Abstract
Given a convolution semigroup of states on a compact quantum group, can its generating functional be expressed as the sum of a `gaussian’ generating functional and a `wholly non-gaussian’ one – in short, does it have a Levy-Khintchine type decomposition? A key new tool for addressing this question is the notion of approximate innerness for derivations on the Hopf -algebra of the quantum group with respect to a -algebra representation and the counit. A satisfactory, and positive, answer is found in the case of certain classes of q-deformed compact Lie groups. The talk is based on joint work with Uwe Franz, Anna Kula and Michael Skeide.
