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…

We prove that (a) discrete compact quantum groups (or more generally locally compact, under additional hypotheses) with coamenable dual are continuous fields over their central closed quantum subgroups, and (b) the same holds for free…

We study the discrete groups $\Lambda$ whose duals embed into a given compact quantum group, $\hat{\Lambda}\subset G$. In the matrix case $G\subset U_n^+$ the embedding condition is equivalent to having a quotient map $\Gamma_U\to\Lambda$,…

We give a simple definition of property T for discrete quantum groups. We prove the basic expected properties: discrete quantum groups with property T are finitely generated and unimodular. Moreover we show that, for "I.C.C." discrete…

We introduce the analog of Bohr compactification for discrete quantum groups on C*-algebra level. The cases of unimodular and general C*-algebraic discrete quantum groups are treated separately. The passage from the former case to the…

In various classes of infinite groups, we identify groups that are presentable by products, i.e. groups having finite index subgroups which are quotients of products of two commuting infinite subgroups. The classes we discuss here include…

We introduce and study a number of invariants of locally compact quantum groups defined by their scaling and modular groups and the spectrum of their modular elements. Focusing mainly on compact quantum groups we consider the question…

We define and study quantum permutations of infinite sets. This leads to discrete quantum groups which can be viewed as infinite variants of the quantum permutation groups introduced by Wang. More precisely, the resulting quantum groups…

The discrete cocompact subgroups of the 5-dimensional Lie group G_53 are determined up to isomorphism. Each of their group C*-algebras is studied by determining all of its simple infinite dimensional quotient C*-algebras. The K-groups and…

We develop a fundamental theory of compact quantum group equivariant finite extensions of C*-algebras. In particular we focus on the case of quantum homogeneous spaces and give a Tannaka-Krein type result for equivariant correspondences. As…

It is shown that a closed solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is compactly generated. In particular, every discrete solvable subgroup of a connected Lie group is finitely generated. Generalizations to locally compact groups are…

We give a survey of the theory of finite quantum groupoids (weak Hopf algebras), including foundations of the theory and applications to finite depth subfactors, dynamical deformations of quantum groups, and invariants of knots and…

We prove that the topological complexity of a finite index subgroup of a hyperbolic group is linear in its index. This follows from a more general result relating the size of the quotient of a free cocompact action of hyperbolic group on a…

We study the (compact) quantum subgroups of the compact quantum group $SU_{-1}(3)$: we show that any non-classical such quantum subgroup is a twist of a compact subgroup of SU(3) or is isomorphic to a quantum subgroup of $U_{-1}(2)$.

If G is a semidirect product N by H with N normal and finitely generated then G has the property that every finite group is a quotient of some finite index subgroup of G if and only if one of N and H has this property. This has applications…

Motivated by the theory of unitary representations of finite dimensional Lie supergroups, we describe those Lie superalgebras which have a faithful finite dimensional unitary representation. We call these Lie superalgebras unitary. This is…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup of prime index $p$. Let $V$ be an irreducible ${\mathbb F}H$-module and $U$ a quotient of the induced ${\mathbb F}G$-module $V\kern-3pt\uparrow$. We describe the structure of $U$, which is…

We classify the simple infinite dimensional integrable modules with finite dimensional weight spaces over the quantized enveloping algebra of an untwisted affine algebra. We prove that these are either highest (lowest) weight integrable…

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…

We show that the quantum family of all maps from a finite space to a finite dimensional compact quantum semigroup has a canonical quantum semigroup structure.
