A higher rank numerical semigroup is a positive cone whose seminormalization is isomorphic to the free abelian semigroup. The corresponding nonselfadjoint semigroup algebras are known to provide examples that answer Arveson's Dilation…

Operator algebras generated by partial isometries and their adjoints form the basis for some of the most well studied classes of C*-algebras. The primary object of this paper is the norm-closed operator algebra generated by a left…

A Markov operator $P$ acting on $C(X)$, where $X$ is compact, gives rise to a natural topological quiver. We use the theory of such quivers to attach a $C^{*}$-algebra to $P$ in a fashion that reflects some of the probabilistic properties…

We prove that any separable exact C*-algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_2.$ We further prove that if $A$ is a simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra, then ${\cal O}_2 \otimes A \cong {\cal O}_2,$ and…

In this paper, we begin by presenting a construction for induced representations of Hilbert modules over pro-$C^*$-algebras for a given continuous $^*$-morphism between pro-$C^*$-algebras. Subsequently, we describe the structure of…

Composition operators with analytic symbols on some reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces of entire functions on a complex Hilbert space are studied. The questions of their boundedness, seminormality and positivity are investigated. It is…

A new homology is defined for a non-self-adjoint operator algebra and distinguished masa which is based upon cycles and boundaries associated with complexes of partial isometries in the stable algebra. Under natural hypotheses the zeroth…

We classify operator systems $S\subseteq \mathcal B(H)$ that act on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces by making use of the noncommutative Choquet boundary. S is said to be {\em reduced} when its boundary ideal is 0. In the category of…

We consider the question of when the multiplier algebra $M(\mathcal{A})$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is a $ W^*$-algebra, and show that it holds for a stable $C^*$-algebra exactly when it is a $C^*$-algebra of compact operators. This…

Suppose that A is a C*-algebra for which A is isomorphic to A tensor Z, where Z is the Jiang-Su algebra: a unital, simple, stably finite, separable, nuclear, infinite dimensional C*-algebra with the same Elliott invariant as the complex…

Researchers have identified complex matrices $A$ such that a bounded linear operator $B$ acting on a Hilbert space will admit a dilation of the form $A \otimes I$ whenever the numerical range inclusion relation $W(B) \subseteq W(A)$ holds.…

We construct a topology on the standard Hilbert module $l^2(\mathcal A)$ over a unital $W^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ such that any "compact" operator, (i.e.\ any operator in the norm closure of the linear span of the operators of the form…

We study crossed products of arbitrary operator algebras by locally compact groups of completely isometric automorphisms. We develop an abstract theory that allows for generalizations of many of the fundamental results from the selfadjoint…

Nuclear C*-algebras enjoy a number of approximation properties, most famously the completely positive approximation property. This was recently sharpened to arrange for the incoming maps to be sums of order-zero maps. We show that, in…

In this paper we consider the cone of all positive, bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and examine bijective maps that preserve absolute continuity in both directions. It turns out that these maps…

In this paper we survey our recent work on C*-correspondences and their associated operator algebras; in particular, on adding tails, the Shift Equivalence Problem and Hilbert bimodules.

We consider various quotients of the C*-algebra of bounded operators on a nonseparable Hilbert space, and prove in some cases that, consistently, there are many outer automorphisms.

Linear spaces with an Euclidean metric are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising both from quadratic forms and inner products. Operators on such spaces also occur naturally. In recent years, the study of multivariate operator theory has made…

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

We consider projectivity and injectivity of Hilbert C*-modules in the categories of Hilbert C*-(bi-)modules over a fixed C*-algebra of coefficients (and another fixed C*-algebra represented as bounded module operators) and bounded…
