Abstract

In this notes unbounded regular operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules over arbitrary $C^*$-algebras are discussed. A densely defined operator $t$ possesses an adjoint operator if the graph of $t$ is an orthogonal summand. Moreover, for a densely defined operator $t$ the graph of $t$ is orthogonally complemented and the range of $P_FP_{G(t)^\bot}$ is dense in its biorthogonal complement if and only if $t$ is regular. For a given $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ any densely defined $\mathcal A$-linear closed operator $t$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules is regular, if and only if any densely defined $\mathcal A$-linear closed operator $t$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules admits a densely defined adjoint operator, if and only if $\mathcal A$ is a $C^*$-algebra of compact operators. Some further characterizations of closed and regular modular operators are obtained. Changes 1: Improved results, corrected misprints, added references. Accepted by J. Operator Theory, August 2007 / Changes 2: Filled gap in the proof of Thm. 3.1, changes in the formulations of Cor. 3.2 and Thm. 3.4, updated references and address of the second author.

Simplicity of reduced crossed products

We characterize the simplicity of reduced crossed product C*-algebras in terms of stabilizer subgroups. Specifically, we prove that if $G$ is a countable group and $X$ is a minimal $G$-flow, then the reduced crossed product C*-algebra $\mathrm{C}(X) \times_λG$ is simple if and only if there is a point in $X$ with a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. Further, these conditions are equivalent to a generic point in $X$ having a C*-simple stabilizer subgroup. We also provide an example demonstrating that this result does not extend to uncountable groups. This completely resolves a question of Ozawa.

$\mathrm{C}^*$-selflessness of vigorous groups

We prove that countable groups which admit a faithful piecewise minimal-extremely-proximal action on the Cantor set are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. In particular, topological full groups of second countable, Hausdorff, minimal, purely infinite, topologically principal, ample groupoids with compact unit spaces are $\mathrm{C}^*$-selfless. Examples include the Higman--Thompson groups and the Brin--Thompson groups.

A computable wandering and tracelike vector for modular orbits in the Bergman space

We construct a function $Φ$ such that the orbit under the representation of PSL(2,Z) is an orthonormal basis for the Bergman space with weight $α=12$. Moreover, we show that $Φ$ is effectively computable as a holomorphic function on the upper half-plane (in the precise sense of computable analysis), by providing an effective procedure. This constructs a wandering and tracelike vector for PSL(2,Z), whose abstract existence was proved by Sir Vaughan Jones in his last paper, where the corresponding construction was left as a problem. The function is built using an orthonormalization and modularization method, and it displays modular reminiscencies, despite not being modular itself. provides a computable implementing vector for the abstract anti-isomorphism between the von Neumann algebra $M_{12}(Γ)$ and its commutant, which is generated, in Rădulescu's sense, by cusp-form Toeplitz operators, while Voiculescu's results provide a random matrix model for $M_{12}(Γ)$.
