A topological correspondence between partial actions of groups and inverse semigroup actions

Abstract We present some generalizations of the well-known correspondence, found by Exel, between partial actions of a group G on a set X and semigroup homomorphism of 𝒮 ⁡ ( G ) {\operatorname{\mathcal{S}}(G)} on the semigroup I ⁢ ( X ) {I(X)} of partial bijections of X, with 𝒮 ⁡ ( G ) {\operatorname{\mathcal{S}}(G)} being an inverse monoid introduced by Exel. We show that any unital premorphism θ : G → S {\theta:G\to S} , where S is an inverse monoid, can be extended to a semigroup homomorphism θ * : T → S {\theta^{*}:T\to S} for any inverse semigroup T with 𝒮 ⁡ ( G ) ⊆ T ⊆ P * ⁢ ( G ) × G {\operatorname{\mathcal{S}}(G)\subseteq T\subseteq P^{*}(G)\times G} , with P * ⁢ ( G ) {P^{*}(G)} being the semigroup of non-empty subsets of G, and such that E ⁢ ( S ) {E(S)} satisfies some lattice-theoretical condition. We also consider a topological version of this result. We present a minimal Hausdorff inverse semigroup topology on Γ ⁢ ( X ) {\Gamma(X)} , the inverse semigroup of partial homeomorphisms between open subsets of a locally compact Hausdorff space X.

Essential crossed products for inverse semigroup actions: simplicity and pure infiniteness

Essential crossed products for inverse semigroup actions: simplicity and pure infiniteness

Noncommutative Cartan \(\mathrm {C}^*\)-subalgebras

We characterise Exel's noncommutative Cartan subalgebras in several ways using uniqueness of conditional expectations, relative commutants, or purely outer inverse semigroup actions. We describe in which sense the crossed product decomposition for a noncommutative Cartan subalgebra is unique. We relate the property of being a noncommutative Cartan subalgebra to aperiodic inclusions and effectivity of dual groupoids. In particular, we extend Renault's characterisation of commutative Cartan subalgebras.

Isomorphism Theorems for Groupoids and Some Applications

Using an algebraic point of view we present an introduction to the groupoid theory; that is, we give fundamental properties of groupoids as uniqueness of inverses and properties of the identities and study subgroupoids, wide subgroupoids, and normal subgroupoids. We also present the isomorphism theorems for groupoids and their applications and obtain the corresponding version of the Zassenhaus Lemma and the Jordan-Hölder theorem for groupoids. Finally, inspired by the Ehresmann-Schein-Nambooripad theorem we improve a result of R. Exel concerning a one-to-one correspondence between partial actions of groups and actions of inverse semigroups.

Continuous Orbit Equivalence on Self-Similar Graph Actions

For self-similar graph actions, we show that isomorphic inverse semigroups associated to a self-similar graph action are a complete invariant for the continuous orbit equivalence of inverse semigroup actions on infinite path spaces.

The dynamics of partial inverse semigroup actions

Given an inverse semigroup S endowed with a partial action on a topological space X, we construct a groupoid of germs S⋉X in a manner similar to Exel's groupoid of germs, and similarly a partial action of S on an algebra A induces a crossed product A⋊S. We then prove, in the setting of partial actions, that if X is locally compact Hausdorff and zero-dimensional, then the Steinberg algebra of the groupoid of germs S⋉X is isomorphic to the crossed product AR(X)⋊S, where AR(X) is the Steinberg algebra of X. We also prove that the converse holds, that is, that under natural hypotheses, crossed products of the form AR(X)⋊S are Steinberg algebras of appropriate groupoids of germs of the form S⋉X. We introduce a new notion of topologically principal partial actions, which correspond to topologically principal groupoids of germs, and study orbit equivalence for these actions in terms of isomorphisms of the corresponding groupoids of germs. This generalizes previous work of the second-named author as well as from others, which dealt mostly with global actions of semigroups or partial actions of groups. We finish the article by comparing our notion of orbit equivalence of actions and orbit equivalence of graphs.

Simplicity of skew inverse semigroup rings with applications to Steinberg algebras and topological dynamics

Abstract Given a partial action π of an inverse semigroup S on a ring 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} , one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring 𝒜 ⋊ π S {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} . Our main result asserts that, when 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} is commutative, the ring 𝒜 ⋊ π S {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} is simple if, and only if, 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} is a maximal commutative subring of 𝒜 ⋊ π S {\mathcal{A}\rtimes_{\pi}S} and 𝒜 {\mathcal{A}} is S-simple. We apply this result in the context of topological inverse semigroup actions to connect simplicity of the associated skew inverse semigroup ring with topological properties of the action. Furthermore, we use our result to present a new proof of the simplicity criterion for a Steinberg algebra A R ⁢ ( 𝒢 ) {A_{R}(\mathcal{G})} associated with a Hausdorff and ample groupoid 𝒢 {\mathcal{G}} .

Algebraic Crossed Products by Partial Actions of Inverse Semigroups

In this work, for an inverse semigroup \(G\) and a partial action \(\pi\) on an algebra \({\text{A}},\) we define the crossed product \(A \times_{\pi }^{a} G\) as an enveloping \(C^{*}\)-algebra of a suitable \(*\)-algebra. At the end, we prove that the definition of crossed product we have presented here is equivalent to the one introduced in Tabatabaie Shourijeh and Moayeri Rahni (Crossed products by partial actions of inverse semigroups, 2015b).

