The Ideal

A C*-dynamical system is called topologically free if the action satisfies a certain natural condition weaker than freeness. It is shown that if a discrete system is topologically free then the ideal structure of the crossed product algebra is related to that of the original algebra. One consequence is that a minimal topologically free discrete system has a simple reduced crossed product. Sharper results are obtained when the algebra is abelian.

We consider an extendible endomorphism α of a C*-algebra A. We associate to it a canonical C*-dynamical system (B, β) that extends (A, α) and is "reversible" in the sense that the endomorphism β admits a unique regular transfer operator β⁎. The theory for (B, β) is analogous to the theory of classic crossed products by automorphisms, and the key idea is to describe the counterparts of classic notions for (B, β) in terms of the initial system (A, α). We apply this idea to study the ideal structure of a non-unital version of the crossed product C*(A, α, J) introduced recently by the author and A. V. Lebedev. This crossed product depends on the choice of an ideal J in (ker α)⊥, and if J = ( ker α)⊥ it is a modification of Stacey's crossed product that works well with non-injective α's. We provide descriptions of the lattices of ideals in C*(A, α, J) consisting of gauge-invariant ideals and ideals generated by their intersection with A. We investigate conditions under which these lattices coincide with the set of all ideals in C*(A, α, J). In particular, we obtain simplicity criteria that besides minimality of the action require either outerness of powers of α or pointwise quasinilpotence of α.

AbstractWe present explicit calculations of the Arveson spectrum, the strong Arveson spectrum, the Connes spectrum, and the strong Connes spectrum, for an infinite tensor product type action of a compact group. Using these calculations and earlier results (of the authors and C. Peligrad) relating the various spectra to the ideal structure of the crossed product algebra, we prove that the topology of G influences the ideal structure of the crossed product algebra, in the following sense: if G contains a nontrivial connected group as a direct summand, then the crossed product algebra may be prime, but it is never simple; while if G is discrete, the crossed product algebra is simple if and only if it is prime. These results extend to compact groups analogous results of Bratteli for abelian groups. In addition, we exhibit a class of examples illustrating that for compact groups, unlike the case for abelian groups, the Connes spectrum and strong Connes spectrum need not be stable.

AbstractEach g ∊ ℤ[x] defines a homeomorphism of a compact space We investigate the isomorphism classes of the C*-crossed product algebra Bg associated with the dynamical system An isomorphism invariant Eg of the algebra Bg is shown to determine the algebra Bg up to * or * anti-isomorphism if degree g ≤ 1 and 1 is not a root of g or if degree g = 2 and g is irreducible. It is also observed that the entropy of the dynamical system is equal to the growth rate of the periodic points if g has no roots of unity as zeros. This slightly extends the previously known equality of these two quantities under the assumption that g has no zeros on the unit circle.

AbstractWe consider a family of dynamical systems (A, α, L) in which α is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for α. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show that the C*-algebra of a locally finite graph can be realised as one of these crossed products. When A is commutative, we find criteria for the simplicity of the crossed product, and analyse the ideal structure of the crossed product.

Different diffeomorphisms can give the same [Formula: see text] crossed product algebra. Our main purpose is to show that we can still classify dynamical systems with some appropriate smooth crossed product algebras when their corresponding [Formula: see text] crossed product algebras are isomorphic. For this purpose, we construct two minimal unique ergodic diffeomorphisms [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text] algebras classification theory, smooth crossed product algebras considered by R. Nest and cyclic cohomology are used to show that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] give the same [Formula: see text] algebra and induce different smooth crossed product algebras.

AbstractGiven a semigroup of surjective local homeomorphisms on a compact space X we consider the corresponding semigroup of *-endomorphisms on C(X) and discuss the possibility of extending it to an interaction group, a concept recently introduced by the first named author. We also define a transformation groupoid whose C*-algebra turns out to be isomorphic to the crossed product algebra for the interaction group. Several examples are considered, including one which gives rise to a slightly different construction and should be interpreted as being the C*-algebra of a certain polymorphism.

AbstractLet $\Omega $ be a class of unital $C^*$-algebras. Then any simple unital $C^*$-algebra $A\in \mathrm {TA}(\mathrm {TA}\Omega )$ is a $\mathrm {TA}\Omega $ algebra. Let $A\in \mathrm {TA}\Omega $ be an infinite-dimensional $\alpha $-simple unital $C^*$-algebra with the property SP. Suppose that $\alpha :G\to \mathrm {Aut}(A)$ is an action of a finite group $G$ on $A$ which has a certain non-simple tracial Rokhlin property. Then the crossed product algebra $C^*(G,A,\alpha )$ belongs to $\mathrm {TA}\Omega $.

A construction is given relating a finitely generated free-product of cyclic groups with a certain Cuntz-Krieger algebra, generalizing the relation between the Choi algebra and 02. It is shown that a certain boundary action of such a group yields a Cuntz-Krieger algebra by the crossed-product construction. Certain compact convex spaces of completely positive mappings associated to a crossed-product algebra are introduced. These are used to generalize a problem of J. Anderson regarding the representation theory of the Choi algebra. An explicit computation of these spaces for the crossed products under study yields a negative answer to this problem.

Given two $n \times n $ matrices $A = (a_{ij})$ and $B=(b_{ij}) $ with entries in $B(H)$ for some Hilbert space $H$, their block Schur product is the $n \times n$ matrix $ A\square B := (a_{ij}b_{ij})$. Given two continuous functions $f$ and $g$ on the torus with Fourier coefficients $(f_n)$ and $(g_n)$ their convolution product $f \star g$ has Fourier coefficients $(f_n g_n)$. Based on this, the Schur product on scalar matrices is also known as the Hadamard product. We show that for a C*-algebra $\mathcal{A} $, and a discrete group $G$ with an action $\alpha _g$ of $G$ on $\mathcal{A} $ by *-automorphisms, the reduced crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm {C}^*_r(\mathcal{A} , \alpha , G)$ possesses a natural generalization of the convolution product, which we suggest should be named the Hadamard product. We show that this product has a natural Stinespring representation and we lift some known results on block Schur products to this setting, but we also show that the block Schur product is a special case of the Hadamard product in a crossed product algebra.
