We compute the K-theory of ring C*-algebras for polynomial rings over finite fields. The key ingredient is a duality theorem which we had obtained in a previous paper. It allows us to show that the K-theory of these algebras has a ring…

We study the universal C^*-algebras generated by n projections $p_1, >..., p_n$ subject to the relation $p_1+... p_n = \lambda 1$, $\lambda \in \mathbb R$. The questions of when these C^*-algebras are type I, nuclear or exact are…

Motivated by Exel's inverse semigroup approach to combinatorial C*-algebras, in a previous work the authors defined an inverse semigroup associated with a labelled space. We construct a representation of the C*-algebra of a labelled space,…

We geometrically describe the relation induced on a set of graphs by isomorphism of their associated graph C*-algebras as the smallest equivalence relation generated by five types of moves. The graphs studied have finitely many vertices and…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

We consider an abstract Wick ordering as a family of relations on elements a_i and define *-algebras by these relations. The relations are given by a fixed operator T:h\otimes h --> h \otimes h, where h is one-particle space, and they…

We describe proper correspondences from graph C*-algebras to arbitrary C*-algebras by K-theoretic data. If the target C*-algebra is a graph C*-algebra as well, we may lift an isomorphism on a certain invariant to correspondences back and…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

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.

The construction of the C*-algebra associated to a directed graph $E$ is extended to incorporate a family $C$ consisting of partitions of the sets of edges emanating from the vertices of $E$. These C*-algebras $C^*(E,C)$ are analyzed in…

We investigate Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebras associated with certain correspondences of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We analyze these $C^*$-algebras by analogy with irrational rotation algebras $A_\theta$ and Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$.…

Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…

Order unit property of a positive element in a $C^{*}$-algebra is defined. It is proved that precisely projections satisfy this order theoretic property. This way, unital hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebras of a $C^{*}$-algebra are…

The universal C*-algebra generated by n projections has been described. As an immediate corollary one obtains structure theorem for a pair of projections and the solution to an associated index problem. This puts the study of a pair of…

We characterize relatively norm compact sets in the regular $C^*$-algebra of finitely generated Coxeter groups using a geometrically defined positive semigroup acting on the algebra.

In a recent article, we gave a definition of partition C*-algebras. These are universal C*-algebras based on algebraic relations which are induced from partitions of sets. In this follow up article, we show that often we can associate a…

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

In this paper, we investigate *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras associated to \'etale groupoids. First, we prove that such a *-homomorphism can be described by closed invariant subsets, groupoid homomorphisms and cocycles under some…

Let $G=K\ltimes A$ be the semi-direct product group of a compact group $K$ acting on an abelian locally compact group $A$. We describe the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G)$ of $G$ in terms of an algebra of operator fields defined over the spectrum of…

We study the ideal structure of $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences. We prove that gauge-invariant ideals of our $C^*$-algebras are parameterized by certain pairs of ideals of original $C^*$-algebras. We show that our…
