Equivariant representation theory for proper actions on discrete spaces

Abstract

Starting from any proper action of any locally compact quantum group on any discrete quantum space, we show that its equivariant representation theory yields a concrete unitary 2-category of finite type Hilbert bimodules over the discrete quantum space, from which the quantum group and its action may be completely reconstructed as in a previous article by the author. In particular, this shows that any locally compact quantum group acting properly on a discrete quantum space must be an algebraic quantum group.
