Equivariant injectivity of crossed products

TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive framework for equivariant injectivity in the setting of operator spaces and operator systems under locally compact quantum groups. It defines $\mathbb{G}$-operator spaces and their crossed products, establishes core equivalences between $L^1(\mathbb{G})$-module injectivity, $\mathbb{G}$-injectivity, and amenability, and analyzes how these notions behave under crossed products and dual actions. The paper also links amenability and inner amenability of actions to dynamical properties of quantum groups, applies the results to non-commutative Poisson boundaries, and proves compatibility of equivariant injective envelopes with crossed products for discrete and compact quantum groups. Finally, it shows propagation of injectivity and amenability to closed quantum subgroups, thereby unifying and extending several prior results in the literature.
Abstract
We introduce the notion of a $\mathbb{G}$-operator space $(X, α)$, which consists of an action $α: X \curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$ of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ on an operator space $X$, and we make a study of the notion of $\mathbb{G}$-equivariant injectivity for such an operator space. Given a $\mathbb{G}$-operator space $(X, α)$, we define a natural associated crossed product operator space $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G}$, which has canonical actions $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G} \curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$ (the adjoint action) and $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G}\curvearrowleft \check{\mathbb{G}}$ (the dual action) where $\check{\mathbb{G}}$ is the dual quantum group. We then show that if $X$ is a $\mathbb{G}$-operator system, then $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G}$ is $\mathbb{G}$-injective if and only if $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G}$ is injective and $\mathbb{G}$ is amenable, and that (under a mild assumption) $X\rtimes_α\mathbb{G}$ is $\check{\mathbb{G}}$-injective if and only if $X$ is $\mathbb{G}$-injective. We discuss how these results generalise and unify several recent results from the literature, and give new applications of these results.
