Harmonic operators on convolution quantum group algebras
Let ${\Bbb G}$ be a locally compact quantum group and ${\mathcal T}(L^2({\Bbb G}))$ be the Banach algebra of trace class operators on $L^2({\Bbb G})$ with the convolution induced by the right fundamental unitary of ${\Bbb G}$. We study the space of harmonic operators $\widetilde{\mathcal H}_ω$ in ${\mathcal B}(L^2({\Bbb G}))$ associated to a contractive element $ω\in {\mathcal T}(L^2({\Bbb G}))$. We characterize the existence of non-zero harmonic operators in ${\mathcal K}(L^2({\Bbb G}))$ and relate them with some properties of the quantum group ${\Bbb G}$, such as finiteness, amenability and co-amenability.
