CONTINUOUS AND DISCRETE FLOWS ON OPERATOR ALGEBRAS

Abstract: Let

(N, R, h e t a)

be a centrally ergodic W* dynamical system. When

N

is not a factor, we show that, for each

t o t = 0

, the crossed product induced by the time

t

automorphism

h e t a_{t}

is not a factor if and only if there exist a rational number

r

and an eigenvalue

s

of the restriction of

h e t a

to the center of

N

, such that

r s t = 2 p i

. In the C* setting, minimality seems to be the notion corresponding to central ergodicity. We show that if

(A, R, a l p h a)

is a minimal unital C* dynamical system and

A

is either prime or commutative but not simple, then, for each

t o t = 0

, the crossed product induced by the time

t

automorphism

a l p h a_{t}

is not simple if and only if there exist a rational number

r

and an eigenvalue

s

of the restriction of

a l p h a

to the center of

A

, such that

r s t = 2 p i

.
