Mini-Workshop: Operator Algebraic Quantum Groups

Abstract

This 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*- 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.
