We study the structure and compute the stable rank of C*-algebras of finite higher-rank graphs. We completely determine the stable rank of the C*-algebra when the k-graph either contains no cycle with an entrance, or is cofinal. We also…

We study simplicity of $C^*$-algebras arising from self-similar groups of $\mathbb{Z}_2$-multispinal type, a generalization of the Grigorchuk case whose simplicity was first proved by L. Clark, R. Exel, E. Pardo, C. Starling, and A. Sims in…

Enveloping $C^*$-algebras for some finitely generated $*$-algebras are considered. It is shown that all of the considered algebras are identically defined by their dual spaces. The description in terms of matrix-functions is given. Keywords…

We describe a class of rank-2 graphs whose C^*-algebras are AT algebras. For a subclass which we call rank-2 Bratteli diagrams, we compute the K-theory of the C*-algebra. We identify rank-2 Bratteli diagrams whose C*-algebras are simple and…

Let $1 \in A \subset B$ be an inclusion of unital C*-algebras of index-finite type and depth 2. Suppose that $A$ is infinite dimensional simple with $tsr(A) = 1$ and SP-property. Then $tsr(B) \leq 2$. As a corollary when $A$ is a simple…

Spielberg's construction of C*-algebras from left cancellative small categories is a common generalization for most C*-algebras one would consider to come from ``combinatorial data,'' including graph and $k$-graph C*-algebras, Li's…

The notion of a self-similar ultragraph $(G,\mathcal{U},\varphi)$ and its $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{G,\mathcal{U}}$ were introduced in our recent work, where we proposed inverse semigroup and groupoid models for such $C^*$-algebras as…

We show that every groupoid C*-algebra is isomorphic to its opposite, and deduce that there exist C*-algebras that are not stably isomorphic to groupoid C*-algebras, though many of them are stably isomorphic to twisted groupoid C*-algebras.…

We present a $C^*$-algebra which is naturally associated to the $ax+b$-semigroup over $\mathbb N$. It is simple and purely infinite and can be obtained from the algebra considered by Bost and Connes by adding one unitary generator which…

We initiate the study of computable presentations of real and complex C*-algebras under the program of effective metric structure theory. With the group situation as a model, we develop corresponding notions of recursive presentations and…

We prove that if \Lambda is a row-finite k-graph with no sources, then the associated C^*-algebra is simple if and only if \Lambda is cofinal and satisfies Kumjian and Pask's Condition (A). We prove that Condition (A) is equivalent to a…
