Abstract:

Suppose that a locally compact group $G$ acts on strongly Morita equivalent ${C^ * }$-algebras $A$ and $B$ and let $A \rtimes G$ and $B \rtimes G$ denote the corresponding crossed products. We present conditions which imply that $A \rtimes G$ and $B \rtimes G$ are also strongly Morita equivalent and we apply our result to improve upon known theorems concerning strong Morita equivalence between certain transformation group ${C^ * }$-algebras.
