The free analogues of $U(n)$ in Woronowicz's compact quantum group theory are the quantum groups $\{A_u(F)|F\in GL(n,\mathbb C)\}$ introduced by Van Daele and Wang. We classify here their irreducible representations. Their fusion rules turn…
The concept of the Schwinger Representation of a finite or compact simple Lie group is set up as a multiplicity-free direct sum of all the unitary irreducible representations of the group. This is abstracted from the properties of the…
This is an exposition of S.L Woronowicz co-representation theory of the compact quantum group $SU_{q}(2)$ written for a seminar series.
We show that under suitable assumptions, we have a one-to-one correspondence between classical groups and free quantum groups, in the compact orthogonal case. We classify the groups under correspondence, with the result that there are…
We show that the quotients of Wang and Van Daele's universal quantum groups by their centers are simple in the sense that they have no normal quantum subgroups, thus providing the first examples of simple compact quantum groups with…
We show that all orthogonal free quantum groups are isomorphic to variants of the free orthogonal Wang algebra, the hyperoctahedral quantum group or the quantum permutation group. We also obtain a description of their free complexification.…
We study the quantum isometry groups of the noncommutative Riemannian manifolds associated to discrete group duals. The basic representation theory problem is to compute the law of the main character of the relevant quantum group, and our…
We construct some braided quantum groups over the circle group. These are analogous to the free orthogonal quantum groups and generalise the braided quantum SU(2) groups for complex deformation parameter. We describe their irreducible…
We describe representation theory of the elliptic quantum group $E_{\tau,\eta}(sl_2)$. It turns out that the representation theory is parallel to the representation theory of the Yangian $Y(sl_2)$ and the quantum loop group $ U_q(\widetilde…
We prove an analogue of the Baum-Connes conjecture for free orthogonal quantum groups. More precisely, we show that these quantum groups have a $ \gamma $-element and that $ \gamma = 1 $. It follows that free orthogonal quantum groups are $…
The half-liberated orthogonal group $O_n^*$ appears as intermediate quantum group between the orthogonal group $O_n$, and its free version $O_n^+$. We discuss here its basic algebraic properties, and we classify its irreducible…
In this paper we study the $ K $-theory of free quantum groups in the sense of Wang and Van Daele, more precisely, of free products of free unitary and free orthogonal quantum groups. We show that these quantum groups are $ K $-amenable and…
We show that the orthogonal free quantum groups are not inner amenable and we construct an explicit proper cocycle weakly contained in the regular representation. This strengthens the result of Vaes and the second author, showing that the…
A novel approach to the finite dimensional representation theory of the entire Lorentz group $\operatorname{O}(1,3)$ is presented. It is shown how the entire Lorentz group may be understood as a semi-direct product between its identity…
We show that with respect to the Haar state, the joint distributions of the generators of Van Daele and Wang's free orthogonal quantum groups are modeled by free families of generalized circular elements and semicircular elements in the…
The representation theory of the quantum group su$_q(2)$ is used to introduce $q$-analogues of the Wigner rotation matrices, spherical functions, and Legendre polynomials. The method amounts to an extension of variable separation from…
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…
Several classes of irreducible orthogonal representations of compact Lie groups that are of importance in Differential Geometry have the property that the second osculating spaces of all of their nontrivial orbits coincide with the…
We study analogues of the radial subalgebras in free group factors (called the algebras of class functions) in the setting of compact quantum groups. For the free orthogonal quantum groups we show that they are not MASAs, as soon as we are…
We prove that each action of a compact matrix quantum group on a compact quantum space can be decomposed into irreducible representations of the group. We give the formula for the corresponding multiplicities in the case of the quotient…
