We show that induction of covariant representations for C*-dynamical systems is natural in the sense that it gives a natural transformation between certain crossed-product functors. This involves setting up suitable categories of C*-algebras and dynamical systems, and extending the usual constructions of crossed products to define the appropriate functors. From this point of view, Green's Imprimitivity Theorem identifies the functors for which induction is a natural equivalence. Various spcecial cases of these results have previously been obtained on an ad hoc basis.
The first imprimitivity theorems identified the representations of groups or dynamical systems which are induced from representations of a subgroup. Symmetric imprimitivity theorems identify pairs of crossed products by different groups which are Morita equivalent, and hence have the same representation theory. Here we consider commuting actions of groups $H$ and $K$ on a $C^*$-algebra which are saturated and proper as defined by Rieffel in 1990. Our main result says that the resulting Morita equivalence of crossed products is natural in the sense that it is compatible with homomorphisms and i…
We consider a fixed free and proper action of a locally compact group $G$ on a space $T$, and actions $α:G\to \Aut A$ on $C^*$-algebras for which there is an equivariant embedding of $(C_0(T),\rt)$ in $(M(A),α)$. A recent theorem of Rieffel implies that $α$ is proper and saturated with respect to the subalgebra $C_0(T)AC_0(T)$ of $A$, so that his general theory of proper actions gives a Morita equivalence between $A\rtimes_{α,r}G$ and a generalised fixed-point algebra $A^α$. Here we investigate the functor $(A,α)\mapsto A^α$ and the naturality of Rieffel's Morita equivalence, focusing in parti…
In this paper, we define the notion of induced representations of a Hilbert $C^{*}$-module and we show that Morita equivalence of two Hilbert modules (in the sense of Moslehian and Joita), implies the equivalence of categories of non-degenerate representations of two Hilbert modules.
We study induced representations of Hilbert modules over locally C*-algebras and their non-degeneracy. We show that if $V$ and $W$ are Morita equivalent Hilbert modules over locally C*-algebras $A$ and $B$, respectively, then there exists a bijective correspondence between equivalence classes of non-degenerate representations of $V$ and $W$.
We give precise conditions under which irreducible representations associated to stability groups induce to irreducible representations for Fell bundle C*-algebras. This result generalizes an earlier result of Echterhoff and the second author. Because the Fell bundle construction subsumes most other examples of C*-algebras constructed from dynamical systems, our result percolates down to many different constructions including the many flavors of groupoid crossed products.
We review various notions of correspondences for locally compact groupoids with Haar systems, in particular a recent definition due to R.D. Holkar. We give the construction of the representations induced by such a correspondence. Finally, we extend the construction of induced representations to hypergroupoids.
Given any linear isometry from a Hilbert space to its square one can explicitly construct a so-called Pythagorean unitary representation of Richard Thompson's group F. We introduce a condition on the isometry implying that the associated representation does not contain any induced representations by finite-dimensional ones. This provides the first result of this kind. We illustrate this theorem via a family of representations parametrised by the real 3-sphere for which all of them have this property except two sub-circles.
Harmonic analysis of fractal measures induced by representations of a certain C$^*$-algebra
我们在$\br^d$中描述了一类可测子集$Ω$，使得$L^2(Ω)$具有由$λ\inΛ\subset\br^d$索引的频率正交基$e_λ(x)=e^{i2πλ\cdot x}(x\inΩ)$。我们表明，这样的频谱对$(Ω,Λ)$具有自相似性，可用于生成相关的分形措施$μ$与康托集的支持。希尔伯特空间$L^2(μ)$不具有正交频率的总集合，但是$μ$的调和分析可以替代地从Cuntz C $^*$ -代数的自然表示构建，该Cuntz C $^*$ -代数由支持给定谱对$(Ω,Λ)$的一对格构造。相反，我们表明，这样的一对可以重建从一定的Cuntz表示给予作用于$L^2(μ)$。
We extend to arbitrary commutative base rings a recent result of Demeneghi that every ideal of an ample groupoid algebra over a field is an intersection of kernels of induced representations from isotropy groups, with a much shorter proof, by using the author's Disintegration Theorem for groupoid representations. We also prove that every primitive ideal is the kernel of an induced representation from an isotropy group; however, we are unable to show, in general, that it is the kernel of an irreducible induced representation. If each isotropy group is finite (e.g., if the groupoid is principal)…
Induced representations of $\ast$-algebras by unbounded operators in Hilbert space are investigated. Conditional expectations of a $\ast$-algebra $\cA$ onto a unital $\ast$-subalgebra $\cB$ are introduced and used to define inner products on the corresponding induced modules. The main part of the paper is concerned with group graded $\ast$-algebras $\cA=\oplus_{g\in G}\cA_g$ for which the *-subalgebra $\cB:=\cA_e$ is commutative. Then the canonical projection $p:\cA\to\cB$ is a conditional expectation and there is a partial action of the group $G$ on the set $\cBp$ of all characters of $\cB$ w…
We consider three quantum algebras: the q-oscillator algebra, the Podles' sphere and the q-deformed enveloping algebra of $su(2).$ To each of these *-algebras we associate certain partial dynamical system and perform the "Mackey analysis" of *-representations developed in [SS]. As a result we get the description of "standard" irreducible *-representations. Further, for each of these examples we show the existence of a "$C^*$-envelope" which is canonically isomorphic to the covariance $C^*$-algebra of the partial dynamical system. Finally, for the q-oscillator algebra and the q-deformed $\cU(su…
A QSIN group is a locally compact group $G$ whose group algebra $L^1(G)$ admits a quasi-central bounded approximate identity. Examples of QSIN groups include every amenable group and every discrete group. It is shown that if $G$ is a QSIN group, $H$ is a closed subgroup of $G$, and $π$ is a unitary representation of $H$, then $π$ is weakly contained in $(\mathrm{Ind}_H^Gπ)|_H$. This provides a powerful tool in studying the C*-algebras of QSIN groups. In particular, it is shown that if $G$ is a QSIN group which contains a copy of $\mathbb F_2$ as a closed subgroup, then $C^*(G)$ is not locally …
We characterize the groupoids for which an operator is Fredholm if, and only if, its principal symbol and all its boundary restrictions are invertible. A groupoid with this property is called {\em Fredholm}. Using results on the Effros-Hahn conjecture, we show that an almost amenable, Hausdorff, second countable groupoid is Fredholm. Many groupoids, and hence many pseudodifferential operators appearing in practice, fit into this framework. In particular, one can use these results to characterize the Fredholm operators on manifolds with cylindrical and poly-cylindrical ends, on manifolds that a…
