Coactions of Hopf $C^*$-algebras on Cuntz-Pimsner algebras (1407.6106v2)

Abstract: Unifying two notions of an action and coaction of a locally compact group on a $C^*$-cor-re-spond-ence we introduce a coaction $(\sigma,\delta)$ of a Hopf $C^*$-algebra $S$ on a $C^*$-cor-re-spond-ence $(X,A)$. We show that this coaction naturally induces a coaction $\zeta$ of $S$ on the associated Cuntz-Pimsner algebra $\mathcal{O}X$ under the weak $\delta$-invariancy for the ideal $J_X$. When the Hopf $C^*$-algebra $S$ is defined by a well-behaved multiplicative unitary, we construct a $C^*$-cor-re-spond-ence $(X\rtimes\sigma\widehat{S},A\rtimes_\delta\widehat{S})$ from $(\sigma,\delta)$ and show that it has a representation on the reduced crossed product $\mathcal{O}X\rtimes\zeta\widehat{S}$ by the induced coaction $\zeta$. This representation is used to prove an isomorphism between the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}X\rtimes\zeta\widehat{S}$ and the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra $\mathcal{O}{X\rtimes\sigma\widehat{S}}$ under the covariance assumption which is guaranteed in particular if the ideal $J_{X\rtimes_\sigma\widehat{S}}$ of $A\rtimes_\delta\widehat{S}$ is generated by the canonical image of $J_X$ in $M(A\rtimes_\delta\widehat{S})$ or the left action on $X$ by $A$ is injective. Under this covariance assumption, our results extend the isomorphism result known for actions of amenable groups to arbitrary locally compact groups. The Cuntz-Pimsner covariance condition which was assumed for the same isomorphism result concerning group coactions is shown to be redundant.
