Landstad-Vaes theory for locally compact quantum groups

Landstad-Vaes theory deals with the structure of the crossed product of a C$^*$-algebra by an action of locally compact (quantum) group. In particular it describes the position of original algebra inside crossed product. The problem was solved in 1979 by Landstad for locally compact groups and in 2005 by Vaes for regular locally compact quantum groups. To extend the result to non-regular groups we modify the notion of $G$-dynamical system introducing the concept of weak action of quantum groups on C$^*$-algebras. It is still possible to define crossed product (by weak action) and characterise the position of original algebra inside the crossed product. The crossed product is unique up to an isomorphism. At the end we discuss a few applications.

Monoidal category of C*-algebras

We consider the category of C*-algebras equipped with actions of a locally compact quantum group. We show that this category admits a monoidal structure satisfying certain natural conditions if and only if the group is quasitriangular. The monoidal structures are in bijective correspondence with unitary R-matrices. To prove this result we use only very natural properties imposed on considered monoidal structures. We assume that monoidal product is a crossed product, monoidal product of injective morphisms is injective and that monoidal product reduces to the minimal tensor product when one of the involved C*-algebras is equipped with a trivial action of the group. No a priori form of monoidal product is used.

From multiplicative unitaries to quantum groups II

It is shown that all important features of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebraic quantum group $(A,Δ)$ defined by a modular multiplicative $W$ depend only on the pair $(A,Δ)$ rather than the multiplicative unitary operator $W$. The proof is based on thorough study of representations of quantum groups. As an application we present a construction and study properties of the universal dual of a quantum group defined by a modular multiplicative unitary - without assuming existence of Haar weights.

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 non-compact quantum groups satisfy our condition, but fail to be manageable.

A c*-algebraic framework for quantum groups

We develop a general framework to deal with the unitary representations of quantum groups using the language of C*-algebras. Using this framework, we prove that the duality holds in a general context. This extends the framework of the duality theorem using the language of von Neumann algebras previously developed by Masuda and Nakagami.

On the structure of inhomogeneous quantum groups

We investigate inhomogeneous quantum groups G built from a quantum group H and translations. The corresponding commutation relations contain inhomogeneous terms. Under certain conditions (which are satisfied in our study of quantum Poincare groups [12]) we prove that our construction has correct `size', find the R-matrices and the analogues of Minkowski space for G.

On the classification of quantum Poincaré groups

Using the general theory of [10] ( hep-th 9412058 ), quantum Poincaré groups (without dilatations) are described and investigated. The description contains a set of numerical parameters which satisfy certain polynomial equations. For most cases we solve them and give the classification of quantum Poincaré groups. Each of them corresponds to exactly one quantum Minkowski space. The Poincaré series of these objects are the same as in the classical case. We also classify possible $R$-matrices for the fundamental representation of the group.
