Twisted Fourier transforms on non-Kac compact quantum groups (2503.23316v1)

Abstract: We introduce an analytic family of twisted Fourier transforms $\left{\mathcal{F}^{(x)}p\right}{x\in \mathbb{R},p\in [1,2)}$ for non-Kac compact quantum groups and establish a sharpened form of the Hausdorff-Young inequality in the range $0\leq x \leq 1$. As an application, we derive a stronger form of the twisted rapid decay property for polynomially growing non-Kac discrete quantum groups, including the duals of the Drinfeld-Jimbo $q$-deformations. Furthermore, we prove that the range $0\leq x \leq 1$ is both necessary and sufficient for the boundedness of $\mathcal{F}^{(x)}_p$ under the assumption of sub-exponential growth on the dual discrete quantum group. We also show that the range of boundedness of $\mathcal{F}^{(x)}_p$ can be strictly extended beyond $[0,1]$ for certain non-Kac and non-coamenable free orthogonal quantum groups.
