Reduced Group

Let G denote a discrete group and let us say that G is C*-simple if the reduced group C*-algebra associated with G is simple. We notice immediately that there is no interest in considering here the full group C*-algebra associated with G, because it is simple if and only if C is trivial. Since Powers in 1975 [26] proved that all nonabelian free groups are C*-simple, the class of C*-simp1e groups has been considerably enlarged (see [1, 2, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 16, 24] as a sample!), and two important subclasses are so-called weak Powers groups ([6, 13]; see Section 4 for definition and examples) and the groups of Akemann-Lee type [1, 2], which are groups possessing a normal non-abelian free subgroup with trivial centralizer.

Close Relationship

AbstractUsing the close relationship between coactions of discrete groups and Fell bundles, we introduce a procedure for inducing a C*-coaction δ: D → D ⊗C*(G/N) of a quotient group G/N of a discrete group G to a C*-coaction Ind δ: Ind D → D ⊗C*(G) of G. We show that induced coactions behave in many respects similarly to induced actions. In particular, as an analogue of the well known imprimitivity theorem for induced actions we prove that the crossed products Ind D ×IndδG and D ×δG/N are always Morita equivalent. We also obtain nonabelian analogues of a theorem of Olesen and Pedersen which show that there is a duality between induced coactions and twisted actions in the sense of Green. We further investigate amenability of Fell bundles corresponding to induced coactions.

The Stability

AbstractLet A and B be arbitrary C*-algebras, we prove that the existence of a Hilbert A–B-bimodule of finite index ensures that the WEP, QWEP, and LLP along with other finite-dimensional approximation properties such as CBAP and (S)OAP are shared by A and B. For this, we first study the stability of the WEP, QWEP, and LLP under Morita equivalence of C*-algebras. We present examples of Hilbert A–B-bimodules, which are not of finite index, while such properties are shared between A and B. To this end, we study twisted crossed products by amenable discrete groups.

Spectral Invariant

We define the notion of strong spectral invariance for a dense Fréchet subalgebra A of a Banach algebra B. We show that if A is strongly spectral invariant in a C*-algebra B, and G is a compactly generated polynomial growth Type R Lie group, not necessarily connected, then the smooth crossed product G ⋊ A is spectral invariant in the C*-crossed product G ⋊ B. Examples of such groups are given by finitely generated polynomial growth discrete groups, compact or connected nilpotent Lie groups, the group of Euclidean motions on the plane, the Mautner group, or any closed subgroup of one of these. Our theorem gives the spectral invariance of G ⋊ A if A is the set of C∞-vectors for the action of G on B, or if B = C0 (M), and A is a set of G-differentiable Schwartz functions [Formula: see text] on M. This gives many examples of spectral invariant dense subalgebras for the C*-algebras associated with dynamical systems. We also obtain relevant results about exact sequences, subalgebras, tensoring by smooth compact operators, and strong spectral invariance in L1 (G, B).
