We show that every strongly $\mathbb{Z}$-graded C*-algebra (equivalently, every C*-algebra carrying a strongly continuous $\mathbb{T}$-action with full spectral subspaces) is a Cuntz--Pimsner algebra, and describe subalgebras and subspaces…

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 define a notion of ideal for objects in the category of abstract unitary Cuntz semigroups introduced in [3] and termed Cu$^\sim$. We show that the set of ideals of a Cu$^\sim$-semigroup has a complete lattice structure. In fact, we prove…

A complete contraction on a C*-algebra A, which preserves all closed two sided ideals J, can be approximated pointwise by elementary complete contractions if and only if the induced map on the tensor product of B with A/J is contractive for…

We introduce a notion of a uniform structure on the set of all representations of a given separable, not necessarilly commutative $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ by introducing a suitable family of metrics on the set of representations of…

A construction of reversible extensions of dynamical systems which applies to arbitrary mappings (not necessarily with open range) is presented. It is based on calculating the maximal ideal space of C*-algebras that extends endomorphisms to…

Let $A$ be a partial *-algebra endowed with a topology $\tau$ that makes it into a locally convex topological vector space $A[\tau]$. Then $A$ is called a topological partial *-algebra if it satisfies a number of conditions, which all…

We give a classification theorem for unital separable simple nuclear $C^*$-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. We prove that if $A$ and $B$ are two such $C^*$-algebras and $$ (K_0(A),…

A brief and elementary introduction to the subject is presented. Two open problems are given.

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…

A classification theorem is obtained for a class of unital simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras which exhausts all possible values of the Elliott invariant for unital stably finite simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras.…

For elements $a, b$ of a C*-algebra we denote $a=ab$ by $a\ll b$. We show that all $\omega_1$-unital C*-algebras have $\ll$-increasing approximate units, extending a classical result for $\sigma$-unital C*-algebras. We also construct (in…

We study a deformation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra determined by the relations $a_i^*a_i=1+q a_ia_i^*, a_i^*a_j=0$. We define well-behaved unbounded *-representations of the *-algebra defined by relations above and classify all such…

We give some new characterizations of unitaries, isometries, unital operator spaces, unital function spaces, operator systems, C*-algebras, and related objects. These characterizations only employ the vector space and operator space…

We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…

We construct a generalized version for the free product of unital C*-algebras over a family of unital C*-subalgebras, starting from the group-analogue. When all the subalgebras are the same, we recover the free product with amalgamation…

We take a new look at dilation theory for nonself-adjoint operator algebras. Among the extremal (co)extensions of a representation, there is a special property of being fully extremal. This allows a refinement of some of the classical…

We define lifting properties for universal algebras, which we study in this general context and then particularize to various such properties in certain classes of algebras. Next we focus on residuated lattices, in which we investigate…

It is known that the set of all solutions of a commutant lifting and other interpolation problems admits a Redheffer linear-fractional parametrization. The method of unitary coupling identifies solutions of the lifting problem with minimal…

One point compactification is studied in the light of ideal of subsets of $\mathbb{N}$. $\mathcal{I}$-proper map is introduced and showed that a continuous map can be extended continuously to the one point $\mathcal{I}$-compactification if…
