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 the general theory of locally compact quantum groups, the notion of Haar measure (Haar weight) plays the most significant role. The aim of this paper is to carry out a careful analysis regarding Haar weight, in relation to general…

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…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Consider the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$ of continuous complex functions on $G$, tending to 0 at infinity. The product in $G$ gives rise to a coproduct $\Delta_G$ on the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$. A locally…

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…

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…

Discrete quantum groups were introduced as duals of compact quantum groups by Podle\'s and Woronowicz in 1990. They have been studied intrinsically by Effros and Ruan (1994) and by the author (1996). In a more recent note (2025), we have…

A locally compact group $G$ is compact if and only if $L^1(G)$ is an ideal in $L^1(G)^{**}$, and the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$ is an ideal in $A(G)^{**}$ if and only if $G$ is discrete. On the other hand, $G$ is discrete if and only if…

In this paper, we give a construction of a (C*-algebraic) quantum Heisenberg group. This is done by viewing it as the dual quantum group of the specific non-compact quantum group (A,\Delta) constructed earlier by the author. Our definition…

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…

The category of locally compact quantum groups can be described as either Hopf $*$-homomorphisms between universal quantum groups, or as bicharacters on reduced quantum groups. We show how So{\l}tan's quantum Bohr compactification can be…

In this paper, we introduce C*-algebraic partial compact quantum groups, which are quantizations of topological groupoids with discrete object set and compact morphism spaces. These C*-algebraic partial compact quantum groups are…

Idempotent states on locally compact quantum semigroups with weak cancellation properties are shown to be Haar states on a certain sub-object described by an operator system with comultiplication. We also give a characterization of the…

Let $S$ be a subsemigroup of a second countable locally compact group $G$, such that $S^{-1}S=G$. We consider the $C^*$-algebra $C^*_\delta(S)$ generated by the operators of translation by all elements of $S$ in $L^2(S)$. We show that this…

In this paper, we carry out the ``quantum double construction'' of the specific quantum groups we constructed earlier, namely, the ``quantum Heisenberg group algebra'' (A,\Delta) and its dual, the ``quantum Heisenberg group''…

We present a generalization of Hirschman's entropic uncertainty principle for locally compact abelian groups to unimodular locally compact quantum groups. As a corollary, we strengthen a well-known uncertainty principle for compact groups,…

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic…

In this article, we give a class of examples of compact quantum groups and unitary 2-cocycles on them, such that the twisted quantum groups are non-compact, but still locally compact quantum groups (in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes).…

We discuss just infiniteness of C*-algebras associated to discrete quantum groups and relate it to the C*-uniqueness of the quantum groups in question, i.e. to the uniqueness of a C*-completion of the underlying Hopf *-algebra. It is shown…

We introduce an extended setting to study Hecke pairs $(G,H)$ which admit a regular representation on $L^2(H\backslash G)$, and consequently a $C^*$-algebra. As the result, many pairs of locally compact groups which had been studied in…
