Toric vector bundles

Alfons van Daele (Leuven) will give a talk with title: The Haar measure on quantum groups

Abstract: At this moment, there is no theory of locally compact quantum groups with axioms from which one can prove the existence of the Haar weights. In general, the existence is part of the axioms. There are however a few cases where the existence can be proven. This is true for compact quantum groups and for discrete quantum groups. We will discuss some aspects of these proofs and see which of them are useful in the general case.

Prof. Paul Switzer (Stanford, Dept. of Statistics) will give a seminar in the lunch area, 8th floor N.H. Abel's House at 14:15 October 20th.
