Intermediate subalgebras for reduced crossed products of discrete groups (2406.01546v1)

Abstract: Let $\alpha : \Gamma \curvearrowright A$ be an action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on a unital C*-algebra $A$ by -automorphisms and let $A \rtimes_{\alpha,\lambda} \Gamma$ denote the corresponding reduced crossed product C-algebra. Assuming that $\Gamma$ satisfies the approximation property, we establish a sufficient and (almost always) necessary condition on the action $\alpha$ for the existence of a Galois correspondence between intermediate C*-algebras for the inclusion $A \subseteq A \rtimes_{\alpha,\lambda} \Gamma$ and partial subactions of $\alpha$. This condition, which we refer to as pointwise residual proper outerness, is a natural noncommutative generalization of freeness.
