Minimality in noncommutative dynamics

In this talk, we discuss the notion of minimality for C*-dynamical systems. We show that the accepted definition is somewhat unsatisfactory as an extension of its commutative counterpart from both a topological dynamical and an operator algebraic perspective and present an alternative notion of an extension which rectifies these issues. We discuss various consequences of this alternative definition.
