Strong Property

We introduce the concept of strong property $(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant for Banach algebras and, by applying a certain analysis on the Fourier algebra of the unit circle, we show that all C*-algebras and group algebras have the strong property $(\mathbb{B})$ with a constant given by $288\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}(1+\sqrt{2})$. We then use this result to find a concrete upper bound for the hyperreflexivity constant of ${\mathcal{Z}}^{n}(A,X)$, the space of bounded $n$-cocycles from $A$ into $X$, where $A$ is a C*-algebra or the group algebra of a group with an open subgroup of polynomial growth and $X$ is a Banach $A$-bimodule for which ${\mathcal{H}}^{n+1}(A,X)$ is a Banach space. As another application, we show that for a locally compact amenable group $G$ and $1<p<\infty$, the space $CV_{P}(G)$ of convolution operators on $L^{p}(G)$ is hyperreflexive with a constant given by $384\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{2}(1+\sqrt{2})$. This is the generalization of a well-known result of Christensen [‘Extensions of derivations. II’, Math. Scand. 50(1) (1982), 111–122] for $p=2$.

AbstractLet G be a locally compact group and H an open subgroup of G. The embeddings of group C*-algebras associated with H into the group C*-algebras associated with G are studied. Three conditions for the embeddings given in terms of C*-norms of the group algebras, group representations and positive definite functions are shown to be equivalent. As corollary, we prove that the full C*-algebra of H can be embedded into the full C*-algebra of G in a natural way as well as the case for the reduced group C*-algebras. We also show that the embeddings hold for their duals and double duals.

Compact Quantum Metric Space

AbstractLet be a length function on a group G, and let M denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by on l2(G). Following Connes, M𝕃 can be used as a “Dirac” operator for the reduced group C*-algebra (G). It deûnes a Lipschitz seminorm on (G), which defines a metric on the state space of (G). We show that for any length function satisfying a strong form of polynomial growth on a discrete group, the topology from this metric coincides with the weak-* topology (a key property for the definition of a “compact quantum metric space”). In particular, this holds for all word-length functions on ûnitely generated nilpotent-by-finite groups.

Orthogonally Additive

AbstractThis paper considers Banach algebras with properties 𝔸 or 𝔹, introduced recently by Alaminos et al. The class of Banach algebras satisfying either of these two properties is quite large; in particular, it includes C*-algebras and group algebras on locally compact groups. Our first main result states that a continuous orthogonally additive n-homogeneous polynomial on a commutative Banach algebra with property 𝔸 and having a bounded approximate identity is of a standard form. The other main results describe Banach algebras A with property 𝔹 and having a bounded approximate identity that admit non-zero continuous symmetric orthosymmetric n-linear maps from An into ℂ.

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).

Étale Groupoid

We show that if $G$ is a second countable locally compact Hausdorff étale groupoid carrying a suitable cocycle $c\colon G\to\mathbb{Z}$, then the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ can be realised naturally as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a correspondence over the reduced $C^*$-algebra of the kernel $G_0$ of $c$. If the full and reduced $C^*$-algebras of $G_0$ coincide, we deduce that the full and reduced $C^*$-algebras of $G$ coincide. We obtain a six-term exact sequence describing the $K$-theory of $C^*_r(G)$ in terms of that of $C^*_r(G_0)$.

Charge Quantization

Quantization is defined as the act of assigning an appropriate C*-algebra [Formula: see text] to a given configuration space Q, along with a prescription mapping self-adjoint elements of [Formula: see text] into physically interpretable observables. This procedure is adopted to solve the problem of quantizing a particle moving on a homogeneous locally compact configuration space Q=G/H. Here [Formula: see text] is chosen to be the transformation group C*-algebra corresponding to the canonical action of G on Q. The structure of these algebras and their representations are examined in some detail. Inequivalent quantizations are identified with inequivalent irreducible representations of the C*-algebra corresponding to the system, hence with its superselection sectors. Introducing the concept of a pre-Hamiltonian, we construct a large class of G-invariant time-evolutions on these algebras, and find the Hamiltonians implementing these time-evolutions in each irreducible representation of [Formula: see text]. “Topological” terms in the Hamiltonian (or the corresponding action) turn out to be representation-dependent, and are automatically induced by the quantization procedure. Known “topological” charge quantization or periodicity conditions are then identically satisfied as a consequence of the representation theory of [Formula: see text].

AbstractIt is well known that a discrete group that is both amenable and has Kazhdan’s Property T must be finite. In this note we generalize this statement to the case of transformation groups. We show that if G is a discrete amenable group acting on a compact Hausdorff space X, then the transformation group C*-algebra C*(X; G) has Property T if and only if both X and G are finite. Our approach does not rely on the use of tracial states on C*(X; G).

AbstractIn this paper, we extend the definition of property T and strong property T to general C*-algebras (not necessarily unital). We show that if an inclusion pair of locally compact groups (G,H) has property T, then (C*(G), C*(H)) has property T. As a partial converse, if T is abelian and C*(G) has property T, then T is compact. We also show that if Ω is a first countable locally compact Hausdorff space, then C0(Ω) has (strong) property T if and only if Ω is discrete. Furthermore, the non-unital C*-algebra $c_0(\mathbb{Z}^n)\rtimes SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ has strong property T when n ≥ 3. We also give some equivalent forms of strong property T, which are new even in the unital case.

For a locally compact Abelian group G and a commutative Banach algebra B, let L1(G, B) be the Banach algebra of all Bochner integrable functions. We show that if G is compact and B is a nonunital Banach algebra without nontrivial zero divisors, then (i) all derivations on L1(G, B) are continuous if and only if all derivations on B are continuous, and (ii) each epimorphism from a Banach algebra X onto L1(G, B) is continuous provided every epimorphism from X onto B is continuous. If G is noncompact then every derivation on L1(G, B) and every epimorphism from a commutative Banach algebra onto L1(G, B) are continuous. Our results extend the results of Neumann and Velasco for nonunital Banach algebras.
