Given a locally compact group $G$, a nondegenerate Banach algebra $A$ with a contractive approximate identity, a twisted action $(\alpha, \sigma)$ of $G$ on $A$, and a family $\mathcal{R}$ of uniformly bounded representations of $A$ on…

We address the natural question: as noncommutative solenoids are inductive limits of quantum tori, do the standard spectral triples on quantum tori converge to some spectral triple on noncommutative solenoid for the spectral propinquity? We…

For $p \in [1, \infty)$, we generalize the concept of classical spectral triples by extending the framework from Hilbert spaces to $L^p$-spaces, and from C*-algebras to $L^p$-operator algebras. In addition, we define an $L^p$-spectral…

In the context of metric geometry, we introduce a new necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of an inductive sequence of quantum compact metric spaces for the Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity, which is a noncommutative analogue…

Let $p\in \mathbb{N}$ be prime, and let $\theta$ be irrational. The authors have previously shown that the noncommutative $p$-solenoid corresponding to the multiplier of the group $\left(\mathbb{Z}\left[\frac{1}{p}\right]\right)^2$…

Let p be prime. A noncommutative p-solenoid is the C*-algebra of Z[1/p] x Z[1/p] twisted by a multiplier of that group, where Z[1/p] is the additive subgroup of the field Q of rational numbers whose denominators are powers of p. In this…

We consider groupoids constructed from a finite number of commuting local homeomorphisms acting on a compact metric space, and study generalized Ruelle operators and $ C^{\ast} $-algebras associated to these groupoids. We provide a new…

In this paper we define the notion of monic representation for the $C^*$-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs with no sources, and undertake a comprehensive study of them. Monic representations are the representations that, when restricted…

In this paper, we present a new way to associate a finitely summable spectral triple to a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$, via the infinite path space $\Lambda^\infty$ of $\Lambda$. Moreover, we prove that this spectral triple has a close…

A noncommutative solenoid is the C*-algebra $C^\ast(\Q_N^2,\sigma)$ where $\Q_N$ is the group of the $N$-adic rationals twisted and $\sigma$ is a multiplier of $\Q_N^2$. In this paper, we use techniques from noncommutative topology to…

We study purely atomic representations of C*-algebras associated to row-finite and source-free higher-rank graphs. We describe when purely atomic representations are unitarily equivalent and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a…

In this note, we present a new way to associate a spectral triple to the noncommutative $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\Lambda)$ of a strongly connected finite higher-rank graph $\Lambda$. We generalize a spectral triple of Consani and Marcolli from…

In this paper, we discuss a method of constructing separable representations of the $C^*$-algebras associated to strongly connected row-finite $k$-graphs $\Lambda$. We begin by giving an alternative characterization of the…

We prove that noncommutative solenoids are limits, in the sense of the Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity, of quantum tori. From this observation, we prove that noncommutative solenoids can be approximated by finite dimensional quantum compact…

In this monograph we undertake a comprehensive study of separable representations (as well as their unitary equivalence classes) of $C^*$-algebras associated to strongly connected finite $k$-graphs $\Lambda$. We begin with the…

In this paper, we present two new ways to associate a spectral triple to a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$. Moreover, we prove that these spectral triples are intimately connected to the wavelet decomposition of the infinite path space of…

In this article we provide an identification between the wavelet decompositions of certain fractal representations of $C^*-$algebras of directed graphs of M. Marcolli and A. Paolucci, and the eigenspaces of Laplacians associated to spectral…

Here we give an overview on the connection between wavelet theory and representation theory for graph $C^{\ast}$-algebras, including the higher-rank graph $C^*$-algebras of A. Kumjian and D. Pask. Many authors have studied different aspects…

Let $\Lambda$ be a strongly connected, finite higher-rank graph. In this paper, we construct representations of $C^*(\Lambda)$ on certain separable Hilbert spaces of the form $L^2(X,\mu)$, by introducing the notion of a…

The quantum Heisenberg manifolds are noncommutive manifolds constructed by M. Rieffel as strict deformation quantizations of Heisenberg manifolds and have been studied by various authors. Rieffel constructed the quantum Heisenberg manifolds…
