AbstractWe investigate the representation theory of the crossed–product C*–algebra associated with a compact group G acting on a locally compact space X when the stability subgroups vary discontinuously. Our main result applies when G has a principal stability subgroup or X is locally of finite G–orbit type. Then the upper multiplicity of the representation of the crossed product induced from an irreducible representation V of a stability subgroup is obtained by restricting V to a certain closed subgroup of the stability subgroup and taking the maximum of the multiplicities of the irreducible summands occurring in the restriction of V. As a corollary we obtain that when the trivial subgroup is a principal stability subgroup; the crossed product is a Fell algebra if and only if every stability subgroup is abelian. A second corollary is that the C*–algebra of the motion group ℝn ⋊ SO(n) is a Fell algebra. This uses the classical branching theorem for the special orthogonal group SO(n) with respect to SO(n − 1). Since proper transformation groups are locally induced from the actions of compact groups, we describe how some of our results can be extended to transformation groups that are locally proper.

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.

General Family

Group algebras and crossed products have always played an important role in the theory of C*-algebras, and there has also been considerable interest in various twisted analogues, where the multiplication is twisted by a two-cocycle. Here we shall discuss a very general family of twisted actions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras, and the corresponding twisted crossed product C*-algebras. We shall then establish some of the basic properties of these algebras, motivated by the requirements of some applications we have in mind [2, 9, 10]. Some of our results will be known to others, at least in principle, but we feel that a coherent account might be useful.

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.

Universal Coefficient Theorem

Abstract We introduce and study the continuous Rokhlin property for actions of compact groups on $C^*$-algebras. An important technical result is a characterization of the continuous Rokhlin property in terms of asymptotic retracts. As a consequence, we derive strong $KK$-theoretical obstructions to the continuous Rokhlin property. Using these, we show that the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) is preserved under formation of crossed products and passage to fixed point algebras by such actions, even in the absence of nuclearity. As an application of the case of ${{\mathbb{Z}}}_3$-actions, we answer a question of Phillips–Viola about algebras not isomorphic to their opposites. Our analysis of the $KK$-theory of the crossed product allows us to prove a ${{\mathbb{T}}}$-equivariant version of Kirchberg–Phillips: two circle actions with the continuous Rokhlin property on Kirchberg algebras are conjugate whenever they are $KK^{{{\mathbb{T}}}}$-equivalent. In the presence of the UCT, this is equivalent to having isomorphic equivariant $K$-theory. We moreover characterize the $KK^{{{\mathbb{T}}}}$-theoretical invariants that arise in this way. Finally, we identify a $KK^{{{\mathbb{T}}}}$-theoretic obstruction to the continuous property, which is shown to be the only obstruction in the setting of Kirchberg algebras. We show by means of explicit examples that the Rokhlin property is strictly weaker than the continuous Rokhlin property.

Minimal Self

We study the notions of minimal self-joinings (MSJ) and graph self-joinings (GSJ) (analogous to simplicity in the finite measure preserving case) for nonsingular actions of locally compact groups. We show that for a nonsingular action of a group G with MSJ, every quotient comes from a closed subgroup of the center of G whose action is totally non-ergodic. Thus, totally ergodic nonsingular flows with MSJ are prime. We then show an analogous result to Veech's theorem, namely that for a nonsingular action of a group G with GSJ, every quotient comes from a locally compact subgroup of the centralizer whose action is totally non-ergodic.

Approximation Constant

We investigate approximation properties for C*-algebras and their crossed products by actions and coactions by locally compact groups. We show that Haagerup's approximation constant is preserved for crossed products by arbitrary amenable groups, and we show why this is not always true in the non-amenable case. We also examine similar questions for other forms of the approximation property.

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.
