Sierakowski's ideal-separation conjecture for reduced crossed products

Let (A,Γ)(A,\Gamma) be a CC^*-dynamical system with Γ\Gamma discrete, and let Γ\Gamma act on the spectrum A^\widehat{A} of AA. The action is essentially free if the points with trivial stabilizer are dense in every closed invariant subset of A^\widehat{A}. The algebra AA is viewed as the canonical subalgebra of the reduced crossed product ArΓA\rtimes_r\Gamma.

Sierakowski's conjecture. If the action of Γ\Gamma on A^\widehat{A} is essentially free, then AA separates the ideals of ArΓA\rtimes_r\Gamma.

The conjecture asserts that every ideal of the reduced crossed product is determined by its intersection with the coefficient algebra AA. The paper explains that its theorem gives a negative answer, so the conjecture is refuted.
