For compact matrix quantum groups, which can be thought of as quantum analogues of compact Lie groups, we prove that the inner automorphism group is a compact Lie group and the outer automorphism group is discrete. Applications of this to the study of group actions on compact quantum groups are highlighted. We end with the construction of a compact matrix quantum group whose fusion ring is not finitely generated, unlike the classical case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-14T07:10:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "compact quantum groups", "topological automorphism groups", "compact matrix quantum group", "compact lie group", "automorphism group coincide" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
