AbstractLet M be an arbitrary factor and $\sigma : \Gamma \curvearrowright M$ an action of a discrete group. In this paper, we study the fullness of the crossed product $M \rtimes _\sigma \Gamma $. When Γ is amenable, we obtain a complete characterization: the crossed product factor $M \rtimes _\sigma \Gamma $ is full if and only if M is full and the quotient map $\overline {\sigma } : \Gamma \rightarrow {\rm out}(M)$ has finite kernel and discrete image. This answers the question of Jones from [11]. When M is full and Γ is arbitrary, we give a sufficient condition for $M \rtimes _\sigma \Gamma $ to be full which generalizes both Jones' criterion and Choda's criterion. In particular, we show that if M is any full factor (possibly of type III) and Γ is a non-inner amenable group, then the crossed product $M \rtimes _\sigma \Gamma $ is full.

AbstractLet a discrete group $G$ act on a unital simple $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebra $A$ by outer automorphisms. We establish a Galois correspondence $H\mapsto A\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},r}H$ between subgroups of $G$ and $\text{C}^{\ast }$-algebras $B$ satisfying $A\subseteq B\subseteq A\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},r}G$, where $A\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},r}G$ denotes the reduced crossed product. For a twisted dynamical system $(A,G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$, we also prove the corresponding result for the reduced twisted crossed product $A\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC},r}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}}G$.

Abstract We extend Matui’s notion of almost finiteness to general étale groupoids and show that the reduced groupoid C$^{\ast }$-algebras of minimal almost finite groupoids have stable rank 1. The proof follows a new strategy, which can be regarded as a local version of the large subalgebra argument. The following three are the main consequences of our result: (1) for any group of (local) subexponential growth and for any its minimal action admitting a totally disconnected free factor, the crossed product has stable rank 1; (2) any countable amenable group admits a minimal action on the Cantor set, all whose minimal extensions form the crossed product of stable rank 1; and (3) for any amenable group, the crossed product of the universal minimal action has stable rank 1.

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.

Recent work by Baum et al. [‘Expanders, exact crossed products, and the Baum–Connes conjecture’, Ann. K-Theory 1(2) (2016), 155–208], further developed by Buss et al. [‘Exotic crossed products and the Baum–Connes conjecture’, J. reine angew. Math. 740 (2018), 111–159], introduced a crossed-product functor that involves tensoring an action with a fixed action $(C,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$ , then forming the image inside the crossed product of the maximal-tensor-product action. For discrete groups, we give an analogue for coaction functors. We prove that composing our tensor-product coaction functor with the full crossed product of an action reproduces their tensor-crossed-product functor. We prove that every such tensor-product coaction functor is exact, and if $(C,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE})$ is the action by translation on $\ell ^{\infty }(G)$ , we prove that the associated tensor-product coaction functor is minimal, thereby recovering the analogous result by the above authors. Finally, we discuss the connection with the $E$ -ization functor we defined earlier, where $E$ is a large ideal of $B(G)$ .

AbstractWe will consider coactions of discrete groups on C*-algebras and imitate some of the results about compact group actions on C*-algebras. In particular, the crossed product of a reduced coaction ∈ of a discrete amenable group G on A is liminal (respectively, postliminal) if and only if the fixed point algebra of ∈ is. Moreover, we will also consider ergodic coactions on C*-algebras.

Connes showed that spectral triples encode (noncommutative) metric information. Further, Connes and Moscovici in their metric bundle construction showed that, as with the Takesaki duality theorem, forming a crossed product spectral triple can substantially simplify the structure. In a recent paper, Bellissard, Marcolli and Reihani (among other things) studied in depth metric notions for spectral triples and crossed product spectral triples for $Z$-actions, with applications in number theory and coding theory. In the work of Connes and Moscovici, crossed products involving groups of diffeomorphisms and even of étale groupoids are required. With this motivation, the present paper develops part of the Bellissard-Marcolli-Reihani theory for a general discrete group action, and in particular, introduces coaction spectral triples and their associated metric notions. The isometric condition is replaced by the contractive condition.

Using the strong relation between coactions of a discrete group $G$ on $C^*$-algebras and Fell bundles over $G$ we prove a new version of Mansfield's imprimitivity theorem for coactions of discrete groups. Our imprimitivity theorem works for the universally defined full crossed products and arbitrary subgroups of $G$ as opposed to the usual theory of [16], [11] which uses the spatially defined reduced crossed products and normal subgroups of $G$. Moreover, our theorem factors through the usual one by passing to appropriate quotients. As applications we show that a Fell bundle over a discrete group is amenable in the sense of Exel [7] if and only if the double dual action is amenable in the sense that the maximal and reduced crossed products coincide. We also give a new characterization of induced coactions in terms of their dual actions.

Consider an exact action of a discrete group $G$ on a separable C*-algebra $A$. It is shown that the reduced crossed product $A\rtimes _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E},\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}}G$ is strongly purely infinite—provided that the action of $G$ on any quotient $A/I$ by a $G$-invariant closed ideal $I\neq A$ is element-wise properly outer and that the action of $G$ on $A$ is $G$-separating (cf. Definition 5.1). This is the first non-trivial sufficient general criterion for strong pure infiniteness of reduced crossed products of C*-algebras $A$ that are not $G$-simple. In the case $A=\text{C}_{0}(X)$, the notion of a $G$-separating action corresponds to the property that two compact sets $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$, that are contained in open subsets $C_{j}\subseteq U_{j}\subseteq X$, can be mapped by elements $g_{1},g_{2}$ of $G$ onto disjoint sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{g_{j}}(C_{j})\subseteq U_{j}$, but satisfy not necessarily the contraction property $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E}_{g_{j}}(U_{j})\subseteq \overline{U_{j}}$. A generalization of strong boundary actions on compact spaces to non-unital and non-commutative C*-algebras $A$ (cf. Definition 7.1) is also introduced. It is stronger than the notion of $G$-separating actions by Proposition 7.6, because $G$-separation does not imply $G$-simplicity and there are examples of $G$-separating actions with reduced crossed products that are stably projection-less and non-simple.

AbstractThe recently developed theory of partial actions of discrete groups on C*-algebras is extended. A related concept of actions of inverse semigroups on C*-algebras is defined, including covariant representations and crossed products. The main result is that every partial crossed product is a crossed product by a semigroup action.
