SIMPLICITY OF CROSSED PRODUCTS BY TWISTED PARTIAL ACTIONS
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 April 2019
Abstract
In this article, we consider a twisted partial action $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ of a group
$G$ on an associative ring
$R$ and its associated partial crossed product
$R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G$. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the commutativity of
$R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G$ when the twisted partial action
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ is unital. Moreover, we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity of
$R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G$ in the following cases: (i)
$G$ is abelian; (ii)
$R$ is maximal commutative in
$R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G$; (iii)
$C_{R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G}(Z(R))$ is simple; (iv)
$G$ is hypercentral. When
$R=C_{0}(X)$ is the algebra of continuous functions defined on a locally compact and Hausdorff space
$X$, with complex values that vanish at infinity, and
$C_{0}(X)\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}G$ is the associated partial skew group ring of a partial action
$\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$ of a topological group
$G$ on
$C_{0}(X)$, we study the simplicity of
$C_{0}(X)\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}G$ by using topological properties of
$X$ and the results about the simplicity of
$R\ast _{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}^{w}G$.
