Notes about math, research, and more.
There are ``averaging over the fibers maps’’ \(E\) that fit into a commutative digram
\begin{equation}
\begin{tikzcd}\label{eqn:commutative-diagram}
(\ell^\infty(G) \otimes C(X)))\rtimes_{\max} G \arrow[r]\arrow[d,"(id \otimes E_{c})\rtimes_{\max} G"] &(\ell^\infty(G) \otimes \ell^\infty(Y;X) )\rtimes_{\max} G \arrow[d,"(id \otimes E_{\ell^\infty })\rtimes_{\max} G"]\\
(\ell^\infty(G) \otimes C(Y))\rtimes_{\max} G \arrow[r] &(\ell^\infty(G) \otimes \ell^\infty(Y))\rtimes_{\max} G
\end{tikzcd}
\end{equation}

Fix a basepoint \(y_{0} \in Y\) and let \(K = E_{y_{0}}\). For each \(y
\in Y\) choose \(p_{yy_{0}} \in E(X)\) such that
\[
p_{yy_{0}}:y_{0} \mapsto y
\]
and note that \(p_{yy_{0} }:E_{y_{0}} \to E_{y}\) is a homeomorphism.
Define an action \(\kappa\) of \(K\) on \(X\) by
\[
\kappa_{k}(x) = p_{\pi(x)y_{0}}k{{p}^{-1}_{\pi(x)y_{0}}} (x).
\]
This should define a continuous action of \(K\) on \(\ell^\infty(Y;X)\).
Let \(E_{\ell^\infty}\) be the averaging map for \(K\); the induced
map \((id \otimes E_{\ell^{\infty}})\rtimes_{\max} G\) is faithful
by a twisted version of the usual argument for compact groups.

On the other hand, \(E_{C}: C(X) \to C(Y)\) is defined as the dual
ucp map to the map
\begin{align*}
Y &\to P(X) \text{(Probability measures on \(X\) )} \\
y &\mapsto \mu_{y}
\end{align*}
as in \cite[Theorem 7.20]{auslander:minimal}.
We first claim that the family \(\left \{ p|_{{\pi(y)}^{-1}} \mid p
\in E(X), y \in Y \right \}\) is equicontinuous (so in particular,
the family \(\left \{ p_{yy_{0}}|_{{\pi(y)}^{-1}} \mid p \in E(X),
y \in Y \right \}\) is). Indeed, let \(\epsilon > 0\). Then by
definition of an equicontinuous extension (Auslander, pg 95) there
is \(\delta > 0\) such that for all \(x,z \in X\) and \(g \in G\), \[
\pi(x) = \pi(z) \text{ and } d(x,z) < \delta \implies d(gx, gz) < \epsilon.
\]
This condition is preserved by taking pointwise lists of \(g\)’s (up
to replacing \(< \epsilon\) by \(\leq \epsilon\)) so holds for all \(p
\in E(X)\) too; this gives the claim.
now, let \(f \in \ell^\infty(y;x)\) and let \(k \in k\). we need to
show that if \((\kappa_{k}(f)(x) := f({k}^{-1}x)\), then
\(\kappa_{k}(f) \in \ell^\infty(y;x)\) too. \(\kappa_{k}(f)\) is
clearly bounded. The equicontinuous condition is satisfied as
\(\kappa_{k}(f)\) restricted to a given fiber \({\pi}^{-1}(y)\) is the
composition \(f \circ p_{yy_0} \circ k \circ {p_{yy_0}}^{-1}\); all
the maps in the composition are from equicontinuous families, so
\(f\) is too.
We now have that \(\kappa_{k}\) is a well-defined map
\(\ell^\infty(Y;X) \to \ell^\infty(Y;X)\); straightforward algebraic
checks show that it is a group action by \(*\)-homomorphisms as \(k\)
ranges over \(K\). We also need that \(\kappa_{k}(f)\) varies
continuously in \(k\) for each fixed \(f \in \ell^\infty(Y;X)\). This
follows very similarly to the arguments sketched above for
equicontinuity of \(\kappa_{k}(f)|_{{\pi(y)}^{-1}}\) as \(y\) varies.
We can deduce that the map \[
(id \otimes E_{\ell^\infty}) \rtimes_{\max}G: (\ell^\infty(G) \otimes\ell^\infty(Y;X))\rtimes_{\max}G \to (\ell^\infty(G)\otimes\ell^\infty(Y) \rtimes_{\max}G
\] is faithful from a general lemma as follows
\begin{lemma}
Let \(K\) be a compact group acting by \(\alpha\) (point-norm)
continuously on a \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\) and let \(G\) act on \(A\) by
\(\gamma\). Assume moreover that the conditional expectation
\[
E:A \to A, a \mapsto \int_{k}\alpha_{k}(a)dk
\]
defined by averaging over \(K\) is \(G\)-equivariant (we do {\bf not
} assume that each \(\alpha_{k}\) is \(G\)-equivariant). Then the induced map
\[
(id \otimes E)\rtimes_{\max}G: (\ell^\infty(G)\otimes A)\rtimes_{\max}^{\lambda \otimes \gamma} \to (\ell^\infty(G)\otimes A)\rtimes_{\max}^{\lambda \otimes \gamma}
\] is faithful.
\end{lemma}
Sketch proof:
Define an action \(\beta\) of \(K\) on \(\ell^\infty(G)\otimes A = \ell^\infty_{\text{rc}}(G,A)\) by \[
(\beta_{k}f)(g) = (\gamma_{g}\circ \alpha_{k}\circ\gamma_{{g}^{-1}}(f(g))
\]
This commutes with the action \(\lambda \otimes \gamma\) of \(G\)
whence are check it induces an action of \(K\) on \((\ell^\infty(G)
\otimes A ) \rtimes_{\max}G\). One checks moreover that \((id
\otimes E)\rtimes_{\max}G\) is the same as the averaging map for
this latter action of \(K\). Hence it is faithful, as averaging over
a compact group is always faithful.
The fact that the Diagram~\ref{eqn:commutative-diagram} commutes
follows as \(E_{\ell^\infty}\) is defined by averaging over \(P_{y
y_{0}}K{P_{y y_{0}}}^{-1} = E_{y}\) in each fiber, which is
exactly how \(E_{C}\) is defined.
