Popis: We introduce a construction in which a linear operator on a compact quantum group, which is supposed to become Laplacian, induces a bicovariant first order differential calculus equipped with a nondegenerate sesquilinear form with respect to which the linear operator is expressed as the ``square" of the differential. When applied to a classical Laplacian on a compact Lie group, the induced first order differential calculus is the classical differential calculus, as it should be. We further apply this construction to the $q$-deformation $K_q$ of a simply connected compact semisimple Lie group $K$ and (1) show that all finite dimensional bicovariant first order differential calculi on $K_q$ are induced by some linear operators, (2) explicitly compute the eigenvalues of these linear operators over the Peter-Weyl decomposition of $K_q$, which enables us to single out among them those that converge to a classical Laplacian on $K$ as $q \rightarrow 1$, in light of which we call them ``$q$-Laplacians", (3) prove that all differential calculi induced by $q$-Laplacians converge to the same classical first order differential calculus on $K$, and (4) show that the heat semigroups generated by $q$-Laplacians are non-Markovian, i.e., operators in the semigroups are not completely positive. The Last result suggests that stochastic processes on $K_q$ that are most relevant to the geometry of $K_q$ might be the non-Markovian ones.
