The Dynamical Radius of Comparison for C*-Dynamical Systems
Abstract
We introduce a dynamical version rc (A, α) of the radius of comparison rc (A) of a unital C*-algebra, based on the dynamical Cuntz semigroup. We also give an intrinsic ordered semigroup definition, which agrees with rc (A, α) when A is residually stably finite, and is lower semicontinuous for equivariant direct limits with injective unital maps. We construct actions α of G = ℤ / 2 ℤ on simple unital AH~algebras for which rc (A, α) lies strictly between rc (A) and rc (A) / card (G), and actions α of a finite group G on unital C*-algebras for which rc (A, α) lies strictly between rc (A) and rc (C* (G, A, α)). For a minimal action of a countable discrete group G on a zero dimensional compact metrizable space X, we prove that rc (C (X), α) = 0 if and only if the action has dynamical comparison as defined by Kerr. For finite group actions on simple unital stably finite C*-algebras, assuming the weak tracial Rokhlin property, we get rc (A, α) ≤ rc (A) / card (G), and assuming weak tracial strict approximate innerness, we get rc (A, α) = rc (A).
