Imprimitivity for C∗C^*-Coactions of Non-Amenable Groups

We give a condition on a full coaction $(A,G,\delta)$ of a (possibly) nonamenable group $G$ and a closed normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ which ensures that Mansfield imprimitivity works; i.e. that $A\times_{\delta{\vert}} G/N$ is Morita equivalent to A\times_\delta G\times_{\deltahat,r} N. This condition obtains if $N$ is amenable or $\delta$ is normal. It is preserved under Morita equivalence, inflation of coactions, the stabilization trick of Echterhoff and Raeburn, and on passing to twisted coactions.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX 2e, requires amscd.sty and pb-diagram.sty.

The (m,n)(m,n)-rational q,tq, t-Catalan polynomials for m=3m=3 and their q,tq,t-symmetry

We introduce a new statistic, skip, on rational $(3,n)$-Dyck paths and define a marked rank word for each path when $n$ is not a multiple of 3. If a triple of valid statistics (area,skip,dinv) are given, we have an algorithm to construct the marked rank word corresponding to the triple. By considering all valid triples we give an explicit formula for the $(m,n)$-rational $q,t$-Catalan polynomials when $m=3$. Then there is a natural bijection on the triples of statistics (area,skips,dinv) which exchanges the statistics area and dinv while fixing the skip. Thus we prove the $q,t$-symmetry of $(m,n)$-rational $q, t$-Catalan polynomials for $m=3$.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

Obstructions to a general characterization of graph correspondences

For a countable discrete space V, every nondegenerate separable C*-correspondence over c_0(V) is isomorphic to one coming from a directed graph with vertex set V. In this paper we demonstrate why the analogous characterizations fail to hold for higher-rank graphs (where one considers product systems of C*-correspondences) and for topological graphs (where V is locally compact Hausdorff), and we discuss the obstructions that arise.Comment: major revision; stated some results in greater generalit
