Some remarks on C*-algebras associated with certain topologicalMarkov chains.
To any bounded analytic semigroup on Hilbert space or on -space, one may associate natural ’square functions’. In this survey paper, we review old and recent results on these square functions, as well as some extensions to various classes of Banach spaces, including noncommutative -spaces, Banach lattices, and their subspaces. We give some applications to functional calculus, similarity problems, multiplier theory, and control theory.
We show that two continuous inverse limit actions α and β of a locally compact group G on two pro-C *-algebras A and B are stably outer conjugate if and only if there is a full Hilbert A-module E and a continuous action u of G on E such that E and E *(the dual module of E) are countably generated in M(E)(the multiplier module of E), respectively M(E *) and the pair (E, u) implements a strong Morita equivalence between α and β. This is a generalization of a result of F. Combes [Proc. London Math....
Let (G,X) be a transformation group, where X is a locally compact Hausdorff space and G is a compact group. We investigate the stable rank and the real rank of the transformation group C*-algebra C₀(X)⋊ G. Explicit formulae are given in the case where X and G are second countable and X is locally of finite G-orbit type. As a consequence, we calculate the ranks of the group C*-algebra C*(ℝⁿ ⋊ G), where G is a connected closed subgroup of SO(n) acting on ℝⁿ by rotation.
