Multiplier Hopf Algebras: Globalization for partial actions

Abstract

In partial action theory, a pertinent question is whenever given a partial (co)action of a Hopf algebra A on an algebra R, it is possible to construct an enveloping (co)action. The authors Alves and Batista, in [2],have shown that this is always possible if R has unit. We are interested in investigating the situation where both algebras A and R are nonunitary. A nonunitary natural extension for the concept of Hopf algebras was proposed by Van Daele, in [11], which is called multiplier Hopf algebra. Therefore, we will consider partial (co)actions of multipliers Hopf algebras on algebras not necessarily unitary and we will present globalization theorems for these structures. Moreover, Dockuchaev, Del Rio and Sim\'on, in [5], have shown when group partial actions on nonunitary algebras are globalizable. Based in [5], we will establish a bijection between group partial actions on an algebra R not necessarily unitary and partial actions of a multiplier Hopf algebra on the algebra R.
