Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

We show that a normal coaction of a discrete group on an operator algebra extends to a normal coaction on the C*-envelope. This resolves an open problem attempted by several experts in the area, and provides a more direct proof of a prominent result of Sehnem. As an application, we resolve a question of X. Li, where we identify the C*-envelopes of the operator algebras of groupoid-embeddable categories and of cancellative right LCM monoids. This latter class includes many examples of monoids that are not group-embeddable.
