In this short note, we prove that for a $C^*$-algebra $\aa$ generated by $n$ elements, $M_{k}(\tilde{\aa})$ is generated by $k$ mutually unitarily equivalent and almost mutually orthogonal projections for any $k\ge…
We give new characterizations to ensure that a free product of groups with amalgamation has a simple reduced group C*-algebra, and provide a concrete example of an amalgam with trivial kernel, such that its reduced group C*-algebra has a…
We prove a version of the Cuntz--Krieger Uniqueness Theorem for $C^*$-algebras of arbitrary relative generalized Boolean dynamical systems. We then describe properties of a $C^*$-algebra of a relative generalized Boolean dynamical system…
For each piecewise monotonic map tau of [0,1], we associate a pair of C*-algebras F_tau and O_tau and calculate their K-groups. The algebra F_tau is an AI-algebra. We characterize when F_tau and O_\tau are simple. In those cases, F_tau has…
From a planar algebra, we give a functorial construction to produce numerous associated $C^*$-algebras. Our main construction is a Hilbert $C^*$-bimodule with a canonical real subspace which produces Pimsner-Toeplitz, Cuntz-Pimsner, and…
We address the classification problem for graph $C^*$-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that…
This paper characterizes the unital C*-algebra generated by a single invertible element as the unital free product of C[0,1] and C(T). To do this, I develop techniques to split and merge presentations of C*-algebras using free products in…
In this paper we generalize the notion of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of $C^*$-correspondences to the setting of subproduct systems. The construction is justified in several ways, including the Morita equivalence of the operator algebras under…
We prove a strong classification result for a certain class of $C^{*}$-algebras with primitive ideal space $\widetilde{\mathbb{N}}$, where $\widetilde{\mathbb{N}}$ is the one-point compactification of $\mathbb{N}$. This class contains the…
We construct first examples of non-trivial groups without non-cyclic free subgroups whose reduced $C^\ast$-algebra is simple and has unique trace. This answers a question of de la Harpe. Both torsion and torsion free examples are provided.…
We study the 2-adic version of the ring $C^*$-algebra of the integers. First, we work out the precise relation between the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$ and our 2-adic ring $C^*$-algebra in terms of representations. Secondly, we prove a 2-adic…
We provide an abstract categorical framework that relates the Cuntz semigroups of the C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $A\otimes \mathcal{K}$. This is done through a certain completion of ordered monoids by adding suprema of countable ascending…
Nuclear $C^*$-algebras having a system of completely positive approximations formed with convex combinations of a uniformly bounded number of order zero summands are shown to be approximately finite dimensional.
We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated to directed graphs of groups. In particular, we associate a combinatorial $C^*$-algebra to each row-finite directed graph of groups with no sources, and show that this $C^*$-algebra is Morita…
Given a separated graph $(E,C)$, there are two different C*-algebras associated to it, the full graph C*-algebra $C^*(E,C)$, and the reduced one $C^*_{\text{red}} (E,C)$. For a large class of separated graphs $(E,C)$, we prove that…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a row-finite graph E so that the Leavitt path algebra L(E) is purely infinite simple. This result provides the algebraic analog to the corresponding result for the Cuntz-Krieger C$^*$-algebra…
We show that a C*-algebra "looking like" a Cuntz-Krieger algebra is a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. This implies that, in an appropriate sense, the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras is closed under extensions of real rank zero.
Iteration of a rational function $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We introduce a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ associated with $R$ as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a Hilbert bimodule over the algebra $A = C(J_R)$ of…
We classify graph C*-algebras, namely, Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the Bass-Hashimoto edge incidence operator of a finite graph. This is done by a purely graph theoretical calculation of the K-theory and the position of the unit…
We extend applications of Furstenberg boundary theory to the study of $C^*$-algebras associated to minimal actions $\Gamma\!\curvearrowright\! X$ of discrete groups $\Gamma$ on locally compact spaces $X$. We introduce boundary maps on…
