On the Banach *-algebra crossed product associated with a topological dynamical system

de Jeu, Marcel ; Svensson, Christian LU and Tomiyama, Jun (2012) In Journal of Functional Analysis 262(11). p.4746-4765
Abstract
Given a topological dynamical system Sigma = (X, sigma), where X is a compact Hausdorff space and a a homeomorphism of X, we introduce the Banach *-algebra crossed product l(1) (E) most naturally associated with Sigma and initiate its study. It has a richer structure than its well investigated C*-envelope, as becomes evident from the possible existence of non-self-adjoint closed ideals. We link its ideal structure to the dynamics, determining when the algebra is simple, or prime, and when there exists a non-self-adjoint closed ideal. A structure theorem is obtained when X consists of one finite orbit, and the algebra is shown to be Hermitian if X is finite. The key lies in analysing the commutant of C(X) in the algebra, which is shown to... (More)
