Isomorphism between the reduced C*-algebra of a groupoid and the crossed product of inverse semigroups
In Paterson's book "Groupoids, Inverse Semigroups and their Operator Algebras" he proves that for any r-discrete groupoid $G$ with unit space $G^0$, its full $C^* $-algebra $C^* (G)$ is ...

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 ...

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 ...

A completely positive equivariant map $\varphi: A \to B$ induces a map $A \rtimes_r \Gamma \to B \rtimes_r \Gamma.$
Recall the construction of the reduced crossed product:
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group and $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra with an action $\alpha: \Gamma\to \operatorname{Aut}(A)$. Consider the $*$-algebra $...

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 ...
