Completely bounded representations of convolution algebras of locally compact quantum groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a locally compact quantum group mathbbG, we study the structure of completely bounded homomorphisms pi:L1(mathbbG)ightarrowmathcalB(H), and the question of when they are similar to ast-homomorphisms. By analogy with the cocommutative case (representations of the Fourier algebra A(G)), we are led to consider the associated map pi:Ls1harp(mathbbG)ightarrowmathcalB(H) given by pi(omega)=pi(omegasharp). We show that the corepresentation Vpi of Linfty(mathbbG) associated to pi is invertible if and only if both pi and pi are completely bounded. Moreover, we show that the co-efficient operators of such representations give rise to completely bounded multipliers of the dual convolution algebra L1(hatmathbbG). An application of these results is that any (co)isometric corepresentation is automatically unitary. An averaging argument then shows that when mathbbG is amenable, pi is similar to a *-homomorphism if and only if pi is completely bounded. For compact Kac algebras, and for certain cases of A(G), we show that any completely bounded homomorphism pi is similar to a *-homomorphism, without further assumption on pi. Using free product techniques, we construct new examples of compact quantum groups mathbbG such that L1(mathbbG) admits bounded, but not completely bounded, representations.
