- ItemMini-Workshop: Operator Algebraic Quantum Groups(Zürich : EMS Publ. House, 2019) Caspers, Martijn; Weber, Moritz; Wysoczanska-Kula, AnnaThis mini-workshop brought together a rich and varied cross-section of young and active researchers working on operator algebraic aspects of quantum group theory. The primary goals of this meeting were to highlight the state-of-the-art results on the subject and to trigger new research by advertising some of the main open directions in operator algebraic quantum group theory: classification problems for C$^\ast$- and von Neumann algebras, relations to free/non-commutative probability, applications in quantum information theory, and the creation of new quantum groups and potential classification results for subclasses of quantum groups.
- ItemQuantum symmetry(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach gGmbH, 2020) Caspers, MartijnThe symmetry of objects plays a crucial role in many branches of mathematics and physics. It allowed, for example, the early prediction of the existence of new small particles. “Quantum symmetry” concerns a generalized notion of symmetry. It is an abstract way of characterizing the symmetry of a much richer class of mathematical and physical objects. In this snapshot we explain how quantum symmetry emerges as matrix symmetries using a famous example: Mermin’s magic square. It shows that quantum symmetries can solve problems that lie beyond the reach of classical symmetries, showing that quantum symmetries play a central role in modern mathematics.
