AbstractCrossed products of C*-algebras by *-endomorphisms are defined in terms of a universal property for covariant representations implemented by families of isometries and some elementary properties of covariant representations and crossed products are obtained.

AbstractC*-algebras form a 2-category with *-homomorphisms or correspondences as morphisms and unitary intertwiners as 2-morphisms. We use this structure to define weak actions of 2-categories, weakly equivariant maps between weak actions and modifications between weakly equivariant maps. In the group case, we identify the resulting notions with known ones, including Busby–Smith twisted actions and the equivalence of such actions, covariant representations and saturated Fell bundles. For 2-groups, weak actions combine twists in the sense of Green, and Busby and Smith.The Packer–Raeburn Stabilization Trick implies that all Busby–Smith twisted group actions of locally compact groups are Morita equivalent to classical group actions. We generalize this to actions of strict 2-groupoids.

The universal C*-algebras of discrete product systems generalize the Toeplitz–Cuntz algebras and the Toeplitz algebras of discrete semigroups. We consider a semigroup P which is quasi-lattice ordered in the sense of Nica, and, for a product system p : E→ P, we study those representations of E, called covariant, which respect the lattice structure of P. We identify a class of product systems, which we call compactly aligned, for which there is a purely C*-algebraic characterization of covariance, and study the algebra [Formula: see text] which is universal for covariant representations of E. Our main theorem is a characterization of the faithful representations of [Formula: see text] when P is the positive cone of a free product of totally-ordered amenable groups.
