Results from a few years ago of Kennedy and Schafhauser attempt to characterize the simplicity of reduced crossed products, under an assumption which they call vanishing obstruction.
However, this is a strong condition that often fails, even in cases of finite groups acting on finite dimensional C*-algebras. In this work, we give complete C*-dynamical characterization, of when the crossed product is simple, in the setting of FC-hypercentral groups.
This is a large class of amenable groups that, in the finitely-generated setting, is known to coincide with the set of groups with polynomial growth.
