Abstract:
We describe the lattice of the ideals generated by projections and prove a characterization of the ideal property for ``large" classes of crossed products of commutative -algebras by discrete, amenable groups; some applications are also given. We prove that the crossed product of a -algebra with the ideal property by a group with the ideal property may fail to have the ideal property; this answers a question of Shuzhou Wang.
