Rigidity theory for C^-dynamical systems and the ``Pedersen rigidity problem

Abstract: Let

G

be a locally compact abelian group. By modifying a theorem of Pedersen, it follows that actions of

G

on

C^{*}

-algebras

A

and

B

are outer conjugate if and only if there is an isomorphism of the crossed products that is equivariant for the dual actions and preserves the images of

A

and

B

in the multiplier algebras of the crossed products. The rigidity problem discussed in this paper deals with the necessity of the last condition concerning the images of

A

and

B

. There is an alternative formulation of the problem: an action of the dual group

h a t G

together with a suitably equivariant unitary homomorphism of

G

give rise to a generalized fixed-point algebra via Landstad's theorem, and a problem related to the above is to produce an action of

h a t G

and two such equivariant unitary homomorphisms of

G

that give distinct generalized fixed-point algebras. We present several situations where the condition on the images of

A

and

B

is redundant, and where having distinct generalized fixed-point algebras is impossible. For example, if

G

is discrete, this will be the case for all actions of

G

.
