AbstractWe give a formula for the Dixmier-Douady class of a continuous-trace groupoid crossed product that arises from an action of a locally trivial, proper, principal groupoid on a bundle of elementary C*-algebras that satisfies Fell's condition.

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be two ergodic essentially free probability measure preserving actions of nonamenable Baumslag–Solitar groups whose canonical almost normal abelian subgroups act aperiodically. We prove that an isomorphism between the corresponding crossed product II1 factors forces [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text]. This improves an orbit equivalence rigidity result obtained by Houdayer and Raum in [Baumslag–Solitar groups, relative profinite completions and measure equivalence rigidity, J. Topol. 8 (2015) 295–313].

We discuss some recent developments that illustrate the interplay between the theory of crossed products of continuous trace C*-algebras and algebraic topology, summarizing results relating topological invariants coming from the theory of fiber bundles to continuous trace C*-algebras and their automorphism groups and the structure of the associated crossed product C*-algebras. This survey article starts from the classical theory of Dixmier, Douady, and Fell, and discusses the more recent work of Echterhoff, Phillips, Raeburn, Rosenberg, and Williams, among others. The topological invariants involved are Čech cohomology, the cohomology of locally compact groups with Borel cochains of C. Moore, and the recently introduced equivariant cohomology theory of Crocker, Kumjian, Raeburn and Williams.

In this paper, we will prove that if A is a C*-algebra with an effective coaction ε by a compact quantum group, then the fixed point algebra and the reduced crossed product are Morita equivalent. As an application, we prove an imprimitivity type theorem for crossed products of coactions by discrete Kac C*-algebras.

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.

The spectral C*-algebra of the discrete product systems of H.T. Dinh is shown to be a twisted semigroup crossed product whenever the product system has a twisted unit. The covariant representations of the corresponding dynamical system are always faithful, implying the simplicity of these crossed products; an application of a recent theorem of G.J. Murphy gives their nuclearity. Furthermore, a semigroup of endomorphisms of B(H) having an intertwining projective semigroup of isometries can be extended to a group of automorphisms of a larger Type I factor.

Introduction. Let S be the integral closure of a complete discrete rank one valuation ring R in a finite Galois extension of the quotient field of R, and let G denote the Galois group of the quotient field extension. Auslander and Rim have shown in [3] that the trivial crossed product Δ (1, S, G) is an hereditary order if and only if 5 is a tamely ramified extension of R. And the author has proved in [7] that if the extension S of R is tamely ramified then the crossed product Δ(f, 5, G) is a Π-principal hereditary order for each 2-cocycle f in Z2(G, U(S)). (See Section 1 for the definition of Π-principal hereditary order.) However, the author has exhibited in [8] an example of a crossed product Δ(f, S, G) which is a Π-principal hereditary order in the case when S is a wildly ramified extension of R.

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.

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 $.
