For finite groups $X$, $G$ and the right $G$-action on $X$ by group automorphisms, the non-balanced quantum double $D(X;G)$ is defined as the crossed product ${\left(ℂX^{\mathrm{op}}\right)}^{*}⋊ℂG$. We firstly prove that $D(X;G)$ is a finite-dimensional Hopf $C^{*}$-algebra. For any subgroup $H$ of $G$, $D(X;H)$ can be defined as a Hopf $C^{*}$-subalgebra of $D(X;G)$ in the natural way. Then there is a conditonal expectation from $D(X;G)$ onto $D(X;H)$ and the index is $[G;H]$. Moreover, we prove that an associated natural inclusion of non-balanced quantum doubles is the crossed product by the...

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup. Denote by $D(G;H)$ (or $D\left(G\right)$) the crossed product of $C\left(G\right)$ and $ℂH$ (or $ℂG$) with respect to the adjoint action of the latter on the former. Consider the algebra $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ generated by $D\left(G\right)$ and $e$, where we regard $E$ as an idempotent operator $e$ on $D\left(G\right)$ for a certain conditional expectation $E$ of $D\left(G\right)$ onto $D(G;H)$. Let us call $\langle D\left(G\right),e\rangle$ the basic construction from the conditional expectation $E:D\left(G\right)\to D(G;H)$. The paper constructs a crossed product algebra $C(G/H\times G)⋊ℂG$, and proves that there is an algebra isomorphism between...

We give a complete classification of right coideal subalgebras that contain all grouplike elements for the quantum group $U_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$ provided that $q$ is not a root of 1. If $q$ has a finite multiplicative order $t>4$; this classification remains valid for homogeneous right coideal subalgebras of the Frobenius–Lusztig kernel $u_q^{+}\left({\mathrm{𝔰𝔬}}_{2n+1}\right)$. In particular, the total number of right coideal subalgebras that contain the coradical equals $\left(2n\right)!!$; the order of the Weyl group defined by the root system of type $B_n$.

We introduce a method for construction of a covariant differential calculus over a Hopf algebra $A$ from a quantized calculus $da=[D,a]$, $a\in A$, where $D$ is a candidate for a Dirac operator for $A$. We recover the method of construction of a bicovariant differential calculus given by T. Brzeziński and S. Majid created from a central element of the dual Hopf algebra $A^{\circ }$. We apply this method to the Dirac operator for the quantum $\mathrm{SL}\left(2\right)$ given by S. Majid. We find that the differential calculus obtained by our...

Let $𝕍$ be a separable real Hilbert space, $k\in \mathbb{N}$ with $k<dim𝕍$, and let $B$ be convex and closed in $𝕍$. Let $𝒫$ be a collection of linear $k$-subspaces of $𝕍$. A point $w\in B$ is called exposed by $𝒫$ if there is a $P\in 𝒫$ so that $(w+P)\cap B=\left\{w\right\}$. We show that, under some natural conditions, $B$ can be reconstituted as the convex hull of the closure of all its exposed by $𝒫$ points whenever $𝒫$ is dense and $G_{\delta }$. In addition, we discuss the question when the set of exposed by some $𝒫$ points forms a $G_{\delta }$-set.

Let $\mathscr{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space, $A$ a positive operator with closed range in $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ and ${ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ the sub-algebra of $ℬ\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ of all $A$-self-adjoint operators. Assume $\phi :{ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$ onto itself is a linear continuous map. This paper shows that if $\phi$ preserves $A$-unitary operators such that $\phi \left(I\right)=P$ then $\psi$ defined by $\psi \left(T\right)=P\phi \left(PT\right)$ is a homomorphism or an anti-homomorphism and $\psi \left(T^{♯}\right)=\psi {\left(T\right)}^{♯}$ for all $T\in {ℬ}_A\left(\mathscr{H}\right)$, where $P=A^{+}A$ and $A^{+}$ is the Moore-Penrose inverse of $A$. A similar result is also true if $\phi$ preserves $A$-quasi-unitary operators in both directions such that there...

A cluster ensemble is a pair $(𝒳,𝒜)$ of positive spaces (i.e. varieties equipped with positive atlases), coming with an action of a symmetry group $\Gamma$. The space $𝒜$ is closely related to the spectrum of a cluster algebra [12]. The two spaces are related by a morphism $p:𝒜\to 𝒳$. The space $𝒜$ is equipped with a closed $2$-form, possibly degenerate, and the space $𝒳$ has a Poisson structure. The map $p$ is compatible with these structures. The dilogarithm together with its motivic and quantum avatars plays a central...

We characterise the boundedness of the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of a sectorial operator in terms of dilation theorems. We show e. g. that if $-A$ generates a bounded analytic $C_0$ semigroup $\left(T_t\right)$ on a UMD space, then the $H^{\infty }$ calculus of $A$ is bounded if and only if $\left(T_t\right)$ has a dilation to a bounded group on $L^2([0,1],X)$. This generalises a Hilbert space result of C.LeMerdy. If $X$ is an $L^p$ space we can choose another $L^p$ space in place of $L^2([0,1],X)$.

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

In this paper we prove the following theorems in incidence geometry. 1. There is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le n^{(1+\delta )/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then $P_1,\cdots ,P_4$ are collinear. If the number of the distinct lines is $<c{n}^{1/2}$ then the cross ratio of the four points is algebraic. 2. Given $c>0$, there is $\delta >0$ such that for any $P_1,P_2,P_3\in {ℂ}^2$ noncollinear, and $Q_1,\cdots ,Q_n\in {ℂ}^2$, if there are $\le c{n}^{1/2}$ many distinct lines between $P_i$ and $Q_j$ for all $i$, $j$, then for any $P\in {ℂ}^2\setminus \{P_1,P_2,P_3\}$, we have $\delta n$ distinct lines between $P$ and $Q_j$. 3.
