The $K$-groups of the crossed product of the rotation C*-algebra $A_\theta$ by free and amalgamated products of the cyclic groups $\mathbb Z_n$, for $n=2,3,4,6$, are calculated. The actions here arise from the canonical actions of these…

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…

Let $G$ be a discrete group acting on a von Neumann algebra $M$ by properly outer $*$-automorphisms. In this paper we study the containment $M \subseteq M\rtimes_\alpha G$ of $M$ inside the crossed product. We characterize the intermediate…

Suppose that a locally compact group $G$ acts freely and properly on the right of a locally compact space $T$. Rieffel proved that if $\alpha$ is an action of $G$ on a $C^*$-algebra $A$ and there is an equivariant embedding of $C_0(T)$ in…

A result due to M. Gromov states that any two finitely generated groups {\Gamma} and {\Lambda} are quasi-isometric if and only if they admit a topological coupling, i.e., a commuting pair of proper continuous cocompact actions…

We consider an extendible endomorphism $\alpha$ of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We associate to it a canonical $C^*$-dynamical system $(B,\beta)$ that extends $(A,\alpha)$ and is `reversible' in the sense that the endomorphism $\beta$ admits a…

The crossed products of locally C*-algebras are defined and a Takai duality theorem for inverse limit actions of a locally compact group on a locally C*-algebra is proved.

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.

For a group $A$ acting by automorphisms on a group $G$, let $I_G(A)$ denote the set of commutators $[g,a]=g^{-1}g^a$, where $g\in G$ and $a\in A$, so that $[G,A]$ is the subgroup generated by $I_G(A)$. We prove that if $A$ is a $\pi$-group…

We examine the completely isometric automorphisms of a free product of noncommutative disc algebras. It will be established that such an automorphism is given simply by a completely isometric automorphism of each component of the free…

Consider a projective limit G of finite groups G_n. Fix a compatible family \delta^n of coactions of the G_n on a C*-algebra A. From this data we obtain a coaction \delta of G on A. We show that the coaction crossed product of A by \delta…

Every countable group $G$ can be embedded in a finitely generated group $G^*$ that is hopfian and complete, i.e. $G^*$ has trivial centre and every epimorphism $G^*\to G^*$ is an inner automorphism. Every finite subgroup of $G^*$ is…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

The aim of this paper is to study a problem raised by N. C. Phillips concerning the existence of Takai duality for $L^p$ operator crossed products $F^{p}(G,A,\alpha)$, where $G$ is a locally compact Abelian group, $A$ is an $L^{p}$ operator…

We study the word length entropy of automorphisms of residually nilpotent groups, and how the entropy of such group automorphisms relates to the entropy of induced automorphisms on various nilpotent quotients. We show that much like the…

We discuss the interplay between K-theoretical dynamics and the structure theory for certain C*-algebras arising from crossed products. For noncommutative C*-systems we present notions of minimality and topological transitivity in the…

For a locally compact metrizable group $G$, we consider the action of ${\rm Aut}(G)$ on ${\rm Sub}_G$, the space of all closed subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology. We study the structure of groups $G$ admitting automorphisms…

We study the relationship between the ultraproduct of a crossed product C*algebra $(A\rtimes_{r}G)^{\omega}$ and the crossed product of an ultraproduct C*algebra $A^{\omega}\rtimes _{r}G$ for a fixed free ultrafilter $\omega$ on…

Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…

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…
