Uniformity and isotypic smallness for quantum-group representations

Abstract: Compact-group representations on Banach spaces are known to be norm-continuous precisely when they have finite spectra. For a quantum group with continuous-function algebra $\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{G})$ norm continuity can be cast analogously as the bounded weak$^*$-norm continuity of the representation's attached map $\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{G})^*\to \mathrm{End}(E)$. While the uniformity/isotypic finiteness equivalence no longer holds generally, it does for compact quantum groups either coamenable or having dimension-bounded irreducible representations. This generalizes the aforementioned classical variant, providing two independent quantum-specific mechanisms of recovering it.
