Abstract

We characterize when the primitive ideal space of a crossed product \acg\acg of a \cs-algebra AA by a locally compact abelian group GG is a σ\sigma-trivial \ghatG\ghat G-space for the dual \ghatG\ghat G-action. Specifically, we show that \Prim(\acg)\Prim(\acg) is σ\sigma-trivial if and only if the quasi-orbit space is Hausdorff, the map which assigns to each quasi-orbit \w\w a certain subgroup \ttg(α\w)\ttg(\alpha^\w) of the Connes spectrum of the system (A\w,G,α\w)(A_\w,G,\alpha^\w) is continuous, and there is a generalized Green twisting map for (A,G,α)(A,G,\alpha). Our proof requires a substantial generalization of a theorem of Olesen and Pedersen in which we show that there is a generalized Green twisting map for (A,G,α)(A,G,\alpha) if and only if \acg\acg is isomorphic to a generalized induced algebra.
