Modelling questions for quantum permutations

Abstract

Given a quantum permutation group $G\subset S_N^{+}$, with orbits having the same size $K$, we construct a universal matrix model $\pi :C(G)\to M_K(C(X))$, having the property that the images of the standard coordinates $u_{ij}\in C(G)$ are projections of rank $\le 1$. Our conjecture is that this model is inner faithful under suitable algebraic assumptions, and is in addition stationary under suitable analytic assumptions. We prove this conjecture for the classical groups, and for several key families of group duals.
