Abstract Let G be a finite group, let A be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, and let $\alpha \colon G \to {\text{Aut}} (A)$ be an action of G on A which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. Let $A^{\alpha}$ be the fixed point algebra. Then the radius of comparison satisfies ${\text{rc}} (A^{\alpha }) \leq {\text{rc}} (A)$ and ${\text{rc}} ( C^* (G, A, \alpha ) ) \leq ({1}/{\text{card} (G))} \cdot {\text{rc}} (A)$ . The inclusion of $A^{\alpha }$ in A induces an isomorphism from the purely positive part of the Cuntz semigroup ${\text{Cu}} (A^{\alpha })$ to the fixed points of the purely positive part of ${\text{Cu}} (A)$ , and the purely positive part of ${\text{Cu}} ( C^* (G, A, \alpha ) )$ is isomorphic to this semigroup. We construct an example in which $G \,{=}\, {\mathbb {Z}} / 2 {\mathbb {Z}}$ , A is a simple unital AH algebra, $\alpha $ has the Rokhlin property, ${\text{rc}} (A)> 0$ , ${\text{rc}} (A^{\alpha }) = {\text{rc}} (A)$ , and ${\text{rc}} (C^* (G, A, \alpha ) = ( {1}/{2}) {\text{rc}} (A)$ .

AbstractWe introduce the tracial Rokhlin property for a conditional expectation for an inclusion of unital C*-algebras P ⊂ A with index finite, and show that an action α from a finite group G on a simple unital C*- algebra A has the tracial Rokhlin property in the sense of N. C. Phillips if and only if the canonical conditional expectation E: A → AG has the tracial Rokhlin property. Let be a class of infinite dimensional stably finite separable unital C*-algebras that is closed under the following conditions:(1) If A ∊ and B ≅ A, then B ∊ .(2) If A ∊ and n ∊ ℕ, then Mn(A) ∊ .(3) If A ∊ and p ∊ A is a nonzero projection, then pAp ∊ .Suppose that any C*-algebra in is weakly semiprojective. We prove that if A is a local tracial -algebra in the sense of Fan and Fang and a conditional expectation E: A → P is of index-finite type with the tracial Rokhlin property, then P is a unital local tracial -algebra.The main result is that if A is simple, separable, unital nuclear, Jiang–Su absorbing and E: A → P has the tracial Rokhlin property, then P is Jiang–Su absorbing. As an application, when an action α from a finite group G on a simple unital C*-algebra A has the tracial Rokhlin property, then for any subgroup H of G the fixed point algebra AH and the crossed product algebra H is Jiang–Su absorbing. We also show that the strict comparison property for a Cuntz semigroup W(A) is hereditary to W(P) if A is simple, separable, exact, unital, and E: A → P has the tracial Rokhlin property.

It is shown that a condition of Kurzwell concerning fixed-points of certain operators on a finite group G is sufficient to ensure that G is soluble. The result generalizes those of Martineau on elementary abelian fixed-point-free operator groups.

Abstract We establish, in the setting of equivariant motivic homotopy theory for a finite group, a version of tom Dieck’s splitting theorem for the fixed points of a suspension spectrum. Along the way we establish structural results and constructions for equivariant motivic homotopy theory of independent interest. This includes geometric fixed-point functors and the motivic Adams isomorphism.

AbstractSuppose that is a connected reductive group defined over a field k, and ┌ is a finite group acting via k-automorphisms of satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the identity component of the group of -fixed points in is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair (,┌) and consider any group G satisfying the axioms. If both and G are k-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals *and G*. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from the set of semisimple stable conjugacy classes in G*(k) to the analogous set for *(k). If k is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map of semisimple conjugacy classes. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of G(k) and (k), one obtains a mapping of such packets.

In the first part of this paper, we show that an AH algebraA=lim→(Ai,ϕi)has the LP property if and only if every element of the centre ofAibelongs to the closure of the linear span of projections inA. As a consequence, a diagonal AH-algebra has the LP property if it has small eigenvalue variation in the sense of Bratteli and Elliott. The second contribution of this paper is that for an inclusion of unitalC*-algebrasP⊂Awith a finite Watatani index, if a faithful conditional expectationE:A→Phas the Rokhlin property in the sense of Kodaka et al., thenPhas the LP property under the condition thatAhas the LP property. As an application, letAbe a simple unitalC*-algebra with the LP property,αan action of a finite groupGontoAut(A). Ifαhas the Rokhlin property in the sense of Izumi, then the fixed point algebraAGand the crossed product algebraA ⋊α Ghave the LP property. We also point out that there is a symmetry on the CAR algebra such that its fixed point algebra does not have the LP property.

If a finite group action α on a unital C*-algebra M is saturated, the canonical conditional expectation E : M → Mα onto the fixed point algebra is known to be of index finite type with Index (E) = |G| in the sense of Watatani. More generally, if a finite-dimensional Hopf *-algebra A acts on M and the action is saturated, the same is true with Index (E) = dim (A). In this paper, we prove that the converse is true. Especially in case M is a commutative C*-algebra C(X) and α is a finite group action, we give an equivalent condition in order that the expectation E : C(X) → C(X)α is of index finite type, from which we obtain that α is saturated if and only if G acts freely on X. Actions by compact groups are also considered to show that the gauge action γ on a graph C*-algebra C*(E) associated with a locally finite directed graph E is saturated.

Let $G$ be a finite group with two primitive permutation representations on the sets $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$ and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ be the corresponding permutation characters. We consider the case in which the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{1}$ coincides with the set of fixed-point-free elements of $G$ on $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}_{2}$, that is, for every $g\in G$, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}(g)=0$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}(g)=0$. We have conjectured in Spiga [‘Permutation characters and fixed-point-free elements in permutation groups’, J. Algebra299(1) (2006), 1–7] that under this hypothesis either $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ or one of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{2}-\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}_{1}$ is a genuine character. In this paper we give evidence towards the veracity of this conjecture when the socle of $G$ is a sporadic simple group or an alternating group. In particular, the conjecture is reduced to the case of almost simple groups of Lie type.

AbstractLet $\Omega $ be a class of unital $C^*$-algebras. Then any simple unital $C^*$-algebra $A\in \mathrm {TA}(\mathrm {TA}\Omega )$ is a $\mathrm {TA}\Omega $ algebra. Let $A\in \mathrm {TA}\Omega $ be an infinite-dimensional $\alpha $-simple unital $C^*$-algebra with the property SP. Suppose that $\alpha :G\to \mathrm {Aut}(A)$ is an action of a finite group $G$ on $A$ which has a certain non-simple tracial Rokhlin property. Then the crossed product algebra $C^*(G,A,\alpha )$ belongs to $\mathrm {TA}\Omega $.

AbstractLet G be a metrizable compact group, A a separable C*-algebra, and α:G → Aut(A) a strongly continuous action. Provided that α satisfies the continuous Rokhlin property, we show that the property of satisfying the UCT in E-theory passes from Ato the crossed product C*-algebra A⋊α G and the ûxed point algebra Aα. This extends a similar result by Gardella for KK-theory in the case of unital C*-algebras but with a shorter and less technical proof. For circle actions on separable unital C*-algebras with the continuous Rokhlin property, we establish a connection between the Etheory equivalence class of A and that of its fixed point algebra Aα.
