Rapid decay property of orthogonal free quantum groups

Abstract

Rapid decay property (RD) of discrete groups is a fundamental tool in the study of reduced group C*-algebras, and allows one to compare the operator norm of convolution operators with much simpler l2-norms. This property was studied for orthogonal free quantum groups by means of 'quantum RD' and 'twisted quantum RD', and it was an open question whether or not non-amenable orthogonal free quantum groups satisfy twisted quantum RD. It turns out that this question has the negative answer, but a weakened RD is always satisfied. Moreover, this weakened RD enables us to get (almost) optimal time for ultracontractivity of heat semigroups. This talk is based on recent joint work with Michael Brannan and Roland Vergnioux.
