abstract

  • Let M be a von Neumann algebra that has a F{\o}lner net. In the present article we give conditions that guarantee that the von Neumann crossed product of M with an amenable discrete group has a F{\o}lner net. The F{\o}lner net for the crossed product is given explicitly and the result is applied to the rotation algebra.
