Abstract

We determine a substantial part of the unitary representation theory of the Drinfeld double of a q-deformation of a compact Lie group in terms of the complexification of the compact Lie group. Using this, we show that the dual of every q-deformation of a higher rank compact Lie group has central property (T). We also determine the unitary dual of \({SL_q(n,\mathbb{C})}\).
