Integration over the quantum diagonal subgroup and associated Fourier-like algebras

By analogy with the classical construction due to Forrest, Samei and Spronk, we associate to every compact quantum group G, a completely contractive Banach algebra A(Delta) (G), which can be viewed as a deformed Fourier algebra of G. To motivate the construction, we first analyze in detail the quantum version of the integration over the diagonal subgroup, showing that although the quantum diagonal subgroups in fact never exist, as noted earlier by Kasprzak and Soltan, the corresponding integration represented by a certain idempotent state on C(G) makes sense as long as G is of Kac type. Finally, we analyze as an explicit example the algebras A(Delta) (O-N(+)), N >= 2, associated to Wang's free orthogonal groups, and show that they are not operator weakly amenable.
