Random walk on monoidal categories and classification of
compact quantum groups
Motivated by Izumi's noncommutative Poisson boundary for
discrete quantum groups, we define the notion of categorical Poisson
boundary for C*-tensor categories with duality and irreducible unit.
Motivated by subfactor theory we show that this construction has a
universality property for the amenable tensor functors. As an
application, we obtain a classification result which implies that any
compact quantum group with noninvolutive antipode and the same
combinatorial data of representations as SU(n) essentially arises as a
strict quantization for a Poisson-Lie group structure on SU(n).
This
talk is based on joint work with S. Neshveyev.
