Let us consider locally compact quantum groupoids () defined as locally compact groupoids endowed with a Haar system, ,
, or as derived from a (non-commutative) weak Hopf algebra (WHA), with the additional condition of uniform continuity over
defined as follows . Let us also consider a space
of left uniformly continuous elements in
defined over , which is endowed with the induced product topology from the subset of composable pairs in the topological groupoid. This step completes the construction of uniform continuity over that can be then compared with the results obtained from `quantum groupoids' derived from a weak Hopf algebra.
Consider to be a locally compact quantum group. Then consider the space of left uniformly continuous elements in
introduced in ref. [2]. (The definition according to V. Runde (loc. cit.) covers both the space of left uniformly continuous functions on a locally compact group and (Granirer's) uniformly continuous functionals on the Fourier algebra.) Also consider which is then an operatorsystem
containing the C*-algebra. One may compare the groupoid C*-convolution algebra, – obtained in the general case– with the C*-algebra obtained from in the particular case of uniform continuity over a locally compact group.
