  1. The Fell compactification and non-Hausdorff groupoids.

    Authors: Thomas Timmermann

    Abstract

    A compactification of Fell is applied to locally compact non-Hausdorff
    groupoids and yields locally compact Hausdorff groupoids. In the etale case,
    this construction provides a geometric picture for the left-regular
    representations introduced by Khoshkam and Skandalis.

  2. Coactions of Hopf C*-bimodules.

    Abstract

    Coactions of Hopf C*-bimodules simultaneously generalize coactions of Hopf
    C*-algebras and actions of groupoids. Following an approach of Baaj and
    Skandalis, we construct reduced crossed products and establish a duality for
    fine coactions. Examples of coactions arise from Fell bundles on groupoids and
    actions of a groupoid on bundles of C*-algebras. Continuous Fell bundles on an
    etale groupoid correspond to coactions of the reduced groupoid algebra, and
    actions of a groupoid on a continuous bundle of C*-algebras correspond to
    coactions of the function algebra.

  3. C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and Hopf C*-bimodules.

    Authors: Thomas Timmermann
    Subjects: Operator Algebras
    Abstract

    We introduce C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and concrete Hopf
    C*-bimodules for the study of quantum groupoids in the setting of C*-algebras.
    These unitaries and Hopf C*-bimodules generalize multiplicative unitaries and
    Hopf C*-algebras and are analogues of the pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and
    Hopf--von Neumann-bimod-ules studied by Enock, Lesieur and Vallin. To each
    C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitary, we associate two Fourier algebras with a
    duality pairing, a C*-tensor category of representations, and in the regular
    case two reduced and two universal Hopf C*-bimodules.
