It is proved that the C*-algebra of a graph is residually finite dimensional (RFD) if and only if the graph has no infinite receiver, no cycle with an exit, no infinite ackward chain and from each vertex, there is a finite path to a sink or…

We introduce P-graphs, which are generalisations of directed graphs in which paths have a degree in a semigroup P rather than a length in N. We focus on semigroups P arising as part of a quasi-lattice ordered group (G,P) in the sense of…

It is now well known that a simple graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ of a directed graph $E$ is either AF or purely infinite. In this paper, we address the question of whether this is the case for labeled graph $C^*$-algebras recently introduced…

In this paper we analyze the structure of C*-algebras associated to ultragraphs, which are generalizations of directed graphs. We characterize the simple ultragraph algebras as well as deduce necessary and sufficient conditions for an…

In this paper, we consider the simplicity of the C*-algebra associated to an arbitrary weakly left-resolving labeled space (E, L, E), where E is the smallest non-degenerate accommodating set. We classify all gauge-invariant ideals of C*(E,…

Let $G$ be a Hausdorff, \'etale groupoid that is minimal and topologically principal. We show that $C^*_r(G)$ is purely infinite simple if and only if all the nonzero positive elements of $C_0(G^0)$ are infinite in $C_r^*(G)$. If $G$ is a…

We prove that the C*-algebra of a second-countable, \'etale, amenable groupoid is simple if and only if the groupoid is topologically principal and minimal. We also show that if G has totally disconnected unit space, then the associated…

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 $\mathcal{O}_{\rho_1,...,\rho_k}$,…

It is shown that the reduced C*-algebra of a nontrivial linear group $\Gamma<GL_{d}(k)$ with trivial amenable radical is selfless. Thus selflessness and simplicity coincide for reduced C*-algebras of linear groups. Similar results are…

We describe the primitive ideal space of the $C^{\ast}$-algebra of a row-finite $k$-graph with no sources when every ideal is gauge invariant. We characterize which spectral spaces can occur, and compute the primitive ideal space of two…

We give two new conditions on topological $k$-graphs that are equivalent to the Yeend's aperiodicity Condition (A). Each of the new conditions concerns finite paths rather than infinite. We use a specific example, resulting from a new…

We introduce a graph theoretic property called Condition (N) for finitely separated graphs and prove that it is equivalent to both nuclearity and exactness of the associated universal tame graph C*-algebra.

In this paper, we describe primitive ideal space of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\Lambda)$ associated to any locally convex row-finite $k$-graph $\Lambda$. To do this, we will apply the Farthing's desourcifying method on a recent result of…

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 show that the C*-algebra of a row-finite source-free k-graph is Rieffel-Morita equivalent to a crossed product of an AF algebra by the fundamental group of the k-graph. When the k-graph embeds in its fundamental groupoid, this AF algebra…

A necessary and sufficient condition for the simplicity of the C*-algebra reduced free product of finite dimensional abelian algebras is found, and it is proved that the stable rank of every such free product is 1. Related results about…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of a self-similar action of a group $G$ on a $k$-graph $\Lambda$, and associate it a universal C*-algebra $\O_{G,\Lambda}$. We prove that $\O_{G,\Lambda}$ can be realized as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of…

Topological quivers generalize the notion of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact (second countable) Hausdorff spaces. Associated to a topological quiver $Q$ is a $C^*$-correspondence, and in turn, a…
