Twisted crossed product von Neumann Algebras

I asked a question over on Math.stackexchange a few days ago, but it didn't get much activity. Hopefully this question isn't considered too elementary by the standards of Mathoverflow. Here is what I ...

Non-existence of projections in crossed product

If $X$ is a smooth manifold on which a Lie group $G$ acts properly and cocompactly (meaning $X/G$ is compact), then one can find a compactly support cut-off function $c:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such ...

When is a crossed-product algebra a division algebra?

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G$. For every 2-cocycle $\gamma$ of $G$ with values in $L^\times$ there is the crossed-product $K$-algebra $$S(L,G,\gamma) = \bigoplus_{g\in ...

An almost complex structure on $\Bbb S^n$ induces a cross product on $\Bbb R^{n+1}$

It is known that the only spheres that admit an almost complex structures are $\Bbb S^2$ and $\Bbb S^6$ (Borel and Serre, 1953). In particular, $\Bbb S^4$ cannot be given an almost complex structure (...

Generalized wreath products of commutative algebras with Hopf algebras

Fix $k$ a commutative ring (or, if more convenient, assume it’s a field or even an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, which is the case I’m mainly interested in). Let $A$ be a unital ...

Reference request for embedding of a tensor product $C^*$-algebra

I am studying Ruy Exel's paper "A new look at the crossed product of a $C^*$-algebra by a semigroup of endomorphisms." In the proof of Theorem 11.7 he writes: Let $G$ be ameanable, thus $C^*(...

Subalgebra of a crossed product central division algebra, generated by powers of group elements

Let $k=\mathbb C$, let $K$ be a finite extension of the field $k(X_1,X_2,X_3)$ of rational functions in $3$ variables, let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension of commutative fields and let the Galois ...

Amenability for Actions twited with 2-cocycles

Let $A \subset B(H)$ be a unital $C^\ast$-algebra and $\theta: G \rightarrow \mathrm{Aut}(A)$ an action and let $\omega: G \times G \rightarrow U(\mathcal{Z}(A))$ be a $2$-cocyle with respect to $\...

Does Poincaré duality link topological study and representation study of a given Lie group?

The Poincaré duality for an oriented n-manifold M takes the form : $$H^\star(M) \simeq H_c^{n-\star}(M)^\vee.$$ Instead of M take now a real Lie group G. We can basically study it by looking at its ...

For a separable v-N algebra M, how to see $M \rtimes \mathbb{R}$ as a subalgebra of $M \otimes B(L^2)$?

For a v-N algebra $M$ acting as bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space $H$, how to see $M \rtimes \mathbb{R}$ as a subalgebra of $M \otimes B(L^2(\mathbb{R})$? Why I am confused is because $...
