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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a locally compact abelian group. By modifying a theorem of Pedersen, it follows that actions of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]-algebras [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are outer conjugate if and only if there is an isomorphism of the crossed products that is equivariant for the dual actions and preserves the images of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in the multiplier algebras of the crossed products. The rigidity problem discussed in this paper deals with the necessity of the last condition concerning the images of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. There is an alternative formulation of the problem: an action of the dual group [Formula: see text] together with a suitably equivariant unitary homomorphism of [Formula: see text] give rise to a generalized fixed-point algebra via Landstad’s theorem, and a problem related to the above is to produce an action of [Formula: see text] and two such equivariant unitary homomorphisms of [Formula: see text] that give distinct generalized fixed-point algebras. We present several situations where the condition on the images of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is redundant, and where having distinct generalized fixed-point algebras is impossible. For example, if [Formula: see text] is discrete, this will be the case for all actions of [Formula: see text].

Abstract We prove that a locally compact group has the approximation property (AP), introduced by Haagerup–Kraus [ 21], if and only if a non-commutative Fejér theorem holds for its associated $C^*$- or von Neumann crossed products. As applications, we answer three open problems in the literature. Specifically, we show that any locally compact group with the AP is exact. This generalizes a result by Haagerup–Kraus [ 21] and answers a problem raised by Li [ 27]. We also answer a question of Bédos–Conti [ 4] on the Fejér property of discrete $C^*$-dynamical systems, as well as a question by Anoussis–Katavolos–Todorov [ 3] for all locally compact groups with the AP. In our approach, we develop a notion of Fubini crossed product for locally compact groups and a dynamical version of the slice map property.

SynopsisWe consider automorphic actions on von Neumann algebras of a locally compact group E given as a topological extension 0 → A → E → G → 0, where A is compact abelian and second countable. Motivated by the wish to describe and classify ergodic actions of E when G is finite, we classify (up to conjugacy) first the ergodic actions of locally compact groups on finite-dimensional factors and then compact abelian actions with the property that the fixed-point algebra is of type I with atomic centre. We then handle the case of ergodic actions of E with the property that the action is already ergodic when restricted to A, and then, as a generalisation, the case of (not necessarily ergodic) actions of E with the property that the restriction to A is an action with abelian atomic fixed-point algebra. Both these cases are handled for general locally compact-countable G. Finally, we combine the obtained results to classify the ergodic actions of E when G is finite, provided that either the extension is central and Hom (G, T) = 0, or G is abelian and either cyclic or of an order not divisible by a square.

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 a class (A; S; α) of dynamical systems, where S is an Ore semigroup and α is an action such that each αs is injective and extendible (i.e. it extends to a non-unital endomorphism of the multiplier algebra), and has range an ideal of A. We show that there is a partial action on the fixed-point algebra under the canonical coaction of the enveloping group G of S constructed in [15, Proposition 6.1]. It turns out that the full crossed product by this coaction is isomorphic to A ⋊αS. If the coaction is moreover normal, then the isomorphism can be extended to include the reduced crossed product. We look then at invariant ideals and finally, at examples of systems where our results apply.

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.
