Skew category algebras associated with partially defined dynamical systems

Lundström, Patrik and Öinert, Johan LU (2012) In International Journal of Mathematics 23(4). p.1-1250040
Abstract
We introduce partially defined dynamical systems defined on a topological space. To each such system we associate a functor s from a category G to Topop and show that it defines what we call a skew category algebra A ⋊ G. We study the connection between topological freeness of s and, on the one hand, ideal properties of A ⋊ G and, on the other hand, maximal commutativity of A in A ⋊ G. In particular, we show that if G is a groupoid and for each e ∈ ob(G) the group of all morphisms e → e is countable and the topological space s(e) is Tychonoff and Baire. Then the following assertions are equivalent: (i) s is topologically free; (ii) A has the ideal intersection property, i.e. if I is a nonzero ideal of A ⋊ G, then I ∩ A ≠ {0}; (iii) the... (More)

Thereby, we generalize a result by Svensson, Silvestrov and de Jeu from the additive group of integers to a large class of groupoids. (Less)
