Starting from a discrete $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathfrak{A}, \theta, \omega_o)$, we define and study most of the main ergodic properties of the crossed product $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathfrak{A}\rtimes_\alpha\mathbb{Z}, \Phi_{\theta,…

Starting with a complex commutative semi-simple regular Banach algebra $A$ and an automorphism $\sigma$ of $A$, we form the crossed product of $A$ with the integers, where the latter act on $A$ via iterations of $\sigma$. The automorphism…

Building on an argument by Toms and Winter, we show that if $A$ is a simple, separable, unital, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable C*-algebra, then the crossed product of $C(X,A)$ by an automorphism is also Z-stable, provided that the automorphism…

We show that some $C^*$--dynamical systems obtained by "quantizing" classical ones on the free Fock space, enjoy very strong ergodic properties. Namely, if the classical dynamical system $(X, T, \m)$ is ergodic but not weakly mixing, then…

For a fixed C*-algebra A, we consider all noncommutative dynamical systems that can be generated by A. More precisely, an A-dynamical system is a triple (i,B,\alpha) where $\alpha$ is a *-endomorphism of a C*-algebra B, and i: A --> B is…

We consider separable $C^*$-dynamical systems $(A,G,\alpha)$ for which the induced action of the group $G$ on the spectrum $\hat A$ of the $C^*$-algebra $A$ is free. We study how the representation theory of the associated crossed-product…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a C*-algebra and $\alpha:\mathcal{C} \rightarrow \mathcal{C}$ a unital *-endomorphism. There is a natural way to construct operator algebras which are called semicrossed products, using a convolution induced by the…

Let A be an exact C^*-algebra, let G be a locally compact group, and let (A,G,\alpha) be a C*-dynamical system. Each automorphism \alpha_g induces a spatial automorphism Ad_{\lamba_g} on the reduced crossed product A\times_\alpha G. In this…

Let $X$ be the Cantor set and $\phi$ be a minimal homeomorphism on $X\times\T$. We show that the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C^*(X\times\T,\phi)$ is a simple $A\T$-algebra provided that the associated cocycle takes its values in…

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…

A notion of unique ergodicity relative to the fixed-point subalgebra is defined for automorphisms of unital C*-algebras. It is proved that the free shift on any reduced amalgamated free product C*-algebra is uniquely ergodic relative to its…

We find the range of a trace on the $K_0$ group of a crossed product by a time-$t$ automorphism of a mapping torus. We also find a formula to compute the Voiculescu-Brown entropy for such an automorphism. By specializing to the commutative…

Let $(\A, \alpha)$ and $(\B, \beta)$ be C*-dynamical systems and assume that $\A$ is a separable simple C*-algebra and that $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are *-automorphisms. Then the semicrossed products $\A \times_{\alpha} \bbZ^{+}$ and $\B…

We argue that simple dynamical systems are factors of finite automata, regarded as dynamical systems on discontinuum. We show that any homeomorphism of the real interval is of this class. An orientation preserving homeomorphism of the…

When $\alpha$ is an approximately inner flow on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ and commutes with an automorphism $\gamma$ of $A$ we may extend $\alpha$ to a flow $\bar{\alpha}$ on the crossed product $A\times_\gamma Z$ by setting $\bar{\alpha}_t(U)=U$…

In this paper we study unique ergodicity of $C^*$-dynamical system $(\ga,T)$, consisting of a unital $C^*$-algebra $\ga$ and a Markov operator $T:\ga\mapsto\ga$, relative to its fixed point subspace, in terms of Riesz summation which is…

We have introduced a notion of $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system in [K. Matsumoto: Actions of symbolic dynamical systems on $C^*$-algebras, to appear in J. Reine Angew. Math.], that is a finite family of endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra with…

Partial dynamical systems (X,alpha) arise naturally when dealing with commutative C*-dynamical system (A,delta). We associate with every pair (X,alpha), or (A,delta), a covariance C*-algebra C*(X,alpha)=C*(A,delta) which agrees with a…

Let a countable amenable group G acts freely and ergodically on a Lebesgue space (X,mu), preserving the measure mu. If T is an automorphism of the equivalence relation defined by G then T can be extended to an automorphism alpha_T of the…

We show that a factor $M$ is full if and only if the $C^*$-algebra generated by its left and right regular representations contains the compact operators. We prove that the bicentralizer flow of a type $\mathrm{III}_1$ factor is always…
