We prove that for any non-trivial product-type action of SUq(n) (0<q<1) on an ITPFI factor N, the relative commutant of the fixed point algebra in N is isomorphic to the algebra of bounded measurable functions on the quantum flag manifold.…

We study tensor products of a $C_0 (X)$-algebra $A$ and a $C_0 (Y)$-algebra $B$, and analyse the structure of their minimal tensor product $A \otimes B$ as a $C_0 (X \times Y)$-algebra. We show that when $A$ and $B$ define continuous…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…
