Summary
"This book provides an introduction to the theory of quantum groups with emphasis on their duality and on the setting of operator algebras. The book is addressed to graduate students and non-experts from other fields. Only basic knowledge of (multi- )linear algebra is required for the first part, while the second and third part assume some familiarity with Hilbert spaces, C[superscript *]-algebras, and von Neumann algebras."--Jacket.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [385]-396) and index.
