We introduce and study the concept of a bornological quantum group. This generalizes the theory of algebraic quantum groups in the sense of van Daele from the algebraic setting to the framework of bornological vector spaces. Working with…

We investigate the fundamental concept of a closed quantum subgroup of a locally compact quantum group. Two definitions - one due to S.Vaes and one due to S.L.Woronowicz - are analyzed and relations between them discussed. Among many…

The notion of an open quantum subgroup of a locally compact quantum group is introduced and given several equivalent characterizations in terms of group-like projections, inclusions of quantum group C*-algebras and properties of respective…

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…

The theory of measured quantum groupoids, as defined by Lesieur and myself, was made to generalize the theory of quantum groups made by Kustarmans and Vaes, but was only defined in a von Neumann algebra setting; Th. Timmermann constructed…

A. Van Daele introduced and investigated so-called algebraic quantum groups. We proved that such algebraic quantum groups give rise to C*-algebraic quantum groups in the sense of Masuda, Nakagami & Woronowicz. We prove in this paper that…

We propose a definition of a quantum homogeneous space of a locally compact quantum group. We show that classically it reduces to the notion of a homogeneous spaces. On the quantum level our definition goes beyond the quotient case. It…

An algebraic quantum group is a multiplier Hopf algebra with integrals. In this paper we will develop a theory of algebraic quantum hypergroups. It is very similar to the theory of algebraic quantum groups, except that the comultiplication…

We introduce a non commutative analog of the Bohr compactification. Starting from a general quantum group G we define a compact quantum group bG which has a universal property such as the universal property of the classical Bohr…

In 1987, Woronowicz gave a definition of compact matrix quantum groups generalizing compact Lie groups in the setting of noncommutative geometry. About twenty years later, Banica and Speicher isolated a class of compact matrix quantum…

In this paper, we give an alternative approach to the theory of locally compact quantum groups, as developed by Kustermans and Vaes. We develop the theory completely within the von Neumann algebra framework. At various points, we also do…

We discuss various notions generalizing the concept of a homogeneous space to the setting of locally compact quantum groups. On the von Neumann algebra level we find an interesting duality for such objects. A definition of a quantum…

We show that either of the two reasonable choices for the category of compact quantum groups is nice enough to allow for a plethora of universal constructions, all obtained "by abstract nonsense" via the adjoint functor theorem. This…

Using methods coming from non-formal equivariant quantization, we construct in this short note a unitary dual 2-cocycle on a discrete family of quotient groups of subgroups of the affine group of a local field (which is not of…

The notion of a quantum family of maps has been introduced in the framework of C*-algebras. As in the classical case, one may consider a quantum family of maps preserving additional structures (e.g. quantum family of maps preserving a…

Quantum homogeneous vector bundles are introduced by a direct description of their sections in the context of Woronowicz type compact quantum groups. The bundles carry natural topologies inherited from the quantum groups, and their sections…

Discrete quantum groups were introduced as duals of compact quantum groups by Podle\'s and Woronowicz in 1990. Shortly after, they were defined and studied intrinsically by Effros and Ruan, and by this author. In 1998, with the introduction…

In this article, we give a definition for measured quantum groupoids. We want to get objects with duality extending both quantum groups and groupoids. We base ourselves on J. Kustermans and S. Vaes' works about locally compact quantum…

Continuing our research on extensions of locally compact quantum groups, we give a classification of all cocycle matched pairs of Lie algebras in small dimensions and prove that all of them can be exponentiated to cocycle matched pairs of…

This is an introduction to the quantum groups, or rather to the simplest quantum groups. The idea is that the unitary group $U_N$ has a free analogue $U_N^+$, whose standard coordinates $u_{ij}\in C(U_N^+)$ are allowed to be free, and the…
