Projective representations on operator algebras

We establish new restrictions for the values of the 2 cohomology lifting obstruction for projective unitary representations of second countable, locally compact Hausdorff groups on operator algebras. Using these, we show that every projective representation on the Jiang--Su algebra lifts to a genuine group representation. We also characterise the possible values of lifting obstructions for finite group projective representations on UHF-algebras of infinite type and Cuntz algebras. Finally, we show that certain 2-cocycles of Property (T) groups cannot arise as lifting invariants of projective representations on the hyperfinite II$_{1}$ factor.

Classification of anomalous actions of finite groups with the Rokhlin property

Given a finite group G, we develop a generalization of the fundamental classification of Rokhlin G-actions on C*-algebras to the setting of anomalous G-actions with the Rokhlin property. For Rokhlin G-kernels on C*-algebras covered by the classification program, this implies that the induced G-action on some known invariants determines the conjugacy class. Extending a result of Izumi, we show that G-kernels with the Rokhlin property on Kirchberg algebras are classified by their anomaly and the induced module structure on the K-theory groups. We explore K-theoretic obstructions for the existence of Rokhlin G-kernels on general separable C*-algebras and use these to characterise which G-module structures arise as K-groups of Kirchberg algebras admitting a Rokhlin G-kernel with a given lifting obstruction.

An Elliott intertwining approach to classifying actions of C$^*$-tensor categories

We introduce a categorical approach to classifying actions of C$^*$-tensor categories $\mathcal{C}$ on C$^*$-algebras up to cocycle conjugacy. We show that, in this category, inductive limits exist and there is a natural notion of approximate unitary equivalence. Then, we generalise classical Elliott intertwining results to the $\mathcal{C}$-equivariant case, in the same fashion as done by Szabó for the group equivariant case in [39].

The stable uniqueness theorem for unitary tensor category equivariant KK-theory

We introduce the Cuntz-Thomsen picture of $\mathcal{C}$-equivariant Kasparov theory, denoted $\mathrm{KK}^\mathcal{C}$, for a unitary tensor category $\mathcal{C}$ with countably many isomorphism classes of simple objects. We use this description of $\mathrm{KK}^\mathcal{C}$ to prove the stable uniqueness theorem in this setting.

G-kernels and Crossed Modules

We develop a unified framework based on topological crossed modules for various lifting obstructions for $Γ$-kernels. It allows us to identify actions, cocycle actions and $Γ$-kernels up to their natural equivalence relations with cohomology sets. The obstructions then appear as boundary maps in corresponding exact sequences. Since topological crossed modules are topological $2$-groups (in the categorical sense), they have classifying spaces, which come with a natural transformation from the cohomology to a homotopy set. For the crossed module that gives cocycle actions we prove a weak equivalence of the classifying space of the crossed module with one from bundle theory. In case the algebra is strongly self-absorbing we show that the homotopy set is a group and that the above natural transformation is a group isomorphism on an appropriate restriction of the cohomology set.

Equivariant $\mathcal{D}$-stability for Actions of Tensor Categories

We introduce a notion of equivariant $\mathcal{D}$-stability for actions of unitary tensor categories on C$^*$-algebras. We show that, when $\mathcal{D}$ is strongly self-absorbing, equivariant $\mathcal{D}$-stability of an action is equivalent to a unital embedding of $\mathcal{D}$ into a certain subalgebra of Kirchberg's central sequence algebra. We use this to show $\mathcal{Z}$-stability for a large class of AF-actions.

A classification of anomalous actions through model action absorption

We discuss a strategy for classifying anomalous actions through model action absorption. We use this to upgrade existing classification results for Rokhlin actions of finite groups on C$^*$-algebras, with further assuming a UHF-absorption condition, to a classification of anomalous actions on these C$^*$-algebras.

Anomalous symmetries of classifiable C*-algebras

We study the $H^3$ invariant of a group homomorphism $ϕ:G \rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(A)$, where $A$ is a classifiable C$^*$-algebra. We show the existence of an obstruction to possible $H^3$ invariants arising from considering the unitary algebraic $K_1$ group. In particular, we prove that when $A$ is the Jiang--Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ this invariant must vanish. We deduce that the unitary fusion categories $\mathrm{Hilb}(G, ω)$ for non-trivial $ω\in H^3(G, \mathbb{T})$ cannot act on $\mathcal{Z}$.
