Free C + -actions on C 3 are translations

C∗-actions on C Are Linearizable

We give the outline of the proof of the linearization conjecture: every algebraic C∗-action on C3 is linear in a suitable coordinate system.

Local higher derivations on C*-algebras are higher derivations

Let $mathfrak{A}$ be a Banach algebra. We say that a sequence ${D_n}_{n=0}^infty$ of continuous operators form $mathfrak{A}$ into $mathfrak{A}$ is a textit{local higher derivation} if to each $ainmathfrak{A}$ there corresponds a continuous higher derivation ${d_{a,n}}_{n=0}^infty$ such that $D_n(a)=d_{a,n}(a)$ for each non-negative integer $n$. We show that if $mathfrak{A}$ is a $C^*$-algebra t...

Finite Group Actions on P ” ( C )

Consider the question: which finite groups operate as symmetries of the complex projective plane P’(C)? Any finite subgroup of &X,(C) acts as a group of collineations and these give the linear models. The list of such groups is relatively short [MBD] but contains, for example, a groups of rank < 2, subgroups of U(Z), and the simple groups A,, A,, an PSL(F,). It turns out that these linear group...

Proper Actions of Groupoids on C-algebras

This thesis contains some results concerning groupoid dynamical systems and crossed products. We introduce the notion of a proper groupoid dynamical system and of its generalized fixed point algebra. We show that our notion of proper groupoid dynamical system extends both the notion of proper actions of groups on topological spaces and the notion of the proper group dynamical systems introduced...
