John Quigg (ASU): Duality theory for C*-crossed products, part I

 

This lecture is the first of a mini-course consisting of five lectures given by Professor John Quigg (Arizona State University, Tempe, USA), one of the world leading experts on the topic of C*-dynamical systems.

This course is a part of the project "Pure Mathematics in Norway, 2018-2022", supported by the Trond Mohn Foundation (earlier called the Bergen Research Foundation) and the Tromsø Research Foundation.

The next lectures will be given on June 7, June 11, June 13 and June 14 from 10.15 to 12.00 in the same room. 

Abstract of the course:

The aim of the mini-course is to give an introduction to actions and coactions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras and their associated C*-crossed products, with emphasis on duality aspects (including the duality theorems of Takesaki-Takai, Imai-Takai, Katayama, and Landstad). It will also include a brief outline of how this theory is being applied to shed light on recent attempts to «fix» the Baum-Connes conjecture, using «exotic» crossed products.

 

The target group is master- and PhD-students in Norway with a basic knowledge of the fundamental aspects of C*-algebras, but anyone interested in the topic of the lectures is welcome to participate. No pre-registration is necessary, and no financial support is available from the organizers. 

Here are the notes for the course.
