Let $(mathcal G, Sigma)$ be an ordered abelian group with Haar measure $mu$, let $(mathcal A, mathcal G, alpha)$ be a dynamical system and let $mathcal Artimes_{alpha} Sigma $ be the associated semicrossed product. Using Takai duality we establish a stable isomorphism [ mathcal Artimes_{alpha} Sigma sim_{s} big(mathcal A otimes mathcal K(mathcal G, Sigma, mu)big)rtimes_{alphaotimes {rm Ad}: rho} mathcal G, ] where $mathcal K(mathcal G, Sigma, mu)$ denotes the compact operators in the CSL algebra ${rm Alg}:mathcal L(mathcal G, Sigma, mu)$ and $rho$ denotes the right regular representation of $mathcal G$. We also show that there exists a complete lattice isomorphism between the $hat{alpha}$-invariant ideals of $mathcal Artimes_{alpha} Sigma$ and the $(alphaotimes {rm Ad}: rho)$-invariant ideals of $mathcal A otimes mathcal K(mathcal G, Sigma, mu)$. Using Takai duality we also continue our study of the Radical for the crossed product of an operator algebra and we solve open problems stemming from the earlier work of the authors. Among others we show that the crossed product of a radical operator algebra by a compact abelian group is a radical operator algebra. We also show that the permanence of semisimplicity fails for crossed products by $mathbb R$. A final section of the paper is devoted to the study of radically tight dynamical systems, i.e., dynamical systems $(mathcal A, mathcal G, alpha)$ for which the identity ${rm Rad}(mathcal A rtimes_alpha mathcal G)=({rm Rad}:mathcal A) rtimes_alpha mathcal G$ persists. A broad class of such dynamical systems is identified.
We study crossed products of arbitrary operator algebras by locally compact groups of completely isometric automorphisms. We develop an abstract theory that allows for generalizations of many of the fundamental results from the selfadjoint theory to our context. We complement our generic results with the detailed study of many important special cases. In particular we study crossed products of tensor algebras, triangular AF algebras and various associated C*-algebras. We make contributions to the study of C*-envelopes, semisimplicity, the semi-Dirichlet property, Takai duality and the Hao-Ng isomorphism problem. We also answer questions from the pertinent literature.
We consider a twisted noncommutative join procedure for unital $C^*$-algebras which admit actions by a compact abelian group $G$ and its discrete abelian dual $Gamma$, so that we may investigate an analogue of Baum-Dabrowski-Hajac noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam theory in the twisted setting. Namely, under what conditions is it guaranteed that an equivariant map $phi$ from a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ to the twisted join of $A$ and $C^*(Gamma)$ cannot exist? This pursuit is motivated by the twisted analogues of even spheres, which admit the same $K_0$ groups as even spheres and have an analogous Borsuk-Ulam theorem that is detected by $K_0$, despite the fact that the objects are not themselves deformations of a sphere. We find multiple sufficient conditions for twisted Borsuk-Ulam theorems to hold, one of which is the addition of another equivariance condition on $phi$ that corresponds to the choice of twist. However, we also find multiple examples of equivariant maps $phi$ that exist even under fairly restrictive assumptions. Finally, we consider an extension of unital contractibility (in the sense of Dabrowski-Hajac-Neshveyev) modulo $k$.
We establish the Hao-Ng isomorphism for generalized gauge actions of locally compact abelian groups on product systems over abelian lattice orders and we then use it to explore Takai duality in this context. As an application we generalize related work of Schafhauser.
Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra and let $alpha$ be an automorphism of $A$ that extends to a *-automorphism of its $ca$-envelope $cenv (A)$. In this paper we introduce the isometric semicrossed product $A times_{alpha}^{is} bbZ^+ $ and we show that $cenv(A times_{alpha}^{is} bbZ^+) simeq cenv (A) times_{alpha} bbZ$. In contrast, the $ca$-envelope of the familiar contractive semicrossed product $A times_{alpha} bbZ^+ $ may not equal $cenv (A) times_{alpha} bbZ$. Our main tool for calculating $ca$-envelopes for semicrossed products is the concept of a relative semicrossed product of an operator algebra, which we explore in the more general context of injective endomorphisms. As an application, we extend a recent result of Davidson and Katsoulis to tensor algebras of $ca$-correspondences. We show that if $T_{X}^{+}$ is the tensor algebra of a $ca$-correspondence $(X, fA)$ and $alpha$ a completely isometric automorphism of $T_{X}^{+}$ that fixes the diagonal elementwise, then the contractive semicrossed product satisfies $ cenv(T_{X}^{+} times_{alpha} bbZ^+)simeq O_{X} times_{alpha} bbZ$, where $O_{X}$ denotes the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of $(X, fA)$.
Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $Lambda$ be a $Z^k$ ($kge 1$) action on $X.$ We give a solution to a version of Voiculescus problem of AF-embedding: The crossed product $C(X)rtimes_{Lambda}Z^k$ can be embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra if and only if $X$ admits a strictly positive $Lambda$-invariant Borel probability measure. Let $C$ be a unital AH-algebra, let $G$ be a finitely generated abelian group and let $Lambda: Gto Aut(C)$ be a monomorphism. We show that $Crtimes_{Lambda} G$ can be embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra if and only if $C$ admits a faithful $Lambda$-invariant tracial state.
