From multiplicative unitaries to quantum groups
نویسنده
چکیده
An alternative version of the theory of multiplicative unitaries is presented. Instead of the original regularity condition of Baaj and Skandalis we formulate another condition selecting manageable multiplicative unitaries. The manageability is the property of multiplicative unitaries coming from the quantum group theory. For manageable multiplicative unitaries we reproduce all the essential results of the original paper of Baaj and Skandalis and much more. In particular the existence of the antipode and its polar decomposition is shown.

6 A remark on manageable multiplicative unitaries ∗
We propose a weaker condition for multiplicative unitary operators related to quantum groups, than the condition of manageability introduced by S.L. Woronowicz. We prove that all the main results of the theory of manageable multiplicative unitaries remain true under this weaker condition. We also show that multiplicative unitaries arising naturally in the construction of some recent examples of...
متن کاملC-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and Hopf C-bimodules
We introduce C∗-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and concrete Hopf C∗-bimodules for the study of quantum groupoids in the setting of C∗-algebras. These unitaries and Hopf C∗-bimodules generalize multiplicative unitaries and Hopf C∗-algebras and are analogues of the pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and Hopf–von Neumann-bimodules studied by Enock, Lesieur and Vallin. To each C∗-pseudo-multiplicativ...

Finite quantum groupoids can be described in many equivalent ways [8, 11, 16]: In terms of the weak Hopf C -algebras of Böhm, Nill, and Szlachányi [2] or the finite-dimensional Hopf-von Neumann bimodules of Vallin [14], and in terms of finite-dimensional multiplicative partial isometries [4] or the finite-dimensional pseudo-multiplicative unitaries of Vallin [15]. In this note, we show that in ...
متن کاملThe operator algebra approach to quantum groups.
A relatively simple definition of a locally compact quantum group in the C*-algebra setting will be explained as it was recently obtained by the authors. At the same time, we put this definition in the historical and mathematical context of locally compact groups, compact quantum groups, Kac algebras, multiplicative unitaries, and duality theory.
متن کاملMorphisms of Multiplicative Unitaries
In this paper, we will give a natural definition for morphisms between multiplicative unitaries. We will then discuss some equivalences of this definition and some interesting properties of them. Moreover, we will define normal sub-multiplicative unitaries for multiplicative unitaries of discrete type and prove an imprimitivity type theorem for discrete multiplicative unitaries.
