Abstract: This chapter lays out a framework for discussing (ast)-structures on module-algebras over a Hopf (ast)-algebra (H). We define a complex conjugation functor (V mapsto �ar{V}), which is an involution on the module category (hmod), and discuss its interaction with natural constructions such as direct sums, duality, Hom, and tensor products. We define (ast)-structures first at the level of modules. We say that (V) is a (ast)-module if there is an isomorphism (ast : �ar{V} o V) in (hmod) which is involutive in an appropriate sense. Then we define (ast)-structures on algebras in (hmod) by requiring compatibility with multiplication. We show that a (ast)-structure on a module lifts uniquely to the tensor algebra, and we prove that the tensor algebra has a universal mapping properly for morphisms of (ast)-modules. We also discuss inner products and adjoints in this framework. Finally, we discuss the interaction between (ast)-structures, (R)-matrices, and braidings.
