Quantum permutation groups

Publication date: 20 December 2020

Abstract: The permutation group

S_{N}

has a quantum analogue

S_{N}^{+}

, which is infinite at

N g e q 4

. We review the known facts regarding

S_{N}^{+}

, and notably its easiness property, Weingarten calculus, and the isomorphism

S_{4}^{+} = S O_{3}^{- 1}

and its consequences. We discuss then the structure of the closed subgroups

G s u b s e t S_{N}^{+}

, and notably of the quantum symmetry groups of finite graphs

G^{+} (X) s u b s e t S_{N}^{+}

, with particular attention to the quantum reflection groups

H_{N}^{s +}

. We also discuss, more generally, the quantum symmetry groups

S_{F}^{+}

of the finite quantum spaces

F

, and their closed subgroups

G s u b s e t S_{F}^{+}

, with particular attention to the quantum graph case, and to quantum reflection groups.
