Abstract

For a topological dynamical system Σ = (X, σ) where X is a compact metric space with a single homeomorphism σ, we determine the largest postliminal ideal of the transformation group C*-algebra A(Σ) as the intersection of all kernels of irreducible representations of A(Σ) induced from those recurrent points which are not periodic. The result implies characterizations of topological dynamical systems whose transformation group C*-algebras are anti-liminal and post-liminal, that is, of type 1.
