Category of non-crossing partitions with small blocks

The category of non-crossing partitions with small blocks is a a Banica-Speicher category of partitions inducing the corepresentation category of the free bistochastic quantum groups.

Definition

By the category of non-crossing partitions with small blocks one denotes the subcategory of the category of all partitions $\Pscr$ whose morphism set is the set of all non-crossing partitions with small blocks. It was introduced by Banica and Speicher in [BanSp09].

Canonical generator

The category of all non-crossing partitions with small blocks is the subcategory of $\Pscr$ generated by the partition $\singleton$.

Associated easy quantum group

Via Tannaka-Krein duality for compact quantum groups, the category of all non-crossing partitions with small blocks corresponds to the family $(B^{+}_N)_{N\in \N}$ of free bistochastic quantum groups.
