AbstractIf a locally compact group G acts on a C*-algebra B, we have both full and reduced crossed products and each has a coaction of G. We investigate ‘exotic’ coactions in between the two, which are determined by certain ideals E of the Fourier–Stieltjes algebra B(G); an approach that is inspired by recent work of Brown and Guentner on new C*-group algebra completions. We actually carry out the bulk of our investigation in the general context of coactions on a C*-algebra A. Buss and Echterhoff have shown that not every coaction comes from one of these ideals, but nevertheless the ideals do generate a wide array of exotic coactions. Coactions determined by these ideals E satisfy a certain ‘E-crossed product duality’, intermediate between full and reduced duality. We give partial results concerning exotic coactions with the ultimate goal being a classification of which coactions are determined by ideals of B(G).

Suppose that H is a closed subgroup of a locally compact group G. We show that a unitary representation U of H is the restriction of a unitary representation of G if and only if a dual representation Û of a crossed product C*(G) ⋊ (G/H) is regular in an appropriate sense. We then discuss the problem of deciding whether a given representation is regular; we believe that this problem will prove to be an interesting test question in non-Abelian duality for crossed products of C*-algebras.

An action (γ, α) of a locally compact group G on a Hilbert pro-C∗-bimodule (X, A) induces an action γ × α of G on A ×X Z the crossed product of A by X. We show that if (γ, α) is an inverse limit action, then the crossed product of A ×α G by X ×γ G respectively of A ×α,r G by X ×γ,r G is isomorphic to the full crossed product of A ×X Z by γ × α respectively the reduced crossed product of A ×X Z by γ × α.

AbstractWe consider coactions of a locally compact group G on a C*-algebra A, and the associated crossed product C*-algebra A× G. Given a normal subgroup N of G, we seek to decompose A× G as an iterated crossed product (A× G/ N) × N, and introduce notions of twisted coaction and twisted crossed product which make this possible. We then prove a duality theorem for these twisted crossed products, and discuss how our results might be used, especially when N is abelian.

AbstractFor a locally compact group G, let LUC(G) denote the space of all left uniformly continuous functions on G. Here, we investigate projectivity, injectivity and flatness of LUC(G) and its dual space LUC(G)* as Banach left modules over the group algebra as well as the measure algebra of G.

This is a follow-up to a paper with the same title and by the same authors. In that paper, all groups were assumed to be abelian, and we are now aiming to generalize the results to nonabelian groups. The motivating point is Pedersen’s theorem, which does hold for an arbitrary locally compact group [Formula: see text], saying that two actions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] are outer conjugate if and only if the dual coactions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] are conjugate via an isomorphism that maps the image of [Formula: see text] onto the image of [Formula: see text] (inside the multiplier algebras of the respective crossed products). We do not know of any examples of a pair of non-outer-conjugate actions such that their dual coactions are conjugate, and our interest is therefore exploring the necessity of latter condition involving the images; and we have decided to use the term “Pedersen rigid” for cases where this condition is indeed redundant. There is also a related problem, concerning the possibility of a so-called equivariant coaction having a unique generalized fixed-point algebra, that we call “fixed-point rigidity”. In particular, if the dual coaction of an action is fixed-point rigid, then the action itself is Pedersen rigid, and no example of non-fixed-point-rigid coaction is known.

Proposition 2ċ5 of [5] states that a full coaction of a locally compact group on a C*-algebra is nondegenerate if and only if its normalisation is. Unfortunately, the proof there only addresses the forward implication, and we have not been able to find a proof of the opposite implication. This issue is important because the theory of crossed-product duality for coactions requires implicitly that the coactions involved be nondegenerate. Moreover, each type of coaction — full, reduced, normal, maximal, and (most recently) exotic — has its own distinctive properties with respect to duality, making it crucial to be able to convert from one to the other without losing nondegeneracy.

We study non-commutative convolution measure algebras satisfying the condition in the title and having an involution with a non-degenerate finite dimensional *-representation. We show first that the group algebra L1(G) of a locally compact group G satisfies these conditions. Then we show that to a given algebra A with the above conditions there corresponds a locally compact group G such that A is a * and L-subalgebra of M(G) and such that the enveloping C*-algebra of A is *isomorphic to C*(G). Finally we show for certain groups that L1(G) is the only example of such algebras, thus giving a characterisation of L1(G).

AbstractLet $G$ be a locally compact group, $A$ a continuous trace $C^*$-algebra, and $\alpha$ a pointwise unitary action of $G$ on $A$. It is a result of Olesen and Raeburn that if $A$ is separable and $G$ is second countable, then the crossed product $A\times_\alpha G$ has continuous trace. We present a new and much more elementary proof of this fact. Moreover, we do not even need the separability assumptions made on $A$ and $G$.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 46L55
