Abstract: In the late 1980's Marc Rieffel introduced a notion of properness for actions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras which, among other things, allows the construction of generalised fixed-point algebras for such actions. In this paper we give a simple characterisation of Rieffel proper actions and use this to obtain several (counter) examples for the theory. In particular, we provide examples of Rieffel proper actions $alpha:GomathrmAut(A)$ for which properness is not induced by a nondegenerate equivariant *-homomorphism $phi:C_0(X)omathcalM(A)$ for any proper $G$-space $X$. Other examples, based on earlier work of Meyer, show that a given action might carry different structures for Rieffel properness with different generalised fixed-point algebras.

Review text

The starting point of this work is a paper by \textit{M. A. Rieffel} [Prog. Math. 84, 141--182 (1991; Zbl 0749.22003)] where a notion of properness for actions of locally compact groups on \(C^\ast\)-algebras is introduced. This concept leads to the construction of generalized fixed-point algebras associated to such actions. The aim of the work under review is to present a characterization of Rieffel proper actions. Some included examples show that a given action might carry different structures for the Rieffel properness, having different generalized fixed-point algebras.
