A base $Delta$ generating the topology of a space $M$ becomes a partially ordered set (poset), when ordered under inclusion of open subsets. Given a precosheaf over $Delta$ of fixed-point spaces (typically C*-algebras) under the action of a group $G$, in general one cannot find a precosheaf of $G$-spaces having it as fixed-point precosheaf. Rather one gets a gerbe over $Delta$, that is, a twisted precosheaf whose twisting is encoded by a cocycle with coefficients in a suitable 2-group. We give a notion of holonomy for a gerbe, in terms of a non-abelian cocycle over the fundamental group $pi_1(M)$. At the C*-algebraic level, holonomy leads to a general notion of twisted C*-dynamical system, based on a generic 2-group instead of the usual adjoint action on the underlying C*-algebra. As an application of these notions, we study presheaves of group duals (DR-presheaves) and prove that the dual object of a DR-presheaf is a group gerbe over $Delta$. It is also shown that any section of a DR-presheaf defines a twisted action of $pi_1(M)$ on a Cuntz algebra.

Given a double cover $pi: mathcal{G} rightarrow hat{mathcal{G}}$ of finite groupoids, we explicitly construct twisted loop transgression maps, $tau_{pi}$ and $tau_{pi}^{ref}$, thereby associating to a Jandl $n$-gerbe $hat{lambda}$ on $hat{mathcal{G}}$ a Jandl $(n-1)$-gerbe $tau_{pi}(hat{lambda})$ on the quotient loop groupoid of $mathcal{G}$ and an ordinary $(n-1)$-gerbe $tau^{ref}_{pi}(hat{lambda})$ on the unoriented quotient loop groupoid of $mathcal{G}$. For $n =1,2$, we interpret the character theory (resp. centre) of the category of Real $hat{lambda}$-twisted $n$-vector bundles over $hat{mathcal{G}}$ in terms of flat sections of the $(n-1)$-vector bundle associated to $tau_{pi}^{ref}(hat{lambda})$ (resp. the Real $(n-1)$-vector bundle associated to $tau_{pi}(hat{lambda})$). We relate our results to Re
We introduce the Haagerup property for twisted groupoid $C^*$-dynamical systems in terms of naturally defined positive-definite operator-valued multipliers. By developing a version of `the Haagerup trick we prove this property is equivalent to the Haagerup property of the reduced crossed product $C^*$-algebra with respect to the canonical conditional expectation $E$. This extends a theorem of Dong and Ruan for discrete group actions, and implies that a given Cartan inclusion of separable $C^*$-algebras has the Haagerup property if and only if the associated Weyl groupoid has the Haagerup property in the sense of Tu. We use the latter statement to prove that every separable $C^*$-algebra which has the Haagerup property with respect to some Cartan subalgebra satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. This generalizes a recent result of Barlak and Li on the UCT for nuclear Cartan pairs.
In this paper, we accomplish two objectives. Firstly, we extend and improve some results in the theory of (semi-)strongly self-absorbing C*-dynamical systems, which was introduced and studied in previous work. In particular, this concerns the theory when restricted to the case where all the semi-strongly self-absorbing actions are assumed to be unitarily regular, which is a mild technical condition. The central result in the first part is a strengthened version of the equivariant McDuff-type theorem, where equivariant tensorial absorption can be achieved with respect to so-called very strong cocycle conjugacy. Secondly, we establish completely new results within the theory. This mainly concerns how equivariantly $cal Z$-stable absorption can be reduced to equivariantly UHF-stable absorption with respect to a given semi-strongly self-absorbing action. Combining these abstract results with known uniqueness theorems due to Matui and Izumi-Matui, we obtain the following main result. If $G$ is a torsion-free abelian group and $cal D$ is one of the known strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras, then strongly outer $G$-actions on $cal D$ are unique up to (very strong) cocycle conjugacy. This is new even for $mathbb{Z}^3$-actions on the Jiang-Su algebra.
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian group. By modifying a theorem of Pedersen, it follows that actions of $G$ on $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ 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 $A$ and $B$ 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 $A$ and $B$. There is an alternative formulation of the problem: an action of the dual group $hat G$ together with a suitably equivariant unitary homomorphism of $G$ give rise to a generalized fixed-point algebra via Landstads theorem, and a problem related to the above is to produce an action of $hat G$ and two such equivariant unitary homomorphisms of $G$ that give distinct generalized fixed-point algebras. We present several situations where the condition on the images of $A$ and $B$ is redundant, and where having distinct generalized fixed-point algebras is impossible. For example, if $G$ is discrete, this will be the case for all actions of $G$.
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 Pedersens theorem, which does hold for an arbitrary locally compact group $G$, saying that two actions $(A,alpha)$ and $(B,beta)$ of $G$ are outer conjugate if and only if the dual coactions $(Artimes_{alpha}G,widehatalpha)$ and $(Brtimes_{beta}G,widehatbeta)$ of $G$ are conjugate via an isomorphism that maps the image of $A$ onto the image of $B$ (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.
