Hecke algebras and the Schlichting completion for discrete quantum groups

Abstract: In recent joint work with Skalski and Voigt we construct and study the Hecke algebra and Hecke operators associated with an almost normal subgroup in a discrete quantum group. We also give in this framework a quantum version of the Schlichting completion, which yields an algebraic quantum group with a compact-open subgroup. We describe a class of examples arising from HNN extensions.

Quantum Groups Seminar [QGS]

Series comments: This seminar aims to bring together experts in the area of quantum groups. The seminar topics will cover the theory of quantum groups and related structures in a large sense: Hopf algebras, operator algebras, q-deformations, higher categories and related branches of noncommutative mathematics.

The zoom link will be distributed by mail, so please join the mailing list if you are interested in attending the seminar.
