Quantum symmetry in multigraphs (part I)

Debashish Goswami, Sk Asfaq Hossain

Abstract

We introduce various notions of quantum symmetry in a directed or undirected multigraph with no isolated vertex and explore relations among them. If the multigraph is single edged (that is, a simple graph where loops are allowed), all our notions of quantum symmetry reduce to already existing notions of quantum symmetry provided by Bichon and Banica. Our constructions also show that any multigraph with at least two pairs of vertices with multiple edges among them possesses genuine quantum symmetry.

Key Result

Proposition 2.11

The quotient of a compact quantum group $(\mathcal{A},\Delta)$ by a Woronowicz C* ideal $\mathcal{I}$ has a unique compact quantum group structure such that the quotient map $\pi$ is a homomorphism of compact quantum groups. More precisely, the co-product $\tilde{\Delta}$ on $\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{I} where $a\in \mathcal{A}$.
