Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and $(X, \Gamma)$ a compact topological dynamical system. We study the question of the existence of an intermediate $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ $$C^{*}_{r}(\Gamma)<\mathcal{A}<C(X)\rtimes_r\Gamma,$$…

Let $B$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra, let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group, let $\alpha: \Gamma \to \text{Aut}(B)$ be an action, and let $A$ be an invariant subalgebra. We find certain freeness conditions which guarantee that any…

We prove simplicity of all intermediate $C^*$-algebras $C^*_{r}(\Gamma)\subseteq \mathcal{B} \subseteq \Gamma\ltimes_r C(X)$ in the case of minimal actions of $C^*$-simple groups $\Gamma$ on compact spaces $X$. For this, we use the notion…

Let $\alpha : \Gamma \curvearrowright A$ be an action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on a unital C*-algebra $A$ by *-automorphisms and let $A \rtimes_{\alpha,\lambda} \Gamma$ denote the corresponding reduced crossed product C*-algebra.…

Given a unital $C(X)$-algebra $A$ discrete group $\Gamma$ and an action $\alpha: \Gamma\to \text{aut}(A)$ which leaves $C(X)$ invariant and such that $C(X)\rtimes_{\alpha,r} \Gamma$ is simple, and a $2$-cocycle $\omega$, we obtain a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. When $\Gamma$ is nonamenable, the reduced and full group $C$*-algebras differ and it is generally believed that there should be many intermediate $C$*-algebras, however few examples are known. In this paper…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We say that $\Gamma$ has $C^*$-invariant subalgebra rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$-invariant $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}\le C_r^*(\Gamma)$ is of the form $C_r^*(N)$ for some normal…

Given an irreducible lattice $\Gamma$ in the product of higher rank simple Lie groups, we prove a co-finiteness result for the $\Gamma$-invariant von Neumann subalgebras of the group von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{L}(\Gamma)$, and for the…

Given a commensurated subgroup $\Lambda$ of a group $\Gamma$, we completely characterize when the inclusion $\Lambda\leq \Gamma$ is $C^*$-irreducible and provide new examples of such inclusions. In particular, we obtain that…

This paper concerns the non-commutative analog of the Normal Subgroup Theorem for certain groups. Inspired by Kalantar-Panagopoulos, we show that all $\Gamma$-invariant subalgebras of $L\Gamma$ and $C^*_r(\Gamma)$ are ($\Gamma$-)…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. We show that if $\Gamma$ is nonamenable, then the algebraic tensor products $C^*_r(\Gamma)\otimes C^*_r(\Gamma)$ and $C^*(\Gamma)\otimes C^*_r(\Gamma)$ do not admit unique $C^*$-norms. Moreover, when…

We study the simplicity of $C^{*}$-algebras built from group actions. For a faithful isometric action of a group $G$ on a countable metric space $X$, we use the associated action representation on $\ell^2(X)$ to define the action-based…

We study uniform perturbations of intermediate C*-subalgebras of inclusions of simple C*-algebras. If a unital simple C*-algebra has a simple C*-subalgebra of finite index, then sufficiently close simple intermediate C*-subalgebras are…

We prove that the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\Gamma,\partial\Gamma)$ of a free group $\Gamma$ with its boundary $\partial\Gamma$ naturally sits between the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r\Gamma$ and its injective envelope…

We examine inclusions of $C^*$-algebras of the form $A^H \subseteq A \rtimes_{r} G$, where $G$ and $H$ are groups acting on a unital simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ by outer automorphisms and $H$ is finite. It follows from a theorem of Izumi that…

We prove that an inclusion $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{A}$ of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a finite-index conditional expectation is regular if and only if there exists a finite group $G$ that admits a cocycle action…

We generalize W*-superrigidity results about Bernoulli actions of rigid groups to general mixing Gaussian actions. We thus obtain the following: If \Gamma\ is any ICC group which is w-rigid (i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup with…

We continue our investigation of binary actions of simple groups. In this paper, we demonstrate a connection between the graph $\Gamma(\mathcal{C})$ based on the conjugacy class $\mathcal{C}$ of the group $G$, which was introduced in our…

In this paper, we investigate *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras associated to \'etale groupoids. First, we prove that such a *-homomorphism can be described by closed invariant subsets, groupoid homomorphisms and cocycles under some…

To a directed graph $E$ is associated a $C^*$-algebra $C^* (E)$ called a graph $C^*$-algebra. There is a canonical action $\gamma$ of ${\bf T}$ on $C^* (E)$, called the gauge action. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient…
