Quasidiagonal traces and crossed products

Abstract

Let $A$ be a simple, exact, separable, unital $C^{\ast }$-algebra and let $\alpha :G\to Aut(A)$ be an action of a finite group $G$ with the weak tracial Rokhlin property. We show that every trace on $A{⋊}_{\alpha }G$ is quasidiagonal provided that all traces on $A$ are quasidiagonal. As an application, we study the behavior of finite decomposition rank under taking crossed products by finite group actions with the weak tracial Rokhlin property. Moreover, we discuss the stability of the property that all traces are quasidiagonal under taking crossed products of finite group actions with finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers.
