A Khintchine inequality for central Fourier series on non-Kac compact quantum groups (2408.13519v1)

Abstract: The study of Khintchin inequalities has a long history in abstract harmonic analysis. While there is almost no possibility of non-trivial Khintchine inequality for central Fourier series on compact connected semisimple Lie groups, we demonstrate a strong contrast within the framework of compact quantum groups. Specifically, we establish a Khintchine inequality with operator coefficients for arbitrary central Fourier series in a large class of non-Kac compact quantum groups. The main examples include the Drinfeld-Jimbo $q$-deformations $G_q$, the free orthogonal quantum groups $O_F^+$, and the quantum automorphism group $G_{aut}(B,\psi)$ with a $\delta$-form $\psi$.
