 Title: Dual group actions on C*-algebras and their description by Hilbert extensions Author(s): Baumgärtel, HellmutLledó, Fernando Publisher: Wiley Issued date: Jun-2002 Citation: Mathematische Nachrichten, 2002, vol. 239-240, n. 1, p. 11-27 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10016/6847 ISSN: 0025-584X (Print)1522-2616 (Online) DOI: 10.1002/1522-2616(200206)239:1<11::AID-MANA11>3.0.CO;2-B Description: 17 pages, no figures.-- MSC1991 codes: 47L65, 22D25, 46L40 (primary), 81T05 (secondary).MR#: MR1905661 (2003m:46101)Zbl#: Zbl 1002.22002 Abstract: Given a C*-algebra $A$, a discrete abelian group $X$ and a homomorphism $\Theta: X\to$ Out$A$ defining the dual action group $\Gamma\subset$ aut$A$, the paper contains results on existence and characterization of Hilbert $\{A,\Gamma\}$, where the action is given by $\hat{X}$. They are stated at the (abstract) C*-level and can therefore be considered as a refinement of the extension results given for von Neumann algebras for example by Jones [Mem.Am.Math.Soc. 28 Nr 237 (1980)] or Sutherland [Publ.Res.Inst.Math.Sci. 16 (1980) 135]. A Hilbert extension exists iff there is a generalized 2-cocycle. These results generalize those in [Commun.Math.Phys. 15 (1969) 173], which are formulated in the context of superselection theory, where it is assumed that the algebra $A$ has a trivial center, i.e. $Z=C1$. In particular the well-known outer characterization'' of the second cohomology $H (X,{\cal U}(Z),\alpha_X)$ can be reformulated: there is a bijection to the set of all $A$-module isomorphy classes of Hilbert extensions. Finally, a Hilbert space representation (due to Sutherland in the von Neumann case) is mentioned. The C*-norm of the Hilbert extension is expressed in terms of the norm of this representation and it is linked to the so-called regular representation appearing in superselection theory.
