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.

Inductive limits of quasi locally Baire spaces

Quasi-locally complete locally convex spaces are generalized to quasi-locally Baire locally convex spaces. It is shown that an inductive limit of strictly webbed spaces is regular if it is quasi-locally Baire. This extends Qiu’s theorem on regularity. Additionally, if each step is strictly webbed and quasi-locally Baire, then the inductive limit is quasi-locally Baire if it is regular. Distinguishing examples are provided.

A revised augmented Cuntz semigroup

We revise the construction of the augmented Cuntz semigroup functor used by the first author to classify inductive limits of $1$-dimensional noncommutative CW complexes. The original construction has good functorial properties when restricted to the class of C*-algebras of stable rank one. The construction proposed here has good properties for all C*-algebras: we show that the augmented Cuntz semigroup is a stable, continuous, split exact functor, from the category of C*-algebras to the category of Cu-semigroups.

INDUCTIVE LIMITS OF C*-ALGEBRAS AND COMPACT QUANTUM METRIC SPACES

Given a unital inductive limit of C*-algebras for which each C*-algebra of the inductive sequence comes equipped with a Rieffel compact quantum metric, we produce sufficient conditions to build a compact quantum metric on the inductive limit from the quantum metrics on the inductive sequence by utilizing the completeness of the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity of Latrémolière on compact quantum metric spaces. This allows us to place new quantum metrics on all unital approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras that extend our previous work with Latrémolière on unital AF algebras with faithful tracial state. As a consequence, we produce a continuous image of the entire Fell topology on the ideal space of any unital AF algebra in the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity topology.
