Module homomorphisms and multipliers on locally compact quantum groups

For a Banach algebra $A$ with a bounded approximate identity, we investigate the $A$-module homomorphisms of certain introverted subspaces of $A^*$, and show that all $A$-module homomorphisms of $A^*$ are normal if and only if $A$ is an ideal of $A^{**}$. We obtain some characterizations of compactness and discreteness for a locally compact quantum group $\G$. Furthermore, in the co-amenable case we prove that the multiplier algebra of $\LL$ can be identified with $\MG.$ As a consequence, we prove that $\G$ is compact if and only if $\LUC={\rm WAP}(\G)$ and $\MG\cong\mathcal{Z}({\rm LUC}(\G)^*)$; which partially answer a problem raised by Volker Runde.
