On positive definiteness over locally compact quantum groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The notion of positive-definite functions over locally compact quantum groups was recently introduced and studied by Daws and Salmi. Based on this work, we generalize various well-known results about positive-definite functions over groups to the quantum framework. Among these are theorems on "square roots" of positive-definite functions, comparison of various topologies, positive-definite measures and characterizations of amenability, and the separation property with respect to compact quantum subgroups.


The purpose of this paper is to extend various properties of positive-definite functions from groups to quantum groups. The authors start from the notions of positive definiteness on locally compact quantum groups introduced in [\textit{M. Daws}, Int. J. Math. 23, No. 12, Paper No. 1250132, 23 p. (2012; Zbl 1282.43002)] and [\textit{M. Daws} and \textit{P. Salmi}, J. Funct. Anal. 264, No. 7, 1525--1546 (2013; Zbl 1320.46056)] and prove in the settings of locally compact quantum groups exciting results. ``Among these are theorems on ``square roots of positive-definite functions, comparison of various topologies, positive-definite measures and characterizations of amenability, and the separation property with respect to compact quantum subgroups.
