finite quantum group (Definition)
Definition 0.1   A finite quantum group $Q_{Gf}$ is a pair $(\mathbb{H},\Phi)$ of a finite-dimensional $C^*$ -algebra $\mathbb{H}$ with a comultiplication $ \Phi$ such that $(\mathbb{H},\Phi)$ is a Hopf $^*$ -algebra.

Note that one obtains the dual Hopf algebra of a commutative, finite quantum group via Fourier transformation of the group's elements.
