Quantum invariant measures (Q5956421)

The authors give an explicit expression for the Haar integral on the quantized algebra of regular functions on a compact real form \(K\) of an algebraic group \(G\). If \(G\) is a simple algebraic group and \(K\) a compact real form of \(G\), the complex conjugation in \(\mathbb{C}[K]\) gives rise to a Hopf algebra \(\mathbb{C}_q[K]\), called the quantized algebra of regular functions on \(K\). In this paper, the authors begin with standard facts about quantized function algebras and their representations. Then, they obtain an explicit expression for the Haar integral on \(\mathbb{C}_q[K]\), in terms of the irreducible *-representations of the Hopf *-algebra \(\mathbb{C}_q[K]\). Quantum analogs of the measures on the symplectic leaves of the standard Poisson structure on \(K\) are obtained. An application to quantum analogs of Harish-Chandra \(c\)-functions, related to the elements of the Weyl group, is also given.
