Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra acting in a Hilbert space $H$, and let $\rho$ be a representation of a group $G$ on a Hilbert space $K$. Define $M\rtimes_\rho G$ to be a von Neumann algebra acting in the Hilbert space $H\bar\otimes K$ generated by $$x\otimes\rho(g), \quad x\in M, g\in G$$ Is the von Neumann algebra $M\rtimes_\rho G$ studied?

    $\begingroup$ but what is your multiplication? the trivial one leads to $M \otimes VN^*(G)$ !? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @hänsel Do you know somewhere which this kind of crossed product is studied with non trivial multiplication? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @MeisamSoleimaniMalekan: with $G \subset Aut(M)$ you can get a non-trivial multiplication via the usual crossed product: see Chapter X in Takesaki's book Theory of Operator Algebras II. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 12, 2018 at 9:50
