A note on Morita equivalence of group actions on pro-\(C^*\)-algebras (Q633916): Difference between revisions

The notion of a pro-\(C^*\)-algebra is a generalization of that of a \(C^*\)-algebra in which the topology on the algebra is defined by a directed family of \(C^*\)-seminorms instead of a single \(C^*\)-norm. The author in [Surv. Math. Appl. 1, 23--32 (2006; Zbl 1124.46042)] showed that two pro-\(C^*\)-algebras \(A\) and \(B\) are strongly Morita equivalent if and only if there is a pro-\(C^*\)-algebra \(C\) such that \(A\) and \(B\) appear as two complementary full corners in \(C\). It was proved by \textit{F. Combes} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 49, 289--306 (1984; Zbl 0521.46058)] that two continuous actions \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) of a locally compact group \(G\) on two \(C^*\)-algebras \(A\) and \(B\) are strongly Morita equivalent if and only if there is a \(C^*\)-algebra \(C\) such that \(A\) and \(B\) appear as two complementary full corners in \(C\) and there is a continuous action \(\gamma\) of \(G\) on \(C\) leaving \(A\) and \(B\) invariant and such that \(\gamma|_A=\alpha\) and \(\gamma|_B=\beta\). In the paper under review, the author extends this result to the case of group continuous inverse limit actions on pro-\(C^*\)-algebras.
