Extending the work of Cuntz and Vershik, we develop a general notion of independence for commuting group endomorphisms. Based on this concept, we initiate the study of irreversible algebraic dynamical systems, which can be thought of as…

It is a well-known fact that endomorphisms of $B(H)$ are intimately connected with families of mutually orthogonal isometries, i.e. with representations of the so-called Toeplitz $C^*$-algebras. In this paper we consider a natural…

For a directed graph $E$, we compute the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ from the Cuntz-Krieger generators and relations. First we compute the $K$-theory of the crossed product $C^*(E)\times_\gamma\IT$, and then using duality and…

The purpose of this article is to present a "Groupoid proof" to the Lefschetz fixed point formula for elliptic complexes. We shall define a "relative version" of tangent groupoid, describe the corresponding pseudodifferential calculi and…

We introduce a new class of C^*-algebras, which is a generalization of both graph algebras and homeomorphism C^*-algebras. This class is very large and also very tractable. We prove the so-called gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the…

In this paper, we study multiplicative structures on the K-theory of the core $A:=C^*(E)^{U(1)}$ of the C*-algebra $C^*(E)$ of a directed graph $E$. In the first part of the paper, we study embeddings $E\to E\times E$ that induce a…

For algebraic Anosov diffeomorphisms we first express the reduced leafwise cohomology with respect to the unstable foliation in terms of finite dimensional Lie algebra cohomology. We then prove a dynamical Lefschetz trace formula for the…

We survey work by the author and Ralf Meyer on equivariant KK-theory. Duality plays a key role in our approach. We organize the survey around the objective of computing a certain homotopy-invariant of a space equipped with a proper action…

A theory of differential characters is developed for manifolds with boundary. This is done from both the Cheeger-Simons and the deRham-Federer viewpoints. The central result of the paper is the formulation and proof of a…

In this paper we give a formula for the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space. This is done by realising the $C^*$-algebra of a weakly left-resolving labelled space as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a…

The paper presents a construction of the crossed product of a C*-algebra by a semigroup of endomorphisms generated by partial isometries.

Let $f$ be an orientation and area preserving diffeomorphism of an oriented surface $M$ with an isolated degenerate fixed point $z_0$ with Lefschetz index one. Le Roux conjectured that $z_0$ is accumulated by periodic orbits. In this…

We prove the following generalisation of Schauder's fixed point conjecture: Let $C_1,...,C_n$ be convex subsets of a Hausdorff topological vector space. Suppose that the $C_i$ are closed in $C=C_1\cup...\cup C_n$. If $f:C\to C$ is a…

This article continues the investigation of the tracial geometry of classifiable $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras that have real rank zero and stable rank one. Using the language of optimal transport, we describe several situations in which the…

The Lefschetz number and fixed point index can be thought of as two different descriptions of the same invariant. The Lefschetz number is algebraic and defined using homology. The index is defined more directly from the topology and is a…

We establish an algebra-isomorphism between the complexified Grothendieck ring F of certain bimodule categories over a modular tensor category and the endomorphism algebra of appropriate morphism spaces of those bimodule categories. This…

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…

We present a systematic study of the structure of crossed products and fixed point algebras by compact group actions with the Rokhlin property on not necessarily unital C*-algebras. Our main technical result is the existence of an…

We consider a family of dynamical systems (A,alpha,L) in which alpha is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for \alpha. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show…

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…
