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 ...

A completely positive equivariant map $\varphi: A \to B$ induces a map on the full crossed products

Let $G$ be a discrete group. Let $(A,\alpha)$ and $(B,\beta)$ be $G$-$C^*$-algebras and $\varphi: A \to B$ be $G$-equivariant and completely positive. All crossed products in this post are full (= ...

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 ...

Crossed products and unitaries implementing $\mathbb{Z}_n$-actions

I'm working through Li's and Barlak's Cartan Subalgebras and the UCT Problem but I'm stuck at one of the simpler proofs of the paper. On page 9 they deal with masas (maximal abelian subalgebras) of a ...

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 $\...

commutative diagram with $K_{i+1}(A)\to K_i(A\rtimes_{\rho} \mathbb{R})$ (for $C^*$-algebras)

I have a question about a proof in Rosenberg and Schochet's paper "the Künneth theorem and the Universal Coefficient Theorem for Kasparov's generalized K-functor", proposition 2.6. First of all, the ...

An unconventional definition of the $ C^{*} $-algebraic reduced crossed product

Let $ (A,G,\alpha) $ be a $ C^{*} $-dynamical system, i.e., $ A $ is a $ C^{*} $-algebra, $ G $ is a locally compact Hausdorff group and $ \alpha $ is a strongly continuous action of $ G $ on $ A $ by ...

Crossed Products by Permutation Groups

What can be said about the following crossed product $C^*$-algebra? Let $A$ be a Kirchberg algebra with $K_0(A) = \mathbb{Q}$ and $K_1(A) = 0$. Consider the direct sum of $n$ copies of $A$, i.e. $B = ...

Extending a $ * $-Representation of $ ({C_{c}}(G,\mathscr{A}),\star,^{*}) $ to a $ * $-Representation of $ \mathscr{A} \rtimes_{\alpha} G $

Let $ (\mathscr{A},G,\alpha) $ be a $ C^{*} $-dynamical system, and consider the twisted convolution $ * $-algebra $ ({L^{1}}(G,\mathscr{A}),\star,^{*}) $ defined by \begin{align*} \forall \phi,\psi \...

‘Non-Induced’ Left Regular Representations of $ C^{*} $-Dynamical Systems

In what follows, a ‘$ * $-representation’ always means a non-degenerate $ * $-representation. Let $ (\mathscr{A},G,\alpha) $ be a $ C^{*} $-dynamical system, and let $ \pi: \mathscr{A} \to B(\mathcal{...

States/functionals on crossed product C*-algebras

Let $A$ be a C*-algebra, $\alpha$ a strongly continuous automorphic action by a locally compact group $G$ on $A$, and consider the crossed product $A\rtimes_\alpha G$. I am looking for references ...
