We generalise the Dixmier-Douady classification of continuous-trace C*-algebras to Fell algebras. To do so, we show that C*-diagonals in Fell algebras are precisely abelian subalgebras with the extension property, and use this to prove that…

To a Boolean inverse monoid $S$ we associate a universal C*-algebra $C_B^*(S)$ and show that it is equal to Exel's tight C*-algebra of $S$. We then show that any invariant mean on $S$ (in the sense of Kudryavtseva, Lawson, Lenz and Resende)…

We construct the first example of a $C^*$-algebra $A$ with the properties in the title. This gives a new example of non-nuclear $A$ for which there is a unique $C^*$-norm on $A \otimes A^{op}$. This example is of particular interest in…

We investigate the interplay of the following regularity properties for non-simple C*-algebras: finite nuclear dimension, Z-stability, and algebraic regularity in the Cuntz semigroup. We show that finite nuclear dimension implies algebraic…

The pro-algebraic fundamental group can be understood as a completion with respect to finite-dimensional non-commutative algebras. We introduce finer invariants by looking at completions with respect to Banach and C*-algebras, from which we…

It is proved that every separable $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero contains an AF-sub-$C^*$-algebra such that the inclusion mapping induces an isomorphism of the ideal lattices of the two $C^*$-algebras and such that every projection in a…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…

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…

We observe that a recent theorem of Sato, Toms-White-Winter and Kirchberg-Rordam also holds for certain nonunital C*-algebras. Namely, we show that an algebraically simple, separable, nuclear, nonelementary C*-algebra with strict…

Every directed graph defines a Hilbert space and a family of weighted shifts that act on the space. We identify a natural notion of periodicity for such shifts and study their C*-algebras. We prove the algebras generated by all shifts of a…

We introduce certain $C^*$-algebras and $k$-graphs associated to $k$ finite dimensional unitary representations $\rho_1,...,\rho_k$ of a compact group $G$. We define a higher rank Doplicher-Roberts algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\rho_1,...,\rho_k}$,…

Let $A$ and $C$ be two unital simple C*-algebas with tracial rank zero. Suppose that $C$ is amenable and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. Denote by ${{KK}}_e(C,A)^{++}$ the set of those $\kappa$ for which…

We prove a new uniqueness theorem for the tight C*-algebras of an inverse semigroup by generalizing the uniqueness theorem given for \'etale groupoid C*-algebras by Brown, Nagy, Reznikoff, Sims, and Williams. We use this to show that in the…

It is shown that if A is a stably finite C*-algebra and E is a countably generated Hilbert A-module, then E gives rise to a compact element of the Cuntz semigroup if and only if E is algebraically finitely generated and projective. It…

We consider the properties weak cancellation, K_1-surjectivity, good index theory, and K_1-injectivity for the class of extremally rich C*-algebras, and for the smaller class of isometrically rich C*-algebras. We establish all four…

We partially resolve three open questions on approximation properties of traces on simple C*-algebras. We partially answer two questions raised by Nate Brown by showing that locally finite dimensional (LFD) traces form a convex set on…

We study the notions of nuclearity and exactness for module maps on $C^{*}$-algebras which are $C^*$-module over another $C^*$-algebra with compatible actions and examine finite approximation properties of such $C^*$-modules. We prove…

We prove that the graph C*-algebra $C^*(E)$ of a trimmable graph $E$ is $U(1)$-equivariantly isomorphic to a pullback C*-algebra of a subgraph C*-algebra $C^*(E'')$ and the C*-algebra of functions on a circle tensored with another subgraph…
