In this work we deal with partial (co)action of multiplier Hopf algebras on not necessarily unital algebras. Our main goal is to construct a Morita context relating the coinvariant algebra $R^{underline{coA}}$ with a certain subalgebra of the smash product $R#widehat{A}$. Besides this we present the notion of partial Galois coaction, which is closely related to this Morita context.
In this work we define partial (co)actions on multiplier Hopf algebras, we also present examples and properties. From a partial comodule coalgebra we construct a partial smash coproduct generalizing the constructions made by the L. Delvaux, E. Batista and J. Vercruysse.
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 Simon, 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.
If H is a finite dimensional quasi-Hopf algebra and A is a left H-module algebra, we prove that there is a Morita context connecting the smash product A#H and the subalgebra of invariants A^{H}. We define also Galois extensions and prove the connection with this Morita context, as in the Hopf case.
In this paper, extending the idea presented by M. Takeuchi in [13], we introduce the notion of partial matched pair $(H,L)$ involving the concepts of partial action and partial coaction between two Hopf algebras $H$ and $L$. Furthermore, we present necessary conditions for the corresponding bismash product $L# H$ to generate a new Hopf algebra and, as illustration, a family of examples is provided.
The notions of Galois and cleft extensions are generalized for coquasi-Hopf algebras. It is shown that such an extension over a coquasi-Hopf algebra is cleft if and only if it is Galois and has the normal basis property. A Schneider type theorem is proven for coquasi-Hopf algebras with bijective antipode. As an application, we generalize Schauenburgs bialgebroid construction for coquasi-Hopf algebras.
