    Quantum automorphism groups of small metric spaces

    Full text link
    To any finite metric space XX we associate the universal Hopf \c^*-algebra HH coacting on XX. We prove that spaces XX having at most 7 points fall into one of the following classes: (1) the coaction of HH is not transitive; (2) HH is the algebra of functions on the automorphism group of XX; (3) XX is a simplex and HH corresponds to a Temperley-Lieb algebra; (4) XX is a product of simplexes and HH corresponds to a Fuss-Catalan algebra.Comment: 22 page
