In particular, the covariant representation (Q1o1r:F(7i)' S) of Jt on O(Jt) is
universal.

Proof. The proof is similar to that of Theorem 4.6.18, except J(7r,r) = 17-i
by Lemma 4.6.15 and covariance. Indeed, with the same notation, it suffices
to show that Q is injective on B-::;.n for every n. As before, this requires
induction.
First, Q is injective on B-:::,_o f::! A by assumption. Now, let n ;::::: 0 and
suppose that Q is injective on Bsn· Then, by Lemma 4.6.16, we have the
commutative diagram

o ,.. Bn+i ,.. Bsn+i ,.. B-::;.n/(Bsn n Bn+i) ,.. o


lQ lQ lQ
0 ----+ Bn+l ----+ B-::;.n+i ----+ B-:::,_n/ (B-::;_n n Bn+1) ----+ 0
whose rows are exact. Since Bn+l f::! JK(Jt®(n+l)) f::! Bn+l, the left vertical
arrow is injective. The right arrow is injective since Q is injective on B<n,
by the induction hypothesis, and Q maps B-::;.n n Bn+l f::! JK(Jt©n 17-i) o~to
B<n - n Bn+l· Hence, the middle arrow is also I injective by the 5 Lemma.
This completes the proof. D

We have several corollaries of the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorems.
Corollary 4.6.21. Let 1t be a C* -correspondence over A. Let B C A and
JC C 1t be a closed subspace such that BJCB C JC and (~, rJ) E B for every
~, fJ E JC. Viewing JC as a C* -correspondence over B, we have a natural
inclusion T(JC) C T(Jt).
Corollary 4.6.22. Let 1t be a C* -correspondence over A. Let a be a *-
automorphism of A and U be an isometric surjection on 1t such that
U(a~b) = a(a)U(~)a(b) and (U~, UrJ) =a((~, rJ))
for every~' rJ E 1t and a, b EA. Then, there exists a *~automorphism (called
a Bogoljubov automorphism) au on T(Jt) such that
au( a)= a(a) and au(Tt,) = Tu(E,)
for every a E A and~ E Ji. The same thing holds for O(Jt).

Proof. ;Let a and U be given a~ above. Then, the pair of maps a: A 3
a f--> a(a) E T(Jt) and To U: 1t 3 ~ f--> Tu(E,) E T(Jt) is a representation
of 1t and induces a *-homomorphism au: T(Jt) ---+ T(Jt). The same con-
struction for a-^1 and u-^1 gives rise to the inverse of au and hence au is an
automorphism. To prove the assertion for O(Jt), we have to check the co-
variance property of the representation (a, So U) of 1t into O(Jt). For this,
