In this paper, we will define the reduced cross-sectional $C^*$-algebras of $C^*$-algebraic bundles over locally compact groups and show that if a $C^*$-algebraic bundle has the approximation property (defined similarly as in the discrete…

We prove a Delorme-Guichardet type theorem for discrete quantum groups expressing property (T) of the quantum group in question in terms of its first cohomology groups. As an application, we show that the first L^2-Betti number of a…

The basic notions and results of equivariant KK-theory concerning crossed products can be extended to the case of locally compact quantum groups. We recall these constructions and prove some usefull properties of subgroups and amalgamated…

We define for discrete finitely presented groups a new property related to their asymptotic representations. Namely we say that a groups has the property AGA if every almost representation generates an asymptotic representation. We give…

For a connected real Lie group $G$ we consider the canonical standard-ordered star product arising from the canonical global symbol calculus based on the half-commutator connection of $G$. This star product trivially converges on polynomial…

Let $G= N\rtimes H$ be a locally compact group which is a semi-direct product of a closed normal subgroup $N$ and a closed subgroup $H.$ The Bohr compactification ${\rm Bohr}(G)$ and the profinite completion ${\rm Prof}(G)$ of $G$ are,…

Let $g$ be a semi-simple simply-connected Lie algebra and let $U_\ell$ be the corresponding quantum group with divided powers, where $\ell$ is an even order root of unity. Let in addition $u_\ell\subset U_\ell$ be the corresponding "small"…

We show that the rigid C*-tensor categories of finite dimensional type 1 unitary representations of the quantum groups $U_{q}(\mathfrak{g}_{2})$ corresponding to the exceptional Lie group $G_2$ for positive $q\ne 1$ have property (T).

To a compact Lie group $G$ one can associate a space $E(2,G)$ akin to the poset of cosets of abelian subgroups of a discrete group. The space $E(2,G)$ was introduced by Adem, F. Cohen and Torres-Giese, and subsequently studied by Adem and…

A quasi-representation of a group is a map from the group into a matrix algebra (or similar object) that approximately satisfies the relations needed to be a representation. Work of many people starting with Kazhdan and Voiculescu, and…

We obtain two related characterizations of discrete quantum groups and discrete quantum groups of Kac type as allegorical group objects in the symmetric monoidal dagger category of quantum sets and relations, of interest to quantum…

In this paper we prove some general theorems about representations of finite groups arising from the inner semidirect product of groups. We show how these results can be used for standard applications of group theory in quantum chemistry…

We show that the discrete duals of the free orthogonal quantum groups have the Haagerup property and the completely contractive approximation property. Analogous results hold for the free unitary quantum groups and the quantum automorphism…

It is proved that: (1) The Fourier algebra A(G) of a simple Lie group G of real rank at least 2 with finite center does not have a multiplier bounded approximate unit. (2) The reduced C*-algebra of any lattice in a non-compact simple Lie…

We follow the approach developed by Beilinson-Lusztig-MacPherson and modified by Fu and the first author to investigate a new realization for the i-quantum groups U^j(n) of type B, building on the multiplication formulas discovered in…

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 introduce a discrete deformation of Rieffel type for finite (quantum) groups. Using this, we give a non-trivial example of a finite quantum group of order 18. We also give a deformation of finite groups of Lie type by using their maximal…

We show that every unitary representation of a solvable discrete virtually nilpotent group G is quasidiagonal. Roughly speaking, this says that every unitary representation of G approximately decomposes as a direct sum of finite dimensional…

Given a labeling c of the edges of a directed graph E by elements of a discrete group G, one can form a skew-product graph E cross_c G. We show, using the universal properties of the various constructions involved, that there is a coaction…

We study the automorphism group of the algebraic closure of a substructure A of a pseudo-finite field F, or more generally, of a bounded PAC field F. This paper answers some of the questions of [1], and in particular that any finite group…
