Abstract: Given a Fell bundle

m a t h c a l B = {B_{t}}_{t i n G}

over a LCH group and a closed subgroup

H s u b s e t G,

we show that all the *-representations of

m a t h c a l B_{H} := {B_{t}}_{t i n H}

can be induced to *-representations of

m a t h c a l B

by means of Fell's induction process; which we describe as induction via a *-homomorphism

q_{H}^{m a t h c a l B} c o l o n C^{*} (m a t h c a l B) o m a t h b b B (X_{C^{*} (m a t h c a l B_{H})}) .

The quotients

C_{H}^{*} (m a t h c a l B) := q_{H}^{m a t h c a l B} (C^{*} (m a t h c a l B))

are intermediate to

C^{*} (m a t h c a l B) = C_{G}^{*} (m a t h c a l B)

and

C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l B) = C_{e}^{*} (m a t h c a l B)

because every inclusion of subgroups

H s u b s e t K s u b s e t G

gives a unique quotient map

q_{H K}^{m a t h c a l B} c o l o n C_{K}^{*} (m a t h c a l B) o C_{H}^{*} (m a t h c a l B)

such that

q_{H K}^{m a t h c a l B} c i r c q_{K}^{m a t h c a l B} = q_{H}^{m a t h c a l B} .

All along the article we try to find conditions on

m a t h c a l B,

G, H

and

K

(e.g. saturation, nuclearity or weak containment) that imply

q_{H K}^{m a t h c a l B}

is faithful. One of our main tools is a blend of Fell's absorption principle (for saturated bundles) and a result of Exel and Ng for reduced cross sectional C*-algebras. We also show that given an imprimitivity system

l a n g l e T, P a n g l e

for

m a t h c a l B

over

G / H,

if

H

is open or has open normalizer in

G,

then

T

is weakly contained in a *-representation induced from

m a t h c a l B_{H}

(even if

m a t h c a l B

is not saturated). Given normal and closed subgroups of

G,

H s u b s e t K,

we construct a Fell bundle

m a t h c a l C

over

G / K

such that

C_{r}^{*} (m a t h c a l C) = C_{H}^{*} (m a t h c a l B) .

We show that

q_{H}^{m a t h c a l B}

is faithful if and only if both

q_{e}^{m a t h c a l C}

and

q_{H}^{m a t h c a l B_{K}}

are.
