In further study of the application of crossed-product functors to the Baum-Connes Conjecture, Buss, Echterhoff, and Willett introduced various other properties that crossed-product functors may have. Here we introduce and study analogues of these properties for coaction functors, making sure that the properties are preserved when the coaction functors are composed with the full crossed product to make a crossed-product functor. The new properties for coaction functors studied here are functoriality for generalized homomorphisms and the correspondence property. We particularly study the connections with the ideal property. The study of functoriality for generalized homomorphisms requires a detailed development of the Fischer construction of maximalization of coactions with regard to possibly degenerate homomorphisms into multiplier algebras. We verify that all KLQ functors arising from large ideals of the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ have all the properties we study, and at the opposite extreme we give an example of a coaction functor having none of the properties.
For a discrete group $G$, we develop a `$G$-balanced tensor product of two coactions $(A,delta)$ and $(B,epsilon)$, which takes place on a certain subalgebra of the maximal tensor product $Aotimes_{max} B$. Our motivation for this is that we are able to prove that given two actions of $G$, the dual coaction on the crossed product of the maximal-tensor-product action is isomorphic to the $G$-balanced tensor product of the dual coactions. In turn, our motivation for this is to give an analogue, for coaction functors, of a crossed-product functor originated by Baum, Guentner, and Willett, and further developed by Buss, Echterhoff, and Willett, that involves tensoring an action with a fixed action $(C,gamma)$, then forming the image inside the crossed product of the maximal-tensor-product action. We prove that composing our tensor-product coaction functor with the full crossed product of an action reproduces the tensor-crossed-product functor of Baum, Guentner, and Willett. We prove that every such tensor-product coaction functor is exact, thereby recovering the analogous result for the tensor-crossed-product functors of Baum, Guentner, and Willett. When $(C,gamma)$ is the action by translation on $ell^infty(G)$, we prove that the associated tensor-product coaction functor is minimal, generalizing the analogous result of Buss, Echterhoff, and Willett for tensor-crossed-product functors.
We develop an approach, using what we call tensor $D$ coaction functors, to the $C$-crossed-product functors of Baum, Guentner, and Willett. We prove that the tensor $D$ functors are exact, and identify the minimal such functor. This continues our program of applying coaction functors as a tool in the Baum-Guentner-Willett-Buss-Echterhoff campaign to attempt to fix the Baum-Connes conjecture.
A cosystem consists of a possibly nonselfadoint operator algebra equipped with a coaction by a discrete group. We introduce the concept of C*-envelope for a cosystem; roughly speaking, this is the smallest C*-algebraic cosystem that contains an equivariant completely isometric copy of the original one. We show that the C*-envelope for a cosystem always exists and we explain how it relates to the usual C*-envelope. We then show that for compactly aligned product systems over group-embeddable right LCM semigroups, the C*-envelope is co-universal, in the sense of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello, for the Fock tensor algebra equipped with its natural coaction. This yields the existence of a co-universal C*-algebra, generalizing previous results of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello, and of Dor-On and Katsoulis. We also realize the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra as the reduced cross sectional algebra of a Fell bundle introduced by Sehnem, which, under a mild assumption of normality, we then identify to the quotient of the Fock algebra by the image of Sehnems strong covariance ideal. In another application, we obtain a reduced Hao-Ng isomorphism theorem for the co-universal algebras.
Let $R=K[X_1,ldots, X_n]$ where $K$ is a field of characteristic zero, and let $A_n(K)$ be the $n^{th}$ Weyl algebra over $K$. We give standard grading on $R$ and $A_n(K)$. Let $I$, $J$ be homogeneous ideals of $R$. Let $M = H^i_I(R)$ and $N = H^j_J(R)$ for some $i, j$. We show that $Ext_{A_n(K)}^{ u}(M,N)$ is concentrated in degree zero for all $ u geq 0$, i.e., $Ext_{A_n(K)}^{ u}(M,N)_l=0$ for $l eq0$. This proves a conjecture stated in part I of this paper.
We show norm estimates for the sum of independent random variables in noncommutative $L_p$-spaces for $1<p<infty$ following our previous work. These estimates generalize the classical Rosenthal inequality in the commutative case. Among applications, we derive an equivalence for the $p$-norm of the singular values of a random matrix with independent entries, and characterize those symmetric subspaces and unitary ideals which can be realized as subspaces of a noncommutative $L_p$ for $2<p<infty$.
