Finite-dimensional Hopf C*-bimodules and C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries

Finite quantum groupoids can be described in many equivalent ways: In terms of the weak Hopf C*-algebras of Böhm, Nill, and Szlachányi or the finite-dimensional Hopf-von Neumann bimodules of Vallin, and in terms of finite-dimensional multiplicative partial isometries or the finite-dimensional pseudo-multiplicative unitaries of Vallin. In this short note, we show that in finite dimensions, the notions of a Hopf-von Neumann bimodule and of a pseudo-multiplicative unitary coincide with the notions of a concrete Hopf-C*-bimodule and of a C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitary, respectively.

C*-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries

We introduce $C^*$-pseudo-multiplicative unitaries and (concrete) Hopf $C^*$-bimodules, which are $C^*$-algebraic variants of the pseudo-multiplicative unitaries on Hilbert spaces and the Hopf-von Neumann-bimodules studied by Enock, Lesieur, Vallin. Moreover, we associate to every regular $C^*$-pseudo-multiplicative unitary two Hopf-$C^*$-bimodules and discuss examples related to locally compact groupoids.
