Remarks on the quantum Bohr compactification

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: The category of locally compact quantum groups can be described as either Hopf -homomorphisms between universal quantum groups, or as bicharacters on reduced quantum groups. We show how So{l}tan's quantum Bohr compactification can be used to construct a ``compactification in this category. Depending on the viewpoint, different C-algebraic compact quantum groups are produced, but the underlying Hopf -algebras are always, canonically, the same. We show that a complicated range of behaviours, with C-completions between the reduced and universal level, can occur even in the cocommutative case, thus answering a question of So{l}tan. We also study such compactifications from the perspective of (almost) periodic functions. We give a definition of a periodic element in Linfty(mathbbG), involving the antipode, which allows one to compute the Hopf -algebra of the compactification of mathbbG; we later study when the antipode assumption can be dropped. In the cocommutative case we make a detailed study of Runde's notion of a completely almost periodic functional-- with a slight strengthening, we show that for [SIN] groups this does recover the Bohr compactification of hatG.
