\(C^\ast\)-crossed products by \(\mathbb R\). II (Q2271470)

Summary: We propose a condition called no energy gap for a flow on a \(C^*\)-algebra, which is expressed in terms of spectral subspaces, and find an equivalent condition on the primitive ideals of the crossed product which says that any primitive ideal is monotonical increasing or decreasing under the dual flow, when the \(C^*\)-algebra is simple and the flow is outer. We also discuss some examples involving UHF flows. [For part I, see Yokohama Math. J. 30, 151--164 (1982; Zbl 0538.46048).]
