Amenability properties of unitary co-representations of locally compact quantum groups
Abstract
For locally compact quantum groups 𝔾, we initiate an investigation of stable states with respect to unitary co-representations U of 𝔾 on Hilbert spaces HU; in particular, we study the subject on the multiplicative unitary operator W𝔾 of 𝔾 with some examples on locally compact quantum groups arising from discrete groups and compact groups. As the main result, we consider the one co-dimensional Hilbert subspace of HU associated to a suitable vector η, to present an operator theoretic characterization of stable states with respect to a related unitary co-representation Uη. This provides a quantum version of an interesting result on unitary representations of locally compact groups given by Lau and Paterson in 1991.
