Partial actions of groups and actions of inverse semigroups

Abstract: Abstract. Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of actions as operators on a Hilbert space. In other words, G and S(G) have the same representation theory.We show that S(G) governs the subsemigroup of all closed linear subspaces of a G-graded C * -algebra, generated by the grading subspaces. In the special case of … Show more

“…The proofs of Theorem 5.4 and Corollary 5.7 still work for non-saturated Fell bundles (even over inverse semigroups). Alternatively, we may replace our nonsaturated Fell bundle over G by a saturated Fell bundle over an inverse semigroup associated to G, just as for partial actions (see [11]). This does not change the section C * -algebra, and afterwards Theorem 5.4 applies literally.…”

“…As it is was mentioned in many occasions, the formal concept of a partial action (in the sense we are using it) appeared in the theory C * -algebras (see [146,149,151,232]), permitting one to endow relevant classes of C * -algebras with a general structure of a partial crossed product [147,148,150,160,264] (see also [155]), and promptly stimulating further use and discussions in the area [1,3,4,150,152,157,158,264,[271][272][273]. Subsequent C * -algebraic and topological developments on partial actions were made in [5,6,11,60,93,112,141,159,163,222,233].…”

“…The first answer was given by Exel [151,Proposition 4.1] relating it to the important concept of a partial representation: a map α : G → I(X ) gives a partial action if and only if for all g, h ∈ G we have…”
