N-determined 2-compact groups

This is the first part of a paper that classifies 2-compact groups. In this first part we formulate a general classification scheme for 2-compact groups in terms of their maximal torus normalizer pairs. We apply this general classification procedure to the simple 2-compact groups of the A-family and show that any simple 2-compact group that is locally isomorphic to PGL(n+ 1,C) is uniquely N -de...

Symplectic Groups Are N - Determined 2 - Compact Groups

We show that for n ≥ 3 the symplectic group Sp(n) is as a 2-compact group determined up to isomorphism by the isomorphism type of its maximal torus normalizer. This allows us to determine the integral homotopy type of Sp(n) among connected finite loop spaces with maximal torus.

This is the second part of a paper about the classification of 2-compact groups. In the first part we set up a general classification procedure and applied it to the simple 2-compact groups of the A-family. In this second part we deal with the other simple Lie groups and with the exotic simple 2-compact group DI(4). We show that all simple 2-compact groups are uniquely N -determined and conclud...

Simple Compact Quantum Groups I

The notion of simple compact quantum group is introduced. As non-trivial (noncommutative and noncocommutative) examples, the following families of compact quantum groups are shown to be simple: (a) The universal quantum groups Bu(Q) for Q ∈ GL(n,C) satisfying QQ̄ = ±In, n ≥ 2; (b) The quantum automorphism groups Aaut(B, τ) of finite dimensional C ∗-algebras B endowed with the canonical trace τ w...
