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.

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.

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.

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.

Special Case

A method for deforming $C^*$-algebras is introduced, which applies to $C^*$-algebras that can be described as the cross-sectional $C^*$-algebra of a Fell bundle. Several well known examples of non-commutative algebras, usually obtained by deforming commutative ones by various methods, are shown to fit our unified perspective of deformation via Fell bundles. Examples are the non-commutative spheres of Matsumoto, the non-commutative lens spaces of Matsumoto and Tomiyama, and the quantum Heisenberg manifolds of Rieffel. In a special case, in which the deformation arises as a result of an action of $\boldsymbol R^{2d}$, assumed to be periodic in the first $d$ variables, we show that we get a strict deformation quantization.

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.

Morita Equivalent

Given a free action of a group $G$ on a directed graph $E$ we show that the crossed product of $C^* (E)$, the universal $C^*$-algebra of $E$, by the induced action is strongly Morita equivalent to $C^* (E/G)$. Since every connected graph $E$ may be expressed as the quotient of a tree $T$ by an action of a free group $G$ we may use our results to show that $C^* (E)$ is strongly Morita equivalent to the crossed product $C_0 ( \partial T ) \times G$, where $\partial T$ is a certain zero-dimensional space canonically associated to the tree.

Mackey's imprimitivity theorem characterizes the unitary representations of a locally compact group G which have been induced from representations of a closed subgroup K; Rieffel's influential reformulation says that the group C*-algebra C*(K) is Morita equivalent to the crossed product C0(G/K)×G [14]. There have since been many important generalizations of this theorem, especially by Rieffel [15, 16] and by Green [3, 4]. These are all special cases of the symmetric imprimitivity theorem of [11], which gives a Morita equivalence between two crossed products of induced C*-algebras.

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.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].
