If A is a weak C U -Hopf algebra then the category of finite-dimensional unitary representations of A is a monoidal C U -category with its monoidal unit being the GNS representation D associated to the counit . This category has isomorphic left dual and right dual objects, which leads, as usual, to

✦ Synopsis
We give an introduction to the theory of weak Hopf algebras proposed as a coassociati¨e alternative of weak quasi-Hopf algebras. We follow an axiomatic approach keeping as close as possible to the ''classical'' theory of Hopf algebras. The emphasis is put on the new structure related to the presence of canonical subalgebras A L and A R in any weak Hopf algebra A that play the role of non-commutative numbers in many respects. A theory of integrals is developed in which we show how the algebraic properties of A, such as the Frobenius property, or semisimplicity, or innerness of the square of the antipode, are related to the existence of non-degenerate, normalized, or Haar integrals. In case of C*-weak Hopf algebras we prove the existence of a unique Haar measure h g A and of a *

Given a C\*-dynamical system (A, G, :), we discuss conditions under which subalgebras of the multiplier algebra M(A) consisting of fixed points for : are Morita Rieffel equivalent to ideals in the crossed product of A by G. In case G is abelian we also develop a spectral theory, giving a necessary a
