Simplicity of skew inverse semigroup rings with applications to Steinberg algebras and topological dynamics

Abstract: Given a partial action π of an inverse semigroup S on a ring A one may construct its associated skew inverse semigroup ring A ⋊π S. Our main result asserts that, when A is commutative, the ring A ⋊π S is simple if, and only if, A is a maximal commutative subring of A ⋊π S and A is S-simple. We apply this result in the context of topological inverse semigroup actions to connect simplicity of the associated skew inverse semigroup ring with topological properties of the action. Furthermore, we use our result to p… Show more

“…We will now define a notion of inverses semigroup crossed product that captures twisted Steinberg algebras. Even without a twist, our definition will look different than the definition of a skew inverse semigroup ring found in the literature [6,7], but it coincides with that definition for the case of so-called spectral actions [24], which is what arises in the ample groupoid setting. 4.1.…”

“…i.e., N is the ideal of L generated by all elements of the form aδ r − aδ s , where r ≤ s and a ∈ D r . It is shown in [7,Lemma 2.3] that these elements already generate N as an additive group.…”

“…Skew inverse semigroup rings are also useful tools in the study of algebras arising from combinatorial objects, see, for example, [19,20,25]. Furthermore, both skew inverse semigroup rings and Steinberg algebras have deep connections with topological dynamics and C * -algebra theory, see, for example, [8,10,11,5,7,18].…”

“…As to more general skew structures, in [190] the Leavitt path algebras were characterized as partial skew groupoid rings, which was applied to study a class of groupoid graded isomorphisms between Leavitt path algebras. In [54] the simplicity of the skew group ring by a partial action of an inverse semigroup on a commutative ring was characterized and used to offer a new proof for the simplicity criterion for a Steinberg algebra associated with a Hausdorff and ample groupoid. Furthermore, in [82] the semiprimitivity and the semiprimality properties for partial smash products were considered, as well as their prime and Jacobson radicals.…”
