Central Twisted Transformation Groups And Group C*-Algebras Of Central Group Extensions, Siegfried Echterhoff, Dana P. Williams

Dartmouth Scholarship

We examine the structure of central twisted transformation group C∗-algebras C0(X) ⋊id,u G, and apply our results to the group C ∗-algebras of central group extensions. Our methods require that we study Moore’s cohomology group H2 (G, C(X,T)), and, in particular, we prove an inflation result for pointwise trivial cocyles which may be of use elsewhere.
