Type-I permanence

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove a number of results on the survival of the type-I property under extensions of locally compact groups: (a) that given a closed normal embedding mathbbNrianglelefteqmathbbE of locally compact groups and a twisted action (alpha,au) thereof on a (post)liminal C∗-algebra A the twisted crossed product Atimesalpha,aumathbbE is again (post)liminal and (b) a number of converses to the effect that under various conditions a normal, closed, cocompact subgroup mathbbNrianglelefteqmathbbE is type-I as soon as mathbbE is. This happens for instance if mathbbN is discrete and mathbbE is Lie, or if mathbbN is finitely-generated discrete (with no further restrictions except cocompactness). Examples show that there is not much scope for dropping these conditions. In the same spirit, call a locally compact group mathbbG type-I-preserving if all semidirect products mathbbNtimesmathbbG are type-I as soon as mathbbN is, and {it linearly} type-I-preserving if the same conclusion holds for semidirect products VtimesmathbbG arising from finite-dimensional mathbbG-representations. We characterize the (linearly) type-I-preserving groups that are (1) discrete-by-compact-Lie, (2) nilpotent, or (3) solvable Lie.
