichlet's classical theorem on Diophantine approximation. If $G$ is a noncommutative compact group of isometries, we…

Given a locally compact group $G$ and a unitary representation $\rho:G\to U({\mathcal H})$ on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$, we construct a $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal E}(\rho)={\mathcal H}\otimes_{\mathbb C} C^*(G)$ over $C^*(G)$ and…

Generalizing the notion of continuous Hilbert space representations of compact topological groups we define unitary continuous correpresentations of $C^*$-completions of compact quantum group Hopf algebras on arbitrary Hilbert spaces. It is…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a locally compact quantum group. We give a 1-1 correspondence between group-like projections in $L^\infty(\mathbb{G})$ preserved by the scaling group and idempotent states on the dual quantum group…
