Rings With Involution

Motivated by deformation quantization, we introduced in an earlier work the notion of formal Morita equivalence in the category of *-algebras over a ring [Formula: see text] which is the quadratic extension by i of an ordered ring [Formula: see text]. The goal of the present paper is twofold. First, we clarify the relationship between formal Morita equivalence, Ara's notion of Morita *-equivalence of rings with involution, and strong Morita equivalence of C*-algebras. Second, in the general setting of *-algebras over [Formula: see text], we define "closed" *-ideals as the ones occurring as kernels of *-representations of these algebras on pre-Hilbert spaces. These ideals form a lattice which we show is invariant under formal Morita equivalence. This result, when applied to Pedersen ideals of C*-algebras, recovers the so-called Rieffel correspondence theorem. The triviality of the minimal element in the lattice of closed ideals, called the "minimal ideal", is also a formal Morita invariant and this fact can be used to describe a large class of examples of *-algebras over [Formula: see text] with equivalent representation theory but which are not formally Morita equivalent. We finally compute the closed *-ideals of some *-algebras arising in differential geometry.

AbstractLet $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ be Morita equivalent and let $X$ be an $A$–$B$-imprimitivity bimodule. Suppose that $A$ or $B$ is unital. It is shown that $X$ has the weak Banach–Saks property if and only if it has the uniform weak Banach–Saks property. Thus, we conclude that $A$ or $B$ has the weak Banach–Saks property if and only if $X$ does so. Furthermore, when $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ are unital, it is shown that $X$ has the Banach–Saks property if and only if it is finite dimensional.

Density Theorems

The duality principle for Gabor frames is one of the pillars of Gabor analysis. We establish a far-reaching generalization to Morita equivalence bimodules with some extra properties. For certain twisted group [Formula: see text]-algebras, the reformulation of the duality principle to the setting of Morita equivalence bimodules reduces to the well-known Gabor duality principle by localizing with respect to a trace. We may lift all results at the module level to matrix algebras and matrix modules, and in doing so, it is natural to introduce [Formula: see text]-matrix Gabor frames, which generalize multi-window super Gabor frames. We are also able to establish density theorems for module frames on equivalence bimodules, and these localize to density theorems for [Formula: see text]-matrix Gabor frames.

AbstractWe show that the property of a C*-algebra that all its Hilbert modules have a frame, in the case of σ-unital C*-algebras, is preserved under Rieffel–Morita equivalence. In particular, we show that a σ-unital continuous-trace C*-algebra with trivial Dixmier–Douady class, all of whose Hilbert modules admit a frame, has discrete spectrum. We also show this for the tensor product of any commutative C*-algebra with the C*-algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space.

Strong Morita Equivalence

We consider two twisted actions of a countable discrete group on $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebras. Then by taking the reduced crossed products, we get two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras. We suppose that they are strongly Morita equivalent as inclusions of $C^*$-algebras. Also, we suppose that one of the inclusions of $C^*$-algebras is irreducible, that is, the relative commutant of one of the $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra in the multiplier $C^*$-algebra of the reduced twisted crossed product is trivial. We show that the two actions are then strongly Morita equivalent up to some automorphism of the group.

Equivalence Result

We show how to extend a classic Morita Equivalence Result of Green's to the $C^*$-algebras of Fell bundles over transitive groupoids. Specifically, we show that if $p:{\mathcal B}\to G$ is a saturated Fell bundle over a transitive groupoid $G$ with stability group $H=G(u)$ at $u\in G^{(0)}$, then $C^* (G,{\mathcal B})$ is Morita equivalent to $C^*(H,{\mathcal C})$, where ${\mathcal C}={\mathcal B}_{| H}$. As an application, we show that if $p:{\mathcal B}\to G$ is a Fell bundle over a group $G$ and if there is a continuous $G$-equivariant map $\sigma:$ Prim $A\to G/H$, where $A=B(e)$ is the $C^*$-algebra of $\mathcal B$ and $H$ is a closed subgroup, then $C^*(G,{\mathcal B})$ is Morita equivalent to $C^* (H,{\mathcal C}^{I})$ where ${\mathcal C}^{I}$ is a Fell bundle over $H$ whose fibres are $A/I$-$A/I$-imprimitivity bimodules and $I=\bigcap\{ P:\sigma(P)=eH\}$. Green's result is a special case of our application to bundles over groups.

Strong Morita Equivalence

We give a solution, via operator spaces, of an old problem in the Morita equivalence of $C^*$-algebras. Namely, we show that $C^*$-algebras are strongly Morita equivalent in the sense of Rieffel if and only if their categories of left operator modules are isomorphic via completely contractive functors. Moreover, any such functor is completely isometrically isomorphic to the Haagerup tensor product (= interior tensor product) with a strong Morita equivalence bimodule. An operator module over a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ is a closed subspace of some B(H) which is left invariant under multiplication by $\pi(\mathcal\ A)$, where $\pi$ is a*-representation of $\mathcal A$ on $H$. The category $_{\mathcal{AHMOD}}$ of *-representations of $\mathcal A$ on Hilbert space is a full subcategory of the category $_{\mathcal{AOMOD}}$ of operator modules. Our main result remains true with respect to subcategories of $OMOD$ which contain $HMOD$ and the $C^*$-algebra itself. It does not seem possible to remove the operator space framework; in the very simplest cases there may exist no bounded equivalence functors on categories with bounded module maps as morphisms (as opposed to completely bounded ones). Our proof involves operator space techniques, together with a $C^*$-algebra argument using compactness of the quasistate space of a $C^*$-algebra, and lowersemicontinuity in the enveloping von Neumann algebra.

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.

The Stability

AbstractLet A and B be arbitrary C*-algebras, we prove that the existence of a Hilbert A–B-bimodule of finite index ensures that the WEP, QWEP, and LLP along with other finite-dimensional approximation properties such as CBAP and (S)OAP are shared by A and B. For this, we first study the stability of the WEP, QWEP, and LLP under Morita equivalence of C*-algebras. We present examples of Hilbert A–B-bimodules, which are not of finite index, while such properties are shared between A and B. To this end, we study twisted crossed products by amenable discrete groups.
