Summary: Let \(H\) be a Hilbert space. In this article, under appropriate “regularity” conditions, we associate to every multiplicative unitary \(V\in {\mathcal L}(H\otimes H)\), a pair of Hopf \(C^*\)-algebras in duality. We show that the regular representation of the quantum \(E_\mu(2)\) group of Woronowicz is a multiplicative unitary satisfying our conditions and we calculate its covariant representations. We also calculate the Haar measures of \(E_\mu(2)\) and its Pontryagin dual and we give their modular theory.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 0832.00041].
