On a Galois correspondence for minimal actions of compact groups on C*-algebras
Inclusions arising from compact quantum group actions on factors have been studied by Izumi-Longo-Popa and Tomatsu. For a minimal action of a compact group on a factor, there is an isomorphism from the lattice of closed subgroups onto that of intermediate subfactors between the factor and the fixed point subfactor. The correspondence between intermediate subfactors and subgroups is called a Galois correspondence. As a duality result, a Galois correspondence for discrete group actions is also known. Analogues for actions on C*-algebras were also studied by Izumi, Cameron-Smith, and others. In this talk, I will discuss a Galois correspondence for compact group actions on C*-algebras. A crucial result for our main theorem is the proper outerness of finite index endomorphisms of purely infinite simple C*-algebras. This was shown by Izumi recently. If time permits, I will also explain an extension of our main result to actions of compact quantum groups of Kac type and a relationship between our main result and the C*-discrete inclusion introduced by Hernández Palomares and Nelson.
