Galois groups of quantum group actions and regularity of fixed-point algebras

It is shown that, for a minimal and integrable action of a locally compact quantum group on a factor, the group of automorphisms of the factor leaving the fixed-point algebra pointwise invariant is identified with the intrinsic group of the dual quantum group. It is proven also that, for such an action, the regularity of the fixed-point algebra is equivalent to the cocommutativity of the quantum group.
