In this paper we study actions of locally compact quantum groups on von Neumann algebras and prove that every action has a canonical unitary implementation, paralleling Haagerup's classical result on the unitary implementation of a locally compact group action. This result is an important tool in the study of quantum groups in action. We will use it in this paper to study subfactors and inclusions of von Neumann algebras. When alpha is an action of a locally compact quantum group on the von Neumann algebra N we can give necessary and sufficient conditions under which the inclusion of the fixed point algebra in the algebra N in the crossed product, is a basic construction. When alpha is an outer and integrable action on a factor N we prove that the inclusion of the fixed point algebra in the algebra N is irreducible, of depth 2 and regular, giving a converse to the results of Enock and Nest. Finally we prove the equivalence of minimal and outer actions and we generalize a theorem of Yamanouchi: every integrable outer action with infinite fixed point algebra is a dual action.
In this short note, further to Ng's study, we extend Bekka amenability and weak Bekka amenability to general locally compact quantum groups. We generalize some Ng's results to the general case. In particular, we show that, a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ is co-amenable if and only if the contra-corepresentation of its fundamental multiplicative unitary $W_{\mathbb{G}}$ is Bekka amenable, and $\mathbb{G}$ is amenable if and only if its dual quantum group's fundamental multiplicative unitary $W_{\widehat{\mathbb{G}}}$ is weakly Bekka amenable.
We define the notion of a principal S-bundle where S is a groupoid group bundle and show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between principal S-bundles and elements of a sheaf cohomology group associated to S. We also define the notion of a locally unitary action and show that the spectrum of the crossed product is a principal bundle. Furthermore, we prove that the isomorphism class of the spectrum determines the exterior equivalence class of the action and that every principal bundle can be realized as the spectrum of some locally unitary crossed product.
We prove that amenability of a unitary co-representation $U$ of a locally compact quantum group passes to unitary co-representations that weakly contain $U$. This generalizes a result of Bekka, and answers affirmatively a question of Bédos, Conti and Tuset. As a corollary, we extend to locally compact quantum groups a result of the first-named author, which characterizes amenability of a locally compact group $G$ by nuclearity of the reduced group $C^{*}$-algebra $C_{r}^{*}(G)$ and an additional condition.
We establish duality theory of p-adic unitary Banach representations of locally profinite groups. This is an extension of Iwasawa theory for profinite groups by P. Schneider and J. Teitelbaum. We also establish a criterion for an irreducibility of a unitary representation by certain simpleness of the Iwasawa module dual to it. Through the duality, the continuous induction of a unitary Banach representation of a closed subgroup is interpreted as a certain induction of Iwasawa module. It gives an explicit description of the dual of a continuous parabolic induction on GL_n(Q_p).
The Haagerup property for locally compact groups is generalised to the context of locally compact quantum groups, with several equivalent characterisations in terms of the unitary representations and positive-definite functions established. In particular it is shown that a locally compact quantum group G has the Haagerup property if and only if its mixing representations are dense in the space of all unitary representations. For discrete G we characterise the Haagerup property by the existence of a symmetric proper conditionally negative functional on the dual quantum group $\hat{G}$; by the e…
We show that the unitary conjugacy relation for unitary representations of a second countable locally compact group on a separable Hilbert space is a Borel equivalence relation.
Mimicking the von Neumann version of Kustermans and Vaes' locally compact quantum groups, Franck Lesieur had introduced a notion of measured quantum groupoid, in the setting of von Neumann algebras. In a former article, the author had introduced the notion of actions, crossed-product, dual actions of a measured quantum groupoid: a biduality theorem for actions had been proved. This article continues that program : we prove the existence of a standard implementation for an action, and a bidulaity theorem for weights. We generalize this way results which were proved, for locally compact quantum …
We introduce the construction of induced corepresentations in the setting of locally compact quantum groups and prove that the resulting induced corepresentations are unitary under some mild integrability condition. We also establish a quantum analogue of the classical bijective correspondence between quasi-invariant measures and certain measures on the larger locally compact group.
Suppose that $G$ is a locally compact group and $π$ is a (not necessarily irreducible) unitary representation of a closed normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ on a Hilbert space $H$. We extend results of Clifford and Mackey to determine when $π$ extends to a unitary representation of $G$ on the same space $H$ in terms of a cohomological obstruction.
In this article, we investigate the notion of a Galois object for a locally compact quantum group M. Such an object consists of a von Neumann algebra N equipped with an ergodic integrable coaction of M on N, such that the crossed product is a type I factor. We show how to construct from such a coaction a new locally compact quantum group P, which we call the reflection of M along N. By way of application, we prove the following statement: any twisting of a locally compact quantum group by a unitary 2-cocycle is again a locally compact quantum group.
In this paper we study the unitary equivalence between Hilbert modules over a locally C*-algebra. Also, we prove a stabilization theorem for countably generated modules over an arbitrary locally C*-algebra and show that a Hilbert module over a Frechet locally C*-algebra is countably generated if and only if the locally C*-algebra of all ''compact'' operators has an approximate unit.
Let $\G$ be a unimodular type I second countable locally compact group and $\wG$ its unitary dual. Motivated by a recent pseudo-differential calculus, we develop a positive Berezin-type quantization with operator-valued symbols defined on $\wG\times\G$.
