We study the Haagerup--Kraus approximation property for locally compact quantum groups, generalising and unifying previous work by Kraus--Ruan and Crann. Along the way we discuss how multipliers of quantum groups interact with the…

Via Gelfand duality, a unital C*-algebra $A$ induces a functor from compact Hausdorff spaces to sets, $\mathsf{CHaus}\to\mathsf{Set}$. We show how this functor encodes standard functional calculus in $A$ as well as its multivariate…

The quantum permutation group of the set $X_n=\{1,..., n\}$ corresponds to the Hopf algebra $A_{aut}(X_n)$. This is an algebra constructed with generators and relations, known to be isomorphic to $\cc (S_n)$ for $n\leq 3$, and to be…

We introduce and investigate some examples of C$^*$-algebras which are related to multiplication maps in the ring of $p$-adic integers. We find ideals within these algebras and use the corresponding short exact sequences to compute the…

In this article we present a new C*-algebraic deformation of the Lorentz group. It is obtained by means of the Rieffel deformation applied to SL(2,C). We give a detailed description of the resulting quantum group in terms of generators -…

Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb G$, we define and study representations and C$^\ast$-completions of the convolution algebra $L_1(\mathbb G)$ associated with various linear subspaces of the multiplier algebra $C_b(\mathbb G)$.…

The pro-algebraic fundamental group can be understood as a completion with respect to finite-dimensional non-commutative algebras. We introduce finer invariants by looking at completions with respect to Banach and C*-algebras, from which we…

We introduce quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras i.e. quasi-Hopf algebras equipped with a conjugation (star) operation. The definition of quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras proposed ensures that the class of quasi-Hopf $*$-algebras is closed under twisting and…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. $D(H;G)$ is the crossed product of $C(H)$ and ${\Bbb C}G$ which is only a subalgebra of $D(G)$, the quantum double of $G$. One can construct a $C^*$-subalgebra ${\mathcal{F}}_{_H}$ of the…

We introduce a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}_V$ of a variety $V$ over the number field $K$ and a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}_G$ of a reductive group $G$ over the ring of adeles of $K$. Using Pimsner's Theorem we construct an embedding…

We show that for any C*-algebra $A$, a sufficiently large Hilbert space $H$ and a unit vector $\xi \in H$, the natural application $rep(A:H) \to Q(A)$, $\pi \mapsto \langle \pi(-)\xi,\xi \rangle$ is a topological quotient, where $rep(A:H)$…

For every finite dimensional Lie supergroup $(G,\mathfrak g)$, we define a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A:=\mathcal A(G,\mathfrak g)$, and show that there exists a canonical bijective correspondence between unitary representations of…

In this paper we establish a direct connection between stable approximate unitary equivalence for $*$-homomorphisms and the topology of the KK-groups which avoids entirely C*-algebra extension theory and does not require nuclearity…

We introduce the holonomy-diffeomorphism algebra, a C*-algebra generated by flows of vectorfields and the compactly supported smooth functions on a manifold. We show that the separable representations of the holonomy-diffeomorphism algebra…

This is the last part of a series of three papers on the subject. In the first part we have considered the duality of algebraic quantum groups. In that paper, we use the term algebraic quantum group for a regular multiplier Hopf algebra…

For a $C^*$-algebra $A$ of compact operators and a compact manifold $M,$ we prove that the Hodge theory holds for $A$-elliptic complexes of pseudodifferential operators acting on smooth sections of finitely generated projective $A$-Hilbert…

We introduce a method to define $C^*$-algebras from $C^*$-correspondences. Our construction generalizes Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-modules, and graph algebras.

The purely algebraic notion of CQG algebra (algebra of functions on a compact quantum group) is defined. In a straightforward algebraic manner, the Peter-Weyl theorem for CQG algebras and the existence of a unique positive definite Haar…

Let $H$ be the C*-algebra of a non-trivial compact quantum group acting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$. It was recently conjectured that there does not exist an equivariant $*$-homomorphism from $A$ (type-I case) or $H$ (type-II case) to…

We survey some of the known results on the relation between the homology of the {\em full} Hecke algebra of a reductive $p$-adic group $G$, and the representation theory of $G$. Let us denote by $\CIc(G)$ the full Hecke algebra of $G$ and…
