We show that the method to construct C^*-algebras from topological graphs, introduced in our previous paper, generalizes many known constructions. We give many ways to make new topological graphs from old ones, and study the relation of…

We show that semiprojectivity of a C*-algebra is preserved when passing to C*-subalgebras of finite codimension. In particular, any pullback of two semiprojective C*-algebras over a finite-dimensional C*-algebra is again semiprojective.

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.

We show that the following five categories are equivalent: (1) the opposite category of commutative von Neumann algebras; (2) compact strictly localizable enhanced measurable spaces; (3) measurable locales; (4) hyperstonean locales; (5)…

The classical Gelfand--Naimark theorems provide important insight into the structure of general and of commutative C*-algebras. It is shown that these can be generalized to certain ordered *-algebras. More precisely, for $\sigma$-bounded…

We construct compact polyhedra with triangular faces whose links are generalized 3-gons. They are interesting compact spaces covered by Euclidean buildings of type $A_2$. Those spaces give us two-dimensional subshifts, which can be used to…

This work provides a generalization of the Gelfand duality to the context of noncommutative locally $C^*$ algebras. Using a reformulation of a theorem proven by Dauns and Hofmann in the 60's we show that every locally $C^*$ algebra can be…

We study properties of C*-algebras obtained from the nonstandard hull construction (a generalization of the ultraproduct of C*-algebras). Among others, we prove that the properties of being an infinite and a properly infinite C*-algebra are…

We give a characterization of the ''uniform closure'' of the dual of a $C^{*}$-algebra. Some applications in harmonic analysis are given.

We unify the classic Dauns-Hofmann representation with Kumjian and Renault's Weyl groupoid representation. More precisely, we use ultrafilters to represent C*-algebras with some additional structure on Fell bundles over locally compact…

We give a complete $K$-theoretical description of when an extension of two simple graph $C^{*}$-algebras is again a graph $C^{*}$-algebra.

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

We extend the Gelfand-Naimark duality of commutative C*-algebras, "A COMMUTATIVE C*-ALGEBRA -- A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE" to "A C*-ALGEBRA--A QUOTIENT OF A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE". Thus, a C*-algebra is isomorphic to the…

In the present paper we study the structure of C*-$algebras generated by a certain *-algebra A and a partial isometry inducing an endomorphism of A.

We provide a self-contained proof of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem in the case of finite-dimensional Von Neumann algebras (or equivalently unital C* algebras) that is fully constructive and uses only basic notions of linear algebra.

We study $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences, which was introduced by the author. We prove the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, and obtain conditions for our $C^*$-algebras to be nuclear, exact, or satisfy the Universal…

We give two characterizations of tracially nuclear C*-algebras. The first is that the finite summand of the second dual is hyperfinite. The second is in terms of a variant of the weak* uniqueness property. The necessary condition holds for…

We present a collection of questions related to the structure and classification of nuclear C*-algebras.

We construct a weak conditional expectation from the section C*-algebra of a Fell bundle over a unital inverse semigroup to its unit fibre. We use this to define the reduced C*-algebra of the Fell bundle. We study when the reduced…

We study the C*-algebras of Fell bundles. In particular, we prove the analogue of Renault's disintegration theorem for groupoids. As in the groupoid case, this result is the key step in proving a deep equivalence theorem for the C*-algebras…
