We consider generalizations of the Sylvester matrix equation, consisting of the sum of a Sylvester operator and a linear operator $\Pi$ with a particular structure. More precisely, the commutator of the matrix coefficients of the operator…

We show that the category A(G) of actions of a locally compact group G on C*-algebras (with equivariant nondegenerate *-homomorphisms into multiplier algebras) is equivalent, via a full-crossed-product functor, to a comma category of…

Let A denote the C*-algebra of bounded operators on L^2(RxS^1) generated by: (a) multiplications by smooth functions on S^1; (b) multiplications by continuous functions on the two point compactification of R; (c) multiplications by…

We prove the first rigidity and classification theorems for crossed product von Neumann algebras given by actions of non-discrete, locally compact groups. We prove that for arbitrary free probability measure preserving actions of connected…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $\af$ be a homeomorphism on $X.$ Related to a theorem of Pimsner, we show that $C(X)\rtimes_{\af}\Z$ can be embedded into a unital simple AF-algebra if and only if there is a strictly positive…

C*-endomorphisms arising from superselection structures with non-trivial centre define a 'rank' and a 'first Chern class'. Crossed products by such endomorphisms involve the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a vector bundle having the…

The usual crossed product construction which associates to the homeomorphism $T$ of the locally compact space $X$ the C$^*$-algebra $C^*(X,T)$ is extended to the case of a partial local homeomorphism $T$. For example, the Cuntz-Krieger…

Suppose $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra and $H$ is a $C^*$-correspondence over $A$. If $H$ is regular in the sense that the left action of $A$ is faithful and is given by compact operators, then we compute the $K$-theory of $\mathcal{O}_A(H) \rtimes…

Let $F$ be a field, let $V$ be a valuation ring of $F$ of arbitrary Krull dimension (rank), let $K$ be a finite Galois extension of $F$ with group $G$, and let $S$ be the integral closure of $V$ in $K$. Let $f:G\times G\mapsto K\setminus…

We describe the representation theory of C*-crossed-products of a unital C*-algebra A by the cyclic group of order 2. We prove that there are two main types of irreducible representations for the crossed-product: those whose restriction to…

Let $A$ be a stably finite simple unital $C^*$-algebra and suppose $\alpha $ is an action of a finite group $G$ with the tracial Rokhlin property. Suppose further $A$ has real rank zero and the order on projections over $A$ is determined by…

The multiplicative group of a global field acts on its adele ring by multiplication. We consider the crossed product algebra of the resulting action on the space of Schwartz functions on the adele ring and compute its Hochschild, cyclic and…

Let $G$ be a group of order $k$. We consider the algebra $M_k(\mathbb{C})$ of $k$ by $k$ matrices over the complex numbers and view it as a crossed product with respect to $G$ by embedding $G$ in the symmetric group $S_k$ via the regular…

To a continuous action of a vector group on a $C^*$-algebra, twisted by the imaginary exponential of a symplectic form, one associates a Rieffel deformed algebra as well as a twisted crossed product. We show that the second one is…

It is shown that topological freeness of Rieffel's induced representation functor implies that any $C^*$-algebra generated by a faithful covariant representation of a Hilbert bimodule $X$ over a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is canonically isomorphic…

Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism \delta of a unital C*-algebra A we construct a crossed product. It is shown that the natural construction depends not only on the C*-dynamical system (A,\delta) but also on the choice of an ideal J…

We study rank functions on a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ via its abelianisation $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. We prove that every rank function on $\mathcal{C}$ can be interpreted as an additive function on…

In this partly expository paper we compare three different categories of C*-algebras in which crossed-product duality can be formulated, both for actions and for coactions of locally compact groups. In these categories, the isomorphisms…

Let $G$ be a group which admits a generating set consisting of finite order elements. We prove that any Hopf algebra which factorizes through the Taft algebra and the group Hopf algebra $K[G]$ (equivalently, any bicrossed product between…

We develop the theory of subproduct systems over the monoid $\mathbb{N}\times \mathbb{N}$, and the non-self-adjoint operator algebras associated with them. These are double sequences of Hilbert spaces $\{X(m,n)\}_{m,n=0}^\infty$ equipped…
