Braided quantum $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ group - a case study

We continue the study of the braided compact quantum group $\mathrm{SU}_q(2)$ for complex $q$ satisfying $0<|q|<1$ introduced by Kasprzak, Meyer, Roy and Woronowicz (J. Noncommut. Geom. 10(4):1611-1625, 2016). We address such aspects as existence of the Haar measure, construct the scaling group, the antipode and its polar decomposition and describe the related braided Hopf algebra. We also study when the braided flip extends to a completely bounded map and establish equivalence between the two approaches to bosonization and braided tensor product taken in the literature (Kasprzak, Meyer, Roy, Woronowicz J.
