Let Γ be a discrete group and A, an unital Γ-C ∗ -algebra. We can associate with it
a C ∗ -algebraic object A ⋊r Γ called the reduced crossed product. Similarly, for a Γvon Neumann algebra M, we can associate a von Neumann algebraic crossed product
denoted by M ⋊ Γ. When $A =C,$ this construction gives us the group C ∗ -algebra
Cr∗ (Γ). Similarly, when $M = C$, we obtain the group von Neumann algebra L(Γ). We
are interested in giving a complete description of the Γ-invariant sub-algebras of A⋊r Γ
or that of M ⋊ Γ. In this talk, I shall discuss recent progress in this direction. We will focus on two
particular instances. Firstly, on intermediate algebras B of the form Cr∗ (Γ) ⊂ B ⊂
A ⋊r Γ or N of the form L(Γ) ⊂ N ⊂ M ⋊ Γ. Secondly, on invariant sub-algebras
N ≤ L(Γ). These are two particular cases of invariant sub-algebras.
This talk is based on four recent joint works: [AJ23] (with Yongle Jiang), [AH24]
(with Yair Hartman), and [AGG24b, AGG24a] (with Eli Glasner and Yair Glasner).
