Crossed products and C*-covers of semi-Dirichlet operator algebras

TL;DR
The paper develops the theory of semi-Dirichlet operator algebras by studying their C$^*$-covers and crossed products. It proves that semi-Dirichlet C$^*$-covers form a complete lattice with a maximal element $C^*_{sD-max}(\mathcal{A})$, and that the full crossed product of a semi-Dirichlet dynamical system is isomorphic to the relative full crossed product with respect to this maximal cover. It also shows that every semi-Dirichlet dynamical system has a semi-Dirichlet full crossed product and that the crossed product remains semi-Dirichlet, with Takai duality clarifying the abelian case. The results unify dilation theory, representation theory, and crossed-product constructions for semi-Dirichlet algebras, connecting to tensor-algebra realizations and Shilov representations.
Abstract
In this paper, we show that the semi-Dirichlet C*-covers of a semi-Dirichlet operator algebra form a complete lattice, establishing that there is a maximal semi-Dirichlet C*-cover. Given an operator algebra dynamical system we prove a dilation theory that shows that the full crossed product is isomorphic to the relative full crossed product with respect to this maximal semi-Dirichlet cover. In this way, we can show that every semi-Dirichlet dynamical system has a semi-Dirichlet full crossed product.
