Abstract: Suppose that a locally compact group G acts freely and properly on the right of a locally compact space T. Rieffel proved that if alpha is an action of G on a C-algebra A and there is an equivariant embedding of C0(T) in M(A), then the action alpha of G on A is proper, and the crossed product Atimesalpha,rG is Morita equivalent to a generalised fixed-point algebra Fix(A,alpha) in M(A)alpha. We show that the assignment (A,alpha)mapstoFix(A,alpha) extends to a functor Fix on a category of C-dynamical systems in which the isomorphisms are Morita equivalences, and that Rieffel's Morita equivalence implements a natural isomorphism between a crossed-product functor and Fix. From this, we deduce naturality of Mansfield imprimitivity for crossed products by coactions, improving results of Echterhoff-Kaliszewski-Quigg-Raeburn and Kaliszewski-Quigg Raeburn, and naturality of a Morita equivalence for graph algebras due to Kumjian and Pask.
