Rieffel type discrete deformation of finite quantum groups (Q1809308)

The author introduces a discrete deformation of Rieffel type for finite quantum groups and, using this, gives an example of a finite quantum group \(A\) of order 18 such that neither \(A\) nor its dual can be expressed as a crossed product of the form \(C(G_1)\bowtie_\tau G_2\) with \(G_1\) and \(G_2\) ordinary finite groups. Also, a deformation of finite groups of Lie type is given by using their maximal abelian subgroups. The main results are as follows: (i) Let \(A\) be a finite-dimensional unital \(C^*\)-algebra, \(H\) a finite abelian group acting on \(A\) by automorphisms, \(J\in \text{GL}(H)\) a skewsymmetric automorphism: \(J^t= -J\). Then \(A_J\) is a unital \(C^*\)-algebra under the norm \(\|\cdot\|_J\). (ii) Under the coproduct \(\Phi\) of \(A\), the deformation \((A,\times_J)\) is still a finite quantum group \(T\) as a subgroup.
