Abstract
Quasi-multipliers for a Hilbert C*-bimodule V were introduced by L. G. Brown, J. A. Mingo, and N.-T. Shen as a certain subset of the Banach bidual module V**. We give another (equivalent) definition of quasi-multipliers for Hilbert C*-bimodules using the centralizer approach and then show that quasi-multipliers are, in fact, universal (maximal) objects of a certain category. We also introduce quasi-multipliers for bimodules in Kasparov's sense and even for Banach bimodules over C*-algebras, provided these C*-algebras act non-degenerately. A topological picture of quasi-multipliers via the quasi-strict topology is given. Finally, we describe quasi-multipliers in two main situations: for the standard Hilbert bimodule and for bimodules of sections of Hilbert C*-bimodule bundles over locally compact spaces.
