Abstract: We present other examples illustrating the operator-theoretic approach to invariant integrals on quantum homogeneous spaces developed by Kuersten and the second author. The quantum spaces are chosen such that their coordinate algebras do not admit bounded Hilbert space representations and their self-adjoint generators have continuous spectrum. Operator algebras of trace class operators are associated to the coordinate algebras which allow interpretations as rapidly decreasing functions and as finite functions. The invariant integral is defined as a trace functional which generalizes the well-known quantum trace. We argue that previous algebraic methods would fail for these examples.


\textit{D. L. Shklyarov} et al. [Czech. J. Phys. 50, No. 1, 175--180 (2000; Zbl 0979.17008)] studied noncommutative analogues of bounded symmetric domains of non-compact type. The corresponding noncommutative algebras can be described by stating the commutation relations of their generators which can be viewed as coordinate functions. To define quantum spaces, the approach of Shklyarov, Sinel'shchikov and Vaksman is almost completely algebraic. On the other hand, Hilbert space representations of the coordinate algebras provide a systematic tool for exploring topological questions. This observation was the starting point for the operator-theoretic approach to invariant integrals proposed by \textit{K.-D. Kürsten} and \textit{E. Wagner} [Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 43, No. 1, 1--37 (2007; Zbl 1146.46041)]. The use of operator-theoretic methods allows to adjoin a wider class of integrable functions, and works for all Hilbert space representations in the same way.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors provide an example that can easily be treated by the operator-theoretic approach developed in [Zbl 1146.46041] but for which purely algebraic methods seem to fail. The authors take the same coordinate algebras and change only the involution and the values of the deformation parameter. The corresponding quantum spaces are known as real quantum hyperboloid and real \(q\)-Weyl algebra. The difference of the involution has profound consequences: there do not exist bounded Hilbert space \(*\)-representations, and the \(*\)-representations of the coordinate algebra are determined by self-adjoint operators with continuous spectrum [\textit{K. Schmüdgen}, Commun. Math. Phys. 159, No. 2, 217--237 (1994; Zbl 0822.46064); J. Math. Phys. 35, No. 6, 3211--3229 (1994; Zbl 0805.47039)]. This impedes the description of integrable functions as finite functions of the self-adjoint generators since these operators are not of trace class and the generalized quantum trace will not exist on them. Nevertheless, the authors show that the methods from [Zbl 1146.46041] can be applied even in this situation.NEWLINENEWLINEThe paper is systematically well-organized.
