Abstract

Given a compact Hausdorff space X and a homeomorphism σ on X, denote by Σ=(X,σ) a topological dynamical system. Then the associated Banach ∗-algebra ℓ1(Σ) is defined as ℓ1(Σ)={a:Z→C(X), ∥a∥:=∑n∈Z∥a(n)∥<∞} with a crossed product–type product (aa′)(n)=∑k∈Za(k)⋅αk(a′(n−k)) and involution a∗(n)=αn(a(−n))¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, where C(X) denote the space of complex-valued continuous functions on X, and α(f):=f∘σ−1 for f∈C(X). If C∗(Σ) is the enveloping C∗-algebra of ℓ1(Σ), considering a primitive ideal I of ℓ1(Σ), the authors show that there exists a ∗-representation π of ℓ1(Σ) on Hilbert space such that the kernel is I, and that the closure in C∗(Σ) of an ideal of ℓ1(Σ) is an ideal of C∗(Σ).
