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…

In this paper, we give a complete, two-way characterization, of when a noncommutative crossed product $A \rtimes_\lambda G$ is simple, in the case of $G$ being an FC-hypercentral group. This is a large class of amenable groups that contains…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $A$ a unital separable finite simple nuclear C*-algebra, and $\alpha$ an action of $G$ on $A$. Assume that $A$ absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$, the extremal boundary of the trace space of $A$ is compact…

We consider a family of dynamical systems (A,alpha,L) in which alpha is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for \alpha. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show…

Partial actions of discrete abelian groups can be used to construct both groupoid C*-algebras and partial crossed product algebras. In each case there is a natural notion of an analytic subalgebra. We show that for countable subgroups of…

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…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group. Consider the crossed product C$^\ast$-algebra $\mathfrak{R}(\Gamma) = C^{\ast}(\Gamma \rtimes l^{\infty}(\Gamma))$. Let $G$ be a larger discrete group, containing $\Gamma$ as an almost normal…

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…

Laca constructed a minimal automorphic dilation for every semigroup dynamical system arising from an action of an Ore semigroup by injective endomorphisms of a unital $C^*$-algebra. Here we show that the semigroup crossed product with its…

Given a dynamical system $(X, \Gamma)$, the corresponding crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C(X)\rtimes_{r}\Gamma$ is called reflecting, when every intermediate $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\Gamma)<\mathcal{A} < C(X)\rtimes_{r}\Gamma$ is of the form…

Building on previous work of Kadison--Ringrose, Elliott, Akemann--Pedersen, and this author, we prove a dichotomy for the relation of outer equivalence of derivations and unitary equivalence of derivable automorphisms for a separable…

We construct an example of a simple nuclear separable unital stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra along with an action of the circle such that the crossed product is simple but not Z-stable.

We generalize the main result of Kamalov and show that if $G$ is an amenable discrete group with an action $\alpha$ on a finite nuclear unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ such that the reduced crossed product $A\rtimes_{\alpha,r} G$ has property $T$,…

We study the C*-algebra crossed-product of the closed unit disk by the action of one of its conformal automorphisms. After classifying the conformal automorphisms up to topological conjugacy, we investigate, for each class, the irreducible…

We consider a crossed product of a unital simple separable nuclear stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra A by a strongly outer cocycle action of a discrete countable amenable group \Gamma. Under the assumption that A has finitely many extremal…

A group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple. We establish an intrinsic (group-theoretic) characterization of groups with this property. Specifically, we prove that a discrete group is C*-simple if and only if it has…

Starting with a spectral triple on a unital $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ with an action of a discrete group $G$, if the action is uniformly bounded (in a Lipschitz sense) a spectral triple on the reduced crossed product $C^{*}$-algebra $A\rtimes_{r}…

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…

We investigate the normal subgroups of the groups of invertibles and unitaries in the connected component of the identity. By relating normal subgroups to closed two-sided ideals we obtain a "sandwich condition" describing all the closed…

Let A be a unital separable C*-algebra, and D a K_1-injective strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra. We show that if A is D-absorbing, then the crossed product of A by a compact second countable group or by Z or by R is D-absorbing as well,…
