We study simplicity and pure infiniteness criteria for C*-algebras associated to inverse semigroup actions by Hilbert bimodules and to Fell bundles over etale not necessarily Hausdorff groupoids. Inspired by recent work of Exel and Pitts,…
Let $G$ be a discrete group acting on a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ by $*$-automorphisms. We characterize (in terms of the dynamics) when the inclusion $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathcal{A} \rtimes_r G$ has a unique conditional…
We generalise various non-triviality conditions for group actions to Fell bundles over discrete groups and prove several implications between them. We also study sufficient criteria for the reduced section C*-algebra C_r(B) of a Fell bundle…
For an action of a finite group on a C*-algebra, we present some conditions under which properties of the C*-algebra pass to the crossed product or the fixed point algebra. We mostly consider the ideal property, the projection property,…
Let $A\subseteq B$ be a $C^*$-inclusion. We give efficient conditions under which $A$ separates ideals in $B$, and $B$ is purely infinite if every positive element in $A$ is properly infinite in $B$. We specialise to the case when $B$ is a…
Let $D \subseteq A$ be an inclusion of unital abelian $C^*$-algebras. In this note we characterize (in topological terms) when there is a unique conditional expectation $E:A \to D$, at least when $A$ is separable. As an application, we…
If $\alpha$ is an amenable action of a discrete group $G$ on a unital C*-algebra $A$, then the crossed-product C*-algebra $A\rtimes_\alpha G$ has the weak expectation property if and only if $A$ has this property.
We define spectral freeness for actions of discrete groups on C*-algebras. We relate spectral freeness to other freeness conditions; an example result is that for an action of a finite group, spectral freeness is equivalent to strong…
We prove a version of uniqueness theorem for Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of discrete product systems over semigroups of Ore type. To this end, we introduce Doplicher-Roberts picture of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, and the semigroup dual to a product…
We obtain a Galois correspondence between the lattice of intermediate C*-discrete subalgebras intermediate to a given irreducible C*-discrete inclusion, and characterize these as targets of compatible expectations under a traciality…
We characterise Exel's noncommutative Cartan subalgebras in several ways using uniqueness of conditional expectations, relative commutants, or purely outer inverse semigroup actions. We describe in which sense the crossed product…
We consider group actions of topological groups on C*-algebras of the types which occur in many physics models. These are singular actions in the sense that they need not be strongly continuous, or the group need not be locally compact. We…
We analyze existence of crossed product constructions of Lie group actions on C^*-algebras which are singular. These are actions where the group need not be locally compact, or the action need not be strongly continuous. In particular, we…
For a number of properties of C*-algebras, including real rank zero, stable rank one, pure infiniteness, residual hereditary infiniteness, the combination of pure infiniteness and the ideal property, the property of being an AT algebra with…
We study regular irreducible inclusions $B\subset A$ of simple unital $C^*$-algebras admitting a conditional expectation. We introduce a generalized notion of quasi-basis extending Watatani's framework and show that such inclusions admit a…
We characterize supramenable groups in terms of existence of invariant probability measures for partial actions on compact Hausdorff spaces and existence of tracial states on partial crossed products. These characterizations show that, in…
We define the decomposition property for partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras. Decomposable partial systems appear naturally in practice, and many commonly occurring partial actions can be decomposed into partial actions…
Let $j:Y \to X$ be a continuous surjection of compact metric spaces. Whyburn proved that $j$ is irreducible, meaning that $j(F) \subsetneq X$ for any proper closed subset $F \subsetneq Y$, if and only if $j$ is almost one-to-one, in the…
We study the problem of extending a state on an abelian $C^*$- subalgebra to a tracial state on the ambient $C^*$-algebra. We propose an approach that is well-suited to the case of regular inclusions, in which there is a large supply of…
To each monoid $P$ that embeds in a group we associate a universal Toeplitz C*-algebra $T_u(P)$ defined via generators and relations; $T_u(P)$ is a quotient of Li's semigroup C*-algebra $C^*(P)$ and they are isomorphic if and only if $P$…
