Finiteness and orbifold Vertex Operator Algebras
In this paper, I investigate the ascending chain condition of right ideals in
the case of vertex operator algebras satisfying a finiteness and/or a
simplicity condition. Possible applications to the study of finiteness of
orbifold VOAs is discussed.Comment: 12 pages, comments are welcom
Connected components of compact matrix quantum groups and finiteness conditions
We introduce the notion of identity component of a compact quantum group and
that of total disconnectedness. As a drawback of the generalized Burnside
problem, we note that totally disconnected compact matrix quantum groups may
fail to be profinite. We consider the problem of approximating the identity
component as well as the maximal normal (in the sense of Wang) connected
subgroup by introducing canonical, but possibly transfinite, sequences of
subgroups. These sequences have a trivial behaviour in the classical case. We
give examples, arising as free products, where the identity component is not
normal and the associated sequence has length 1.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for normality of the identity
component and finiteness or profiniteness of the quantum component group. Among
them, we introduce an ascending chain condition on the representation ring,
called Lie property, which characterizes Lie groups in the commutative case and
reduces to group Noetherianity of the dual in the cocommutative case. It is
weaker than ring Noetherianity but ensures existence of a generating
representation. The Lie property and ring Noetherianity are inherited by
quotient quantum groups. We show that A_u(F) is not of Lie type. We discuss an
example arising from the compact real form of U_q(sl_2) for q<0.Comment: 43 pages. Changes in the introduction. The relation between our and
Wang's notions of central subgroup has been clarifie
