Most random walks on nilpotent groups are mixing
Let G be a second countable locally compact nilpotent group. It is shown that for every norm completely mixing (n.c.m.) random walk μ, αμ + (1-α)ν is n.c.m. for 0 < α ≤ 1, ν ∈ P(G). In particular, a generic stochastic convolution operator on G is n.c.m.
Multiplier Hopf algebras and duality
We define a category containing the discrete quantum groups (and hence the discrete groups and the duals of compact groups) and the compact quantum groups (and hence the compact groups and the duals of discrete groups). The dual of an object can be defined within the same category and we have a biduality theorem. This theory extends the duality between compact quantum groups and discrete quantum groups (and hence the one between compact abelian groups and discrete abelian groups). The objects in...
