The Lie algbera of a compact semisimple Lie group G is determined by the degrees of the irreducible representations of G. However, two different groups can have the same representation degrees.

In this paper we describe the effect on quantum groups -- namely, both QUEA's and QFSHA's -- of deformations by twist and by 2-cocycles, showing how such deformations affect the semiclassical limit. As a second, more important task, we…

We investigate the Drinfel'd doubles $D(\Lambda_{n,d})$ of a certain family of Hopf algebras. We determine their simple modules and their indecomposable projective modules, and we obtain a presentation by quiver and relations of these…

The study of Khintchin inequalities has a long history in abstract harmonic analysis. While there is almost no possibility of non-trivial Khintchine inequality for central Fourier series on compact connected semisimple Lie groups, we…

We define a new $q$-deformation of Brauer's centralizer algebra which contains Hecke algebras of type $A$ as unital subalgebras. We determine its generic structure as well as the structure of certain semisimple quotients. This is expected…

Let G be a locally compact group, H an abelian subgroup and let f be a continuous 2-cocycle on the dual group of H. Let B be a C*-algebra equipped with a continuous right coaction of G. Using Rieffel deformation, we can construct a quantum…

We use category theory to propose a unified approach to the Schur-Weyl dualities involving the general linear Lie algebras, their polynomial extensions and associated quantum deformations. We define multiplicative sequences of algebras…

We give simple explicit formulas for deformation quantization of Poisson-Lie groups and of similar Poisson manifolds which can be represented as moduli spaces of flat connections on surfaces. The star products depend on a choice of…

We show that some factors of the universal R-matrix generate a family of twistings for the standard Hopf structure of any quantized contragredient Lie (super)algebra of finite growth. As an application we prove that any two isomorphic…

We construct a Fredhom module representing the Kasparov gamma element in G-equivariant KK-theory for G a semisimple Lie group of real rank one. This is the main step of our proof of the Baum-Connes conjecture for such groups.

We show that there is a family of complex semisimple Hopf algebras that do not admit a Hopf order over any number ring. They are Drinfel'd twists of certain group algebras. The twist contains a scalar fraction which makes impossible the…

We show a matrix Paley-Wiener theorem for the Hecke algebra of a p-adic group. The proof is based on an analogue of Harish-Chandra's Plancherel formula.

We derive an explicit expression for the Haar integral on the quantized algebra of regular functions C_q[K] on the compact real form K of an arbitrary simply connected complex simple algebraic group G. This is done in terms of the…

For a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra ${\frak{g}}$ and a root $q$ of unity in a field $k,$ we associate to these data a double quiver $\bar{\cal{Q}}.$ It is shown that a restricted version of the quantized enveloping algebras…

Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…

We propose a definition of compact quantum groupoids in the setting of C*-algebras, associate to such a quantum groupoid a regular C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitary, and use this unitary to construct a dual Hopf C*-bimodule and to pass to a…

This lecture consists of two sections. In section 1 we consider the simplest version of a q-deformed Heisenberg algebra as an example of a noncommutative structure. We first derive a calculus entirely based on the algebra and then formulate…

We provide an explicit quantization of dynamical r-matrices for semisimple Lie algebras, classified earlier by the third author, which includes the Belavin-Drinfeld r-matrices. We do so by constructing an appropriate (dynamical) twist in…

We expose a K-theoretic approach to study group C*-algebras and C*-algebraic compact quantum groups: 1. The conception of multidimensional geometric quantization and the index of group C*-algebras; 2. the entire homology of noncommutative…

We prove the Plancherel formula for spherical Schwartz functions on a reductive symmetric space. Our starting point is an inversion formula for spherical smooth compactly supported functions. The latter formula was earlier obtained from the…
