Lévy–Khintchine decompositions for generating functionals on algebras associated to universal compact quantum groups
Abstract
We study the first and second cohomology groups of the ∗-algebras of the universal unitary and orthogonal quantum groups U+F and O+F. This provides valuable information for constructing and classifying Lévy processes on these quantum groups, as pointed out by Schürmann. In the case when all eigenvalues of F∗F are distinct, we show that these ∗-algebras have the properties (GC), (NC) and (LK) introduced by Schürmann and studied recently by Franz, Gerhold and Thom. In the degenerate case F=Id, we show that they do not have any of these properties. We also compute the second cohomology group of U+d with trivial coefficients — H2(U+d,𝜖ℂ𝜖)≅ℂd2−1 — and construct an explicit basis for the corresponding second cohomology group for O+d (whose dimension was known earlier, thanks to the work of Collins, Härtel and Thom).
