Liberation theory for noncommutative homogeneous spaces

Abstract

We discuss the liberation question, in the homogeneous space setting. Our first series of results concerns the axiomatization and classification of the families of compact quantum groups $G=(G_N)$ which are "uniform", in a suitable sense. We study then the quotient spaces of type $X=(G_M\times G_N)/(G_L\times G_{M-L}\times G_{N-L})$, and the liberation operation for them, with a number of algebraic and probabilistic results.
