Recent results of M. Junge and Q. Xu on the ergodic properties of the averages of kernels in noncommutative -spaces are applied to the analysis of almost uniform convergence of operators induced by convolutions on compact quantum groups.
Two different models for a Hopf-von Neumann algebra of bounded functions on the quantum semigroup of all (quantum) permutations of infinitely many elements are proposed, one based on projective limits of enveloping von Neumann algebras related to finite quantum permutation groups, and the second on a universal property with respect to infinite magic unitaries.
We find an analytic formulation of the notion of Hopf image, in terms of the associated idempotent state. More precisely, if π:A → Mₙ(ℂ) is a finite-dimensional representation of a Hopf C*-algebra, we prove that the idempotent state associated to its Hopf image A' must be the convolution Cesàro limit of the linear functional φ = tr ∘ π. We then discuss some consequences of this result, notably to inner linearity questions.
We summarise recent results concerning quantum stochastic convolution cocycles in two contexts-purely algebraic and C*-algebraic. In each case the class of cocycles arising as the solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation is characterised and the form taken by the stochastic generator of a *-homomorphic cocycle is described. Throughout the paper a common viewpoint on the algebraic and C*-algebraic situations is emphasised; the final section treats the unifying example of convolution...