Inverse semigroup actions on groupoids

We define inverse semigroup actions on topological groupoids by partial equivalences. From such actions, we construct saturated Fell bundles over inverse semigroups and non-Hausdorff \'etale groupoids. We interpret these as actions on $C^*$\nobreakdash -algebras by Hilbert bimodules and describe the section algebras of these Fell bundles. Our constructions give saturated Fell bundles over non-Hausdorff \'etale groupoids that model actions on locally Hausdorff spaces. We show that these Fell bundles are usually not Morita equivalent to an action by automorphisms, that is, the Packer-Raeburn stabilization trick does not generalize to non-Hausdorff groupoids.

Group-Graded Systems and Algebras

In the paper, we discuss some problems concerning the structural properties of crossed products. While expansions of C*-algebras under group actions have been studied rather extensively, known difficulties in the transition to irreversible dynamical systems require the development of new methods. The first step in this direction is to study actions of inverse semigroups, whose properties are closest to those of groups. The main tool to achieve the goal is the concept of grading. The detection of the grading structure in the corresponding constructions seems to be very promising.

Amenable actions of inverse semigroups

We say that an action of a countable discrete inverse semigroup on a locally compact Hausdorff space is amenable if its groupoid of germs is amenable in the sense of Anantharaman-Delaroche and Renault. We then show that for a given inverse semigroup ${\mathcal{S}}$, the action of ${\mathcal{S}}$ on its spectrum is amenable if and only if every action of ${\mathcal{S}}$ is amenable.

The structure of generalized inverse semigroups

We prove that the structure of right generalized inverse semigroups is determined by free etale actions of inverse semigroups. This leads to a tensor product interpretation of Yamada’s classical structure theorem for generalized inverse semigroups.

Inverse semigroup actions as groupoid actions

To an inverse semigroup, we associate an \'etale groupoid such that its actions on topological spaces are equivalent to actions of the inverse semigroup. Both the object and the arrow space of this groupoid are non-Hausdorff. We show that this construction provides an adjoint functor to the functor that maps a groupoid to its inverse semigroup of bisections, where we turn \'etale groupoids into a category using algebraic morphisms. We also discuss how to recover a groupoid from this inverse semigroup.

ACTION OF THE INVERSE SEMIGROUP OF SLICES

The main goal of this paper is to present an example of inverse semigroup actions which is intrinsic to every etale groupoid. We therefore fix an etale groupoid G from now on which is denoted by S(G) the set of all slices in G.

Twisted actions and regular Fell bundles over inverse semigroups

We introduce a new notion of twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that they correspond bijectively to certain regular Fell bundles over inverse semigroups, yielding in this way a structure classification of such bundles. These include as special cases all the stable Fell bundles. Our definition of twisted actions properly generalizes a previous one introduced by Sieben and corresponds to Busby-Smith twisted actions in the group case. As an application we describe twisted etale groupoid C*-algebras in terms of crossed products by twisted actions of inverse semigroups and show that Sieben's twisted actions essentially correspond to twisted etale groupoids with topologically trivial twists.

Actions of inverse semigroups arising from partial actions of groups

In this work we present a definition of crossed product for actions of inverse semigroups on C ∗ -algebras, without resorting to covariant representations as done by Sieben in related work. We also show the existence of an isomorphism between the crossed product by a partial action of a group G and the crossed product by a related action of S ( G ) , an inverse semigroup associated to G introduced by the first named author.

PARTIAL ACTIONS OF INVERSE AND WEAKLY LEFT E-AMPLE SEMIGROUPS

AbstractWe introduce partial actions of weakly left E-ample semigroups, thus extending both the notion of partial actions of inverse semigroups and that of partial actions of monoids. Weakly left E-ample semigroups arise very naturally as subsemigroups of partial transformation semigroups which are closed under the unary operation α↦α+, where α+ is the identity map on the domain of α. We investigate the construction of ‘actions’ from such partial actions, making a connection with the FA-morphisms of Gomes. We observe that if the methods introduced in the monoid case by Megrelishvili and Schröder, and by the second author, are to be extended appropriately to the case of weakly left E-ample semigroups, then we must construct not global actions, but so-called incomplete actions. In particular, we show that a partial action of a weakly left E-ample semigroup is the restriction of an incomplete action. We specialize our approach to obtain corresponding results for inverse semigroups.

Actions of Inverse Semigroups on Algebras

In this article we prove that if S is a faithfully projective R-algebra and H is a finite inverse semigroup acting on S as R-linear maps such that the fixed subring S H = R, then any partial isomorphism between ideals of S which are generated by central idempotents can be obtained as restriction of an R-automorphism of S and there exists a finite subgroup of automorphisms G of S with S G = R.

Expansions of inverse semigroups

AbstractWe construct the freest idempotent-pure expansion of an inverse semigroup, generalizing an expansion of Margolis and Meakin for the group case. We also generalize the Birget-Rhodes prefix expansion to inverse semigroups with an application to partial actions of inverse semigroups. In the process of generalizing the latter expansion, we are led to a new class of idempotent-pure homomorphisms which we termF-morphisms. These play the same role in the theory of idempotent-pure homomorphisms thatF-inverse monoids play in the theory ofE-unitary inverse semigroups.

Morita Equivalence of $C^*$-Crossed Products by Inverse Semigroup Actions and Partial Actions
