Nuclearity of Semigroup C*-algebras and the Connection to Amenability
نویسنده
چکیده
We study C*-algebras associated with subsemigroups of groups. For a large class of such semigroups including positive cones in quasi-lattice ordered groups and left Ore semigroups, we describe the corresponding semigroup C*algebras as C*-algebras of inverse semigroups, groupoid C*-algebras and full corners in associated group crossed products. These descriptions allow us to characterize nuclearity of semigroup C*-algebras in terms of faithfulness of left regular representations and amenability of group actions. Moreover, we also determine when boundary quotients of semigroup C*-algebras are UCT Kirchberg algebras. This leads to a unified approach to Cuntz algebras and ring C*-algebras.

CHARACTERIZATIONS OF EXTREMELY AMENABLE FUNCTION ALGEBRAS ON A SEMIGROUP
Let S be a semigroup. In certain cases we give some characterizations of extreme amenability of S and we show that in these cases extreme left amenability and extreme right amenability of S are equivalent. Also when S is a compact topological semigroup, we characterize extremely left amenable subalgebras of C(S), where C(S) is the space of all continuous bounded real valued functions on S
متن کامل2n-Weak module amenability of semigroup algebras
Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with the set of idempotents $E$. We prove that the semigroup algebra $ell^{1}(S)$ is always $2n$-weakly module amenable as an $ell^{1}(E)$-module, for any $nin mathbb{N}$, where $E$ acts on $S$ trivially from the left and by multiplication from the right. Our proof is based on a common fixed point property for semigroups.
متن کامل$varphi$-CONNES MODULE AMENABILITY OF DUAL BANACH ALGEBRAS
In this paper we define $varphi$-Connes module amenability of a dual Banach algebra $mathcal{A}$ where $varphi$ is a bounded $w_{k^*}$-module homomorphism from $mathcal{A}$ to $mathcal{A}$. We are mainly concerned with the study of $varphi$-module normal virtual diagonals. We show that if $S$ is a weakly cancellative inverse semigroup with subsemigroup $E$ of idemp...
متن کامل$sigma$-Connes Amenability and Pseudo-(Connes) Amenability of Beurling Algebras
In this paper, pseudo-amenability and pseudo-Connes amenability of weighted semigroup algebra $ell^1(S,omega)$ are studied. It is proved that pseudo-Connes amenability and pseudo-amenability of weighted group algebra $ell^1(G,omega)$ are the same. Examples are given to show that the class of $sigma$-Connes amenable dual Banach algebras is larger than that of Connes amenable dual Banach algebras.
