QWEP stability under twisted crossed products
Abstract
We study the QWEP property of twisted crossed products and its relation to Fourier multiplier transference on noncommutative Lp-spaces. We show that QWEP is not preserved by crossed products of QWEP von Neumann algebras by hyperlinear groups. Our examples include trace-preserving actions of a torsion-free residually finite Kazhdan group on a diffuse abelian algebra and on the hyperfinite type II1 factor. We also obtain non-QWEP crossed products with nontrivial scalar cocycles. For scalar twists, we prove that a finite trace-preserving crossed product is QWEP if and only if its ordinary crossed product and its twisted group von Neumann algebra are QWEP. In the positive direction, we establish a restriction theorem for scalar twists of regular wreath products. These results provide QWEP inputs for Fourier multiplier transference and identify a completely bounded multiplier norm obstruction to QWEP. Finally, operator-valued cocycles give finite QWEP crossed products whose acting groups are not hyperlinear.
