Magnus Landstad, Exotic group C*-algebras and noncommutative duality.

Magnus Landstad (NTNU) will give a talk with title: Exotic group C*-algebras and noncommutative duality.

Abstract: It  has long been known that for a (non-amenable) locally compact group G there are many C*-algebras between the full and reduced group C*-algebra. First I will discuss to what extent these intermediate algebras can be called group C*-algebras. Then I will look at algebras between the full and reduced crossed product, and the various types of coactions (full, maximal, normal) a group can have. To make arguments a little simpler, we shall assume G to be discrete.
