Title: Crossed products and $\mathrm{C}^{*}$-covers of semi-Dirichlet operator algebras
In this paper, we show that the semi-Dirichlet\mathrm{C}^{*}-covers of a semi-Dirichlet operator algebra form a complete lattice, establishing that there is a maximal semi-Dirichlet\mathrm{C}^{*}-cover. Given an operator algebra dynamical system we prove a dilation theory that shows that the full crossed product is isomorphic to the relative full crossed product with respect to this maximal semi-Dirichlet cover. In this way, we can show that every semi-Dirichlet dynamical system has a semi-Dirichlet full crossed product.  more » « less

  1. We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I\mathrm{C}^*-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the\mathrm{C}^*-algebra in question is an extension of a non-zero finite direct sum of elementary\mathrm{C}^*-algebras by a commutative unital\mathrm{C}^*-algebra then it must be finite-dimensional.

  2. We study homeomorphisms of a Cantor set with$$k$$($$k<+\infty$$) minimal invariant closed (but not open) subsets; we also study crossed product C*-algebras associated to these Cantor systems and certain of their orbit-cut sub-C*-algebras. In the case where$$k\geq 2$$, the crossed product C*-algebra is stably finite, has stable rank 2, and has real rank 0 if in addition$$(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$$is aperiodic. The image of the index map is connected to certain directed graphs arising from the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model of the Cantor system. Using this, it is shown that the ideal of the Bratteli diagram (of the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model) must have at least$$k$$vertices at each level, and the image of the index map must consist of infinitesimals.

    Fell’s absorption principle states that the left regular representation of a group absorbs any unitary representation of the group when tensored with it. In a weakened form, this result carries over to the left regular representation of a right LCM submonoid of a group and its Nica-covariant isometric representations but it fails if the semigroup does not satisfy independence. In this paper, we explain how to extend Fell’s absorption principle to an arbitrary submonoidPof a groupGby using an enhanced version of the left regular representation. Li’s semigroup\mathrm{C}^{*}-algebra\mathrm{C}^{*}_{s}(P)and its representations appear naturally in our context. Using the enhanced left regular representation, we not only provide a very concrete presentation for the reduced object for\mathrm{C}^{*}_{s}(P)but we also resolve open problems and obtain very transparent proofs of earlier results. In particular, we address the non-selfadjoint theory and we show that the non-selfadjoint object attached to the enhanced left regular representation coincides with that of the left regular representation. We obtain a non-selfadjoint version of Fell’s absorption principle involving the tensor algebra of a semigroup and we use it to improve recent results of Clouâtre and Dor-On on the residual finite dimensionality of certain\mathrm{C}^{*}-algebras associated with such tensor algebras. As another application, we give yet another proof for the existence of a\mathrm{C}^{*}-algebra which is co-universal for equivariant, Li-covariant representations of a submonoidPof a groupG.

  4. Abstract We prove novel asymptotic freeness results in tracial ultraproduct von Neumann algebras. In particular, we show that whenever$$M = M_1 \ast M_2$$is a tracial free product von Neumann algebra and$$u_1 \in \mathscr U(M_1)$$,$$u_2 \in \mathscr U(M_2)$$are Haar unitaries, the relative commutants$$\{u_1\}' \cap M^{\mathcal U}$$and$$\{u_2\}' \cap M^{\mathcal U}$$are freely independent in the ultraproduct$$M^{\mathcal U}$$. Our proof relies on Mei–Ricard’s results [MR16] regarding$$\operatorname {L}^p$$-boundedness (for all$$1 < p < +\infty $$) of certain Fourier multipliers in tracial amalgamated free products von Neumann algebras. We derive two applications. Firstly, we obtain a general absorption result in tracial amalgamated free products that recovers several previous maximal amenability/Gamma absorption results. Secondly, we prove a new lifting theorem which we combine with our asymptotic freeness results and Chifan–Ioana–Kunnawalkam Elayavalli’s recent construction [CIKE22] to provide the first example of a$$\mathrm {II_1}$$factor that does not have property Gamma and is not elementary equivalent to any free product of diffuse tracial von Neumann algebras.

  5. Abstract We study the Eisenstein series associated to the full rank cusps in a complete hyperbolic manifold. We show that given a Kleinian group$$\Gamma <{\operatorname{\mathrm{Isom}}}^+(\mathbb H^{n+1})$$, each full rank cusp corresponds to a cohomology class in$$H^{n}(\Gamma , V)$$, whereVis either the trivial coefficient or the adjoint representation. Moreover, by computing the intertwining operator, we show that different cusps give rise to linearly independent classes.
