AbstractBy a theorem of Fell and Tomiyama-Takesaki, an N-homogeneous C*-algebra with spectrum X has the form Γ(E) for some bundle E over X with fibre MN(C), and its isomorphism class is determined by that of E and its pull-backs f*E along homeomorphisms f of X. We describe the homogeneous C*-algebras with spectrum T2 or T3 by classifying the MN-bundles over Tk using elementary homotopy theory. We then use our results to determine the isomorphism classes of a variety of transformation group C*-algebras, twisted group C*-algebras and more general crossed products.

A linear mapping T from a subspace E of a Banach algebra into another Banach algebra is called spectrally bounded if there is a constant M ≥ 0 such that r(T x) ≤ Mr(x) for all x ∈ E, where r (·) denotes the spectral radius. We establish the equivalence of the following properties of a unital linear mapping T from a unital C* -algebra A into its centre:(a) T is spectrally bounded;(b) T is a spectrally bounded trace;(c) T is a bounded trace.

AbstractThis paper studies the K-theoretic invariants of the crossed product C*-algebras associated with an important family of homeomorphisms of the tori Tn called Furstenberg transformations. Using the Pimsner–Voiculescu theorem, we prove that given n, the K-groups of those crossed products whose corresponding n × n integer matrices are unipotent of maximal degree always have the same rank an. We show using the theory developed here that a claim made in the literature about the torsion subgroups of these K-groups is false. Using the representation theory of the simple Lie algebra sl(2;C), we show that, remarkably, an has a combinatorial significance. For example, every a2n+1 is just the number of ways that 0 can be represented as a sum of integers between–n and n (with no repetitions). By adapting an argument of van Lint (in which he answered a question of Erdős), a simple explicit formula for the asymptotic behavior of the sequence {an} is given. Finally, we describe the order structure of the K0-groups of an important class of Furstenberg crossed products, obtaining their complete Elliott invariant using classification results of H. Lin and N. C. Phillips.

AbstractGiordano, Putnam and Skau showed that the transformation group C*-algebra arising from a Cantor minimal system is an AT-algebra, and classified it by its K-theory. For approximately inner automorphisms that preserve C(X), we will determine their classes in the Ext and OrderExt groups, and introduce a new invariant for the closure of the topological full group. We will also prove that every automorphism in the kernel of the homomorphism into the Ext group is homotopic to an inner automorphism, which extends Kishimoto’s result.

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).

Dynamical conditions that guarantee stability for discrete transformation group $C^*$-algebras are determined. The results are applied to the case of some discrete subgroups of $\operatorname{SL} (2,\mathbb{R} )$ acting on the punctured plane by means of matrix multiplication of vectors. In the case of cocompact subgroups, further properties of such crossed products are deduced from properties of the $C^*$-algebra associated to the horocycle flow on the corresponding compact homogeneous space of $\operatorname{SL} (2,\mathbb{R} )$.
