We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors -- real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory -- and the natural…

From a system consisting of a right non-degenerate ring $R$, a pair of $R$-bimodules $Q$ and $P$ and an $R$-bimodule homomorphism $\psi:P\otimes Q\longrightarrow R$ we construct a $\Z$-graded ring $\mathcal{T}_{(P,Q,\psi)}$ called the…

We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, matrix-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive K-theory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, kk_*(A,B),…

We consider a product system over the multiplicative semigroup N^x of Hilbert bimodules which is implicit in work of S. Yamashita and of the second named author. We prove directly, using universal properties, that the associated…

We introduce a method to define $C^*$-algebras from $C^*$-correspondences. Our construction generalizes Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-modules, and graph algebras.

Let P be a left LCM semigroup, and $\alpha$ an action of $P$ by endomorphisms of a $C^{*}$-algebra $A$. We study a semigroup crossed product $C^{*}$-algebra in which the action $\alpha$ is implemented by partial isometries. This crossed…

In the theory of C*-algebras, interesting noncommutative structures arise as deformations of the tensor product. For instance, the rotation algebra may be seen as a scalar twist deformation of the tensor product of the functions on the…

Suppose $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra and $H$ is a $C^*$-correspondence over $A$. If $H$ is regular in the sense that the left action of $A$ is faithful and is given by compact operators, then we compute the $K$-theory of $\mathcal{O}_A(H) \rtimes…

We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our…

Given a compact space X and two commuting continuous open surjective maps sigma_1, sigma_2 : X --> X, we construct certain C*-algebras that reflect the dynamics of the N^2-action. When the maps sigma_1, sigma_2 are local homeomorphisms,…

Let P be a semigroup that admits an embedding into a group G. Assume that the embedding satisfies a certain Toeplitz condition and that the Baum-Connes conjecture holds for G. We prove a formula describing the K- theory of the reduced…

We show that a A-linear map of Hilbert A-modules is induced by a unitary Hilbert module operator if and only if it extends to an ordinary unitary on appropriately defined enveloping Hilbert spaces. Applications to the theory of…

Using Poincar\'e duality in K-theory, we state and prove a Lefschetz fixed point formula for endomorphisms of cross product C*-algebras $C_0(X)\cross G$ coming from covariant pairs. Here $G$ is assumed countable, $X$ a manifold, and…

We regard a right Hilbert C*-module X over a C*-algebra A endowed with an isometric *-homomorphism \phi: A\to L_A(X) as an object X_A of the C*-category of right Hilbert A-modules. Following a construction by the first author and Roberts,…

We associate a pro-C*-algebra to a pro-C*-correspondence and show that this construction generalizes the construction of crossed products by Hilbert pro-C*-bimodules and the construction of pro-C*-crossed products by strong bounded…

A continuous one-parameter group of unitary isometries of a right Hilbert C*-bimodule induces a quasi-free dynamics on the Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra of the bimodule and on its Toeplitz extension. The restriction of such a dynamics to the…

We prove a version of uniqueness theorem for Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of discrete product systems over semigroups of Ore type. To this end, we introduce Doplicher-Roberts picture of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, and the semigroup dual to a product…

We consider C*-algebras generated by a single Hilbert bimodule (Pimsner-Toeplitz algebras) and by a product systems of Hilbert bimodules. We give a new proof of a theorem of Pimsner, which states that any representation of the generating…

We derive the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence calculating the K-theory of a $C^{*}$- algebra with $\mathbb{Z}$-action using constructions with equivariant coarse K-homology theory. We then investigate to which extend this idea extends to more…

In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C$^*$-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott…
