Let δ be a coaction of a locally compact group G on a C*-algebra A. We show that if I is a δ-invariant ideal in A, then 0! I¬δ I G!A¬δ G! (A}I )¬δI G! 0 for full crossed products, as Landstad et al. have done for spatial crossed products by coactions. We prove that for suitable coactions, the crossed products of C ! (X )-algebras are again C ! (X )-algebras, and the crossed products of continuo...

We introduce the notion of a crossed product of an algebra by a coalgebra C, which generalises the notion of a crossed product by a bialgebra well-studied in the theory of Hopf algebras. The result of such a crossed product is an algebra which is also a right C-comodule. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions for two coalgebra crossed products be equivalent. We show that the two-dimens...

Let X be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension and let h : X → X be a minimal homeomorphism. We show that the associated crossed product C*-algebra A = C∗(Z, X, h) has tracial rank zero whenever the image of K0(A) in Aff(T (A)) is dense. As a consequence, we show that these crossed product C*-algebras are in fact simple AH algebras with real rank zero. When X is connec...

In this paper we study obstructions to presentability by products for finitely generated groups. Along the way we develop both the concept of acentral subgroups, and the relations between presentability by products on the one hand, and certain geometric and measure or orbit equivalence invariants of groups on the other. This leads to many new examples of groups not presentable by products, incl...
