The book provides an introduction to the theory of compact quantum groups,
emphasizing the role of the categorical point of view in constructing and analyzing
concrete examples. The general theory is developed in the first two
chapters and is illustrated with a detailed analysis of free orthogonal quantum
groups and the Drinfeld-Jimbo q-deformations of compact semisimple Lie
groups. The next two chapters are more specialized and concentrate around
the Drinfeld-Kohno theorem, presented from the operator algebraic point
of view. The book should be accessible to students with a basic knowledge of
operator algebras and semisimple Lie groups.
