Characters of infinite-dimensional quantum classical groups: BCD cases

We study the character theory of inductive limits of [Formula: see text]-deformed classical compact groups. In particular, we clarify the relationship between the representation theory of Drinfeld–Jimbo quantized universal enveloping algebras and our previous work on the quantized characters. We also apply the character theory to construct Markov semigroups on unitary duals of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and their inductive limits.

Complete Gradient Estimates of Quantum Markov Semigroups

In this article we introduce a complete gradient estimate for symmetric quantum Markov semigroups on von Neumann algebras equipped with a normal faithful tracial state, which implies semi-convexity of the entropy with respect to the recently introduced noncommutative 2-Wasserstein distance. We show that this complete gradient estimate is stable under tensor products and free products and establish its validity for a number of examples. As an application we prove a complete modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality with optimal constant for Poisson-type semigroups on free group factors.

Generalized Dobrushin Coefficients on Banach Spaces

The asymptotic behavior of iterates of bounded linear operators (not necessarily positive), acting on Banach spaces, is studied. Through the Dobrushin ergodicity coefficient, we generalize some ergodic theorems obtained earlier for classical Markov semigroups acting on $$L^1$$ L 1 (or positive operators on abstract state spaces).

Uniform and Completely Nonequilibrium Invariant States for Weak Coupling Limit Type Quantum Markov Semigroups Associated with Eulerian Cycles

We define the uniform and completely nonequilibrium invariant states, which are associated with Eulerian cycles; once we did this, we use the Hierholzer’s algorithm to obtain a canonical Euler-Hierholzer cycle, and for it, characterize the invariant state. For the simplest case of nonequilibrium, we give sufficient conditions for these states to be invariant and write its eigenvalues explicitly.

RIESZ TRANSFORMS ON COMPACT QUANTUM GROUPS AND STRONG SOLIDITY

One of the main aims of this paper is to give a large class of strongly solid compact quantum groups. We do this by using quantum Markov semigroups and noncommutative Riesz transforms. We introduce a property for quantum Markov semigroups of central multipliers on a compact quantum group which we shall call ‘approximate linearity with almost commuting intertwiners’. We show that this property is stable under free products, monoidal equivalence, free wreath products and dual quantum subgroups. Examples include in particular all the (higher-dimensional) free orthogonal easy quantum groups. We then show that a compact quantum group with a quantum Markov semigroup that is approximately linear with almost commuting intertwiners satisfies the immediately gradient- ${\mathcal {S}}_2$ condition from [10] and derive strong solidity results (following [10]). Using the noncommutative Riesz transform we also show that these quantum groups have the Akemann–Ostrand property; in particular, the same strong solidity results follow again (now following [27]).
