Quantum isometry groups of the Podles spheres

For μ∈(0,1), c?0, we identify the quantum group SOμ(3) as the universal object in the category of compact quantum groups acting by ‘orientation and volume preserving isometries’ in the sense of Bhowmick and Goswami (2009) [4] on the natural spectral triple on the Podles sphere constructed by Dabrowski, D'Andrea, Landi and Wagner (2007) in [9].     

Quantum symmetry groups of Hilbert modules equipped with orthogonal filtrations

We define and show the existence of the quantum symmetry group of a Hilbert module equipped with an orthogonal filtration. Our construction unifies the constructions of Banica–Skalski?s quantum symmetry group of a C^?$C^{?}$-algebra equipped with an orthogonal filtration and Goswami?s quantum isometry group of an admissible spectral triple.     

Quantum double constructions for compact quantum group

For a non-degenerate pair of compact quantum groups, we first construct the quantum double as an algebraic compact quantum group in an algebraic framework. Then by adopting some completion procedure, we give the universal and reduced quantum double constructions in the correspondence C＊-algebraic settings, which generalize Drinfeld＇s quantum double construction and yield new C＊-algebraic compact quantum groups.     

Equivariant Spectral Triples on the Quantum SU(2) Group

We characterize all equivariant odd spectral triples for the quantum SU(2) group acting on its L ₂-space and having a nontrivial Chern character. It is shown that the dimension of an equivariant spectral triple is at least three, and given any element of the K-homology group of SU_q(2), there is an equivariant odd spectral triple of dimension 3 inducing that element. The method employed to get equivariant spectral triples in the quantum case is then used for classical SU(2), and we prove that for p < 4, there does not exist any equivariant spectral triple with nontrivial K-homology class and dimension p acting on the L ₂-space.The first author would like to acknowledge support from the National Board of Higher Mathematics, India.

A state-space approach to quantum permutations

In this exposition of quantum permutation groups, an alternative to the ‘Gelfand picture’ of compact quantum groups is proposed. This point of view is inspired by algebraic quantum mechanics and interprets the states of an algebra of continuous functions on a quantum permutation group as quantum permutations. This interpretation allows talk of an element of a quantum permutation group, and allows a clear understanding of the difference between deterministic, random, and quantum permutations. The interpretation is illustrated by various quantum permutation group phenomena.     

Quantum Dynamical coBoundary Equation for finite dimensional simple Lie algebras

For a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra g, the standard universal solution R(x)∈Uq(g)^⊗2 of the Quantum Dynamical Yang-Baxter Equation quantizes the standard trigonometric solution of the Classical Dynamical Yang-Baxter Equation. It can be built from the standard R-matrix and from the solution F(x)∈Uq(g)^⊗2 of the Quantum Dynamical coCycle Equation as . F(x) can be computed explicitly as an infinite product through the use of an auxiliary linear equation, the ABRR equation.Inspired by explicit results in the fundamental representation, it has been conjectured that, in the case where g=sl(n+1)(n?1) only, there could exist an element M(x)∈Uq(sl(n+1)) such that the dynamical gauge transform RJ of R(x) by M(x),

RJ=M₁⁻¹(x)M₂(xqh₁⁾⁻¹R(x)M₁(xqh₂)M₂(x),     

Generating groups of isometries of the line using non-standard metrics

In this article, a simple exercise for finding groups isomorphic to the symmetry group of the real line is presented. A mechanism for producing metrics on the real line is used to construct the group elements, and these transformations, by construction, are isometries with respect to the generating metric.     

Two-parameter families of quantum symmetry groups

We introduce and study natural two-parameter families of quantum groups motivated on one hand by the liberations of classical orthogonal groups and on the other by quantum isometry groups of the duals of the free groups. Specifically, for each pair (p,q) of non-negative integers we define and investigate quantum groups O⁺(p,q), B⁺(p,q), S⁺(p,q) and H⁺(p,q) corresponding to, respectively, orthogonal groups, bistochastic groups, symmetric groups and hyperoctahedral groups. In the first three cases the new quantum groups turn out to be related to the (dual free products of ) free quantum groups studied earlier. For H⁺(p,q) the situation is different and we show that , where the latter can be viewed as a liberation of the classical isometry group of the p-dimensional torus.     

The isometry groups of Riemannian orbifolds

We prove that the isometry group ?(\(\mathcal{N}\)) of an arbitrary Riemannian orbifold \(\mathcal{N}\), endowed with the compact-open topology, is a Lie group acting smoothly and properly on \(\mathcal{N}\). Moreover, ?(\(\mathcal{N}\)) admits a unique smooth structure that makes it into a Lie group. We show in particular that the isometry group of each compact Riemannian orbifold with a negative definite Ricci tensor is finite, thus generalizing the well-known Bochner’s theorem for Riemannian manifolds.     

Spectral isometries onto algebras having a separating family of finite-dimensional irreducible representations

We prove that if A is a complex, unital semisimple Banach algebra and B is a complex, unital Banach algebra having a separating family of finite-dimensional irreducible representations, then any unital linear operator from A onto B which preserves the spectral radius is a Jordan morphism.

Coorbits of Quantum Homogeneous Spaces

The notion of coorbits for spaces with quantum group actions is introduced. A space with a quantum group action is given by a pair of algebras: an associative algebra which is the analog of a classical topological space, and a Hopf algebra which is the analog of a classical topological group. The Hopf algebra acts on the associative algebra via a comodule structure mapping which is also an algebra homomorphism. For a space with a quantum group action, a coorbit is a pair of spaces given by the image and the kernel of an algebra homomorphism from the associative algebra to the Hopf algebra. The coorbits of several types of quantum homogeneous spaces are discussed. In the case when the associative algebra is the group algebra of a group and the Hopf algebra is a quotient of the group algebra, the connection between the set of coorbits and the character group is established.     

Characterization of compact quantum group

Given a C^＊-algebra A and a comultiplication Ф on A, we show that the pair （A, Ф） is a compact quantum group if and only if the associated multiplier Hopf ^＊-algebra （A, ФA） is a compact Hopf ^＊-algebra.     

The small quantum group as a quantum double

We prove that the quantum double of the quasi-Hopf algebra of dimension attached in [P. Etingof, S. Gelaki, On radically graded finite-dimensional quasi-Hopf algebras, Mosc. Math. J. 5 (2) (2005) 371–378] to a simple complex Lie algebra and a primitive root of unity q of order n² is equivalent to Lusztig's small quantum group (under some conditions on n). We also give a conceptual construction of using the notion of de-equivariantization of tensor categories.
