A Galois correspondence for reduced crossed products of unital simple C$^*$-algebras by discrete groups

Abstract: Let a discrete group $G$ act on a unital simple C$^*$-algebra $A$ by outer automorphisms. We establish a Galois correspondence $H\mapsto A\rtimes_{\alpha,r}H$ between subgroups of $G$ and C$^*$-algebras $B$ satisfying $A\subseteq B \subseteq A\rtimes_{\alpha,r}G$, where $A\rtimes_{\alpha,r}G$ denotes the reduced crossed product. For a twisted dynamical system $(A,G,\alpha,\sigma)$, we also prove the corresponding result for the reduced twisted crossed product $A\rtimes^\sigma_{\alpha,r}G$.
