Around the Approximation Property for Quantum Groups

Abstract: I will introduce what the "approximation property" (AP) is for (locally compact) groups, and provide a few applications. I will then talk about how one might give an analogous definition for (locally compact) quantum groups, explaining some of the need technology along the way. Time allowing, I will discuss how the AP interacts with various common constructions, and also about "central" versions and links with tensor categories.

Quantum Groups Seminar [QGS]

Series comments: This online 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 links will be distributed by mail, so please join the mailing list if you are interested in attending the seminar.
