The paper is concerned with the extension of the classical study of probability measures on a compact group which are square roots of the Haar measure, due to Diaconis and Shahshahani, to the context of compact quantum groups. We provide a…
We show that a compact quantum group all whose irreducible representations have dimension bounded by a fixed constant must be of Kac type, in other words, its Haar measure is a trace. The proof is based on establishing several facts…
We study actions of compact quantum groups on type I factors, which may be interpreted as projective representations of compact quantum groups. We generalize to this setting some of Woronowicz' results concerning Peter-Weyl theory for…
We consider compact matrix quantum groups whose fundamental corepresentation matrix has entries which are partial isometries with central support. We show that such quantum groups have a simple representation as semi-direct product quantum…
We describe the notion of a quantum family of maps of a quantum space and that of a quantum commutant of such a family. Quantum commutants are quantum semigroups defined by a certain universal property. We give a few examples of these…
We introduce a class of automorphisms of compact quantum groups which may be thought of as inner automorphisms and explore the behaviour of normal subgroups of compact quantum groups under these automorphisms. We also define the notion of…
We give a survey of some recent results on the fusion semirings of compact quantum groups (computations of and applications to discrete quantum groups) by using the following simplifying terminology: we say that a compact quantum group G is…
It is well-known that any compact Lie group appears as closed subgroup of a unitary group, $G\subset U_N$. The unitary group $U_N$ has a free analogue $U_N^+$, and the study of the closed quantum subgroups $G\subset U_N^+$ is a problem of…
Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups…
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…
In this article, we generalize to the case of regular locally compact quantum groups, two important results concerning actions of compact quantum groups. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two monoidally equivalent regular locally compact quantum…
For a (unital) $C^*$-algebra $\cla$, we construct a $C^*$-algebraic discrete quantum group (DQG) $\clq_{\rm aut}(\cla)$, coacting on $\cla$, which is a quantum generalization of ${\text Aut}(\cla)$ in the framework of discrete quantum…
For second countable discrete quantum groups, and more generally second countable locally compact quantum groups with trivial scaling group, we show that property (T) is equivalent to every weakly mixing unitary representation not having…
We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…
We review the notion of simple compact quantum groups and examples, and discuss the problem of construction and classification of simple compact quantum groups. Several new quantum groups constructed by Banica, Curran and Speicher since the…
The Fourier transform, known in classical analysis, and generalized in abstract harmonic analysis, can also be considered in the theory of locally compact quantum groups. In this note, I discuss some aspects of this more general Fourier…
We consider (self-adjoint) families of infinite matrices of noncommutative random variables such that the joint distribution of their entries is invariant under conjugation by a free quantum group. For the free orthogonal and…
We prove a number of property (T) permanence results for locally compact quantum groups under exact sequences and the presence of invariant states, analogous to their classical versions. Along the way we characterize the existence of…
We define and study an analogue of the Baum-Connes assembly map for complex semisimple quantum groups, that is, Drinfeld doubles of $ q $-deformations of compact semisimple Lie groups. Our starting point is the deformation picture of the…
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…