Let G be a locally compact group and rho a non-unitary finite dimensional representation of G. We consider tensor products of rho by some unitary representations of G in order to define two Banach algebras analogous to the group C*-algebras, C*(G) and C*_r(G). We calculate the K-theory of such algebras for a large class of groups satisfying the Baum-Connes conjecture.
Admissible vectors for unitary representations of locally compact groups are the basis for group-frame and covariant coherent state expansions. Main tools in the study of admissible vectors have been Plancherel and central integral decomposition, of applicability only under certain separability and semifiniteness restrictions. In this work we present a study of admissible vectors in terms of convolution Hilbert algebras valid for arbitrary unitary representations of general locally compact groups.
In this paper we associate to every reduced C*-algebraic quantum group A a universal C*-algebraic quantum group. We fine tune a proof of Kirchberg to show that every *-representation of a modified L1-space is generated by a unitary corepresentation. By taking the universal enveloping C*-algebra of a dense sub *-algebra of A we arrive at the uinversal C*-algebra. We show that this universal C*-algebra carries a quantum group structure which is as rich as its reduced companion.
In this short article, we obtained some equivalent formulations of property $T$ for a general locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, in terms of the full quantum group $C^*$-algebras $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$ and the $*$-representation of $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\widehat{\mathbb{G}})$ associated with the trivial unitary corepresentation (that generalize the corresponding results for locally compact groups). Moreover, if $\mathbb{G}$ is of Kac type, we show that $\mathbb{G}$ has property $T$ if and only if every finite dimensional irreducible $*$-representation of $C_0^\mathrm{u}(\wid…
Let $\mathbf{G}$ be an algebraic group over a local field $\mathbf k$ of characteristic zero. We show that the locally compact group $\mathbf G(\mathbf k)$ consisting of the $\mathbf k$-rational points of $\mathbf G$ is of type I. Moreover, we complete Lipsman's characterization of the groups $\mathbf G$ for which every irreducible unitary representation of $\mathbf G(\mathbf k)$ is a CCR representation and show at the same time that such groups $\mathbf G(\mathbf k)$ are trace class as studied recently by Deitmar and van Dijk.
Using methods coming from non-formal equivariant quantization, we construct in this short note a unitary dual 2-cocycle on a discrete family of quotient groups of subgroups of the affine group of a local field (which is not of characteristic 2, nor an extension of $\mathbb{Q}_2$). Using results of De Commer about Galois objects in operator algebras, we obtain new examples of locally compact quantum groups in the setting of von Neumann algebras.

We study the essential spectrum and Fredholm properties of integral and pseudodiferential operators associated to (maybe non-commutative) locally compact groups G. The techniques involve crossed product C*-algebras. We extend previous results on the structure of the essential spectrum to operators belonging (or affiliated) to the Schrödinger representation of certain crossed products. When the group G is unimodular and type I, we cover a new class of pseudo-differential differential operators with operator-valued symbols involving the unitary dual of G. We use recent results on the role of fam…
Let $G$ be a unimodular type I second countable locally compact group and $\hat G$ its unitary dual. We introduce and study a global pseudo-differential calculus for operator-valued symbols defined on $G\times\hat G$, and its relations to suitably defined Wigner transforms and Weyl systems. We also unveil its connections with crossed products $C^*$-algebras associated to certain $C^*$-dynamical systems, and apply it to the spectral analysis of covariant families of operators. Applications are given to nilpotent Lie groups, in which case we relate quantizations with operator-valued and scalar-v…
For $φ$ a normalized positive definite function on a locally compact abelian group $G$, we consider on the one hand the unitary representation $π_φ$ associated to $φ$ by the GNS construction, on the other hand the probability measure $μ_φ$ on the Pontryagin dual $\hat{G}$ provided by Bochner's theorem. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the vanishing of 1-cohomology $H^1(G,π_φ)$ and reduced 1-cohomology $\bar{H}^1(G,π_φ)$. For example, $\bar{H}^1(G,π_φ)=0$ if and only if either $Hom(G,\mathbb{C})=0$ or $μ_φ(1_G)=0$, where $1_G$ is the trivial character of $G$.
Consider a compact locally symmetric space $M$ of rank $r$, with fundamental group $Γ$. The von Neumann algebra $\vn(Γ)$ is the convolution algebra of functions $f\in\ell_2(Γ)$ which act by left convolution on $\ell_2(Γ)$. Let $T^r$ be a totally geodesic flat torus of dimension $r$ in $M$ and let $Γ_0\cong\bb Z^r$ be the image of the fundamental group of $T^r$ in $Γ$. Then $\vn(Γ_0)$ is a maximal abelian $\star$-subalgebra of $\vn(Γ)$ and its unitary normalizer is as small as possible. If $M$ has constant negative curvature then the Pukánszky invariant of $\vn(Γ_0)$ is $\infty$.
We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected simple Lie groups of real rank one, the crossed product has a unique Cartan subalgebra up to unitary conjugacy. We then deduce a W* strong rigidity theorem for irreducible actions of products of such groups. More generally, our results hold for products of locally compact groups that are nonamenable, weakly amenable and that belong to Ozawa's class S.
We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the noncommutative Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg splitting theorem of Runde and the author ["Ergodic theory for quantum semigroups", J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 89 (2014) 941-959]. Furthermore, a relation between mixing and weak mixing of state-preserving actions of discrete quantum groups and the properties of certain inclusions of von Neumann algebras, which is known…
