dc.descriptionIf a finite group action $α$ on a unital $C^*$-algebra $M$ is saturated, the canonical conditional expectation $E:M\to M^α$ onto the fixed point algebra is known to be of index finite type with $Index(E)=|G|$ in the sense of Watatani. More generally if a finite dimensional Hopf $*$-algebra $A$ acts on $M$ and the action is saturated, the same is true with $Index (E)=\dim(A)$. In this paper we prove that the converse is true. Especially in case $M$ is a commutative $C^*$-algebra $C(X)$ and $α$ is a finite group action, we give an equivalent condition in order that the expectation $E:C(X)\to C(X)^α$ is of index finite type, from which we obtain that $α$ is saturated if and only if $G$ acts freely on $X$. Actions by compact groups are also considered to show that the gauge action $γ$ on a graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ associated with a locally finite directed graph $E$ is saturated.
