Lattice of idempotent states on a locally compact quantum group (Q2302857)

The authors study lattice operations on the set of idempotent states on a locally compact quantum group corresponding to the operations of intersection of compact subgroups and forming the subgroup generated by two compact subgroups. They investigate normal (\(\sigma\)-weakly continuous) idempotent states and they establish a duality property between normal idempotent states on a locally compact quantum group \({\mathbb G}\) and its dual \(\hat{\mathbb G}\). They also study when a left coideal corresponding canonically to an idempotent state is finite-dimensional. In particular, the authors give a characterization of normal idempotent states on compact quantum groups.
