Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring over a field and $A$ a standard graded $S$-algebra. In terms of the Gr\"obner basis of the defining ideal $J$ of $A$ we give a condition, called the x-condition, which implies that all graded…

Perfect ideals $I$ of grade $3$ in a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m},\Bbbk)$ can be classified based on multiplicative structures on $\text{Tor}^R_{\bullet}(R/I,\Bbbk)$. The classification is incomplete in the sense that it remains open which…

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…

The semigroups of unital extensions of separable $C^\ast$-algebras come in two flavours: a strong and a weak version. By the unital $\mathrm{Ext}$-groups, we mean the groups of invertible elements in these semigroups. We use the unital…

We give a unified treatment of the model theory of various enrichments of infinite atomic Boolean algebras, with special attention to quantifier-eliminations, complete axiomatizations and decidability. A classical example is the enrichment…

We study C*-algebras generated by two partitions of unity with orthogonality relations governed by hypercubes $Q_n$ for $n \in \mathbb{N} \setminus \{0\}$. These "hypercube C*-algebras'' are special cases of bipartite graph C*-algebras…

We give a definition of partition C*-algebras: To any partition of a finite set, we assign algebraic relations for a matrix of generators of a universal C*-algebra. We then prove how certain relations may be deduced from others and we…

A class of C*-algebras is described for which the homomorphism from $C_0(0,1]$ to the algebra may be classified by means of the Cuntz semigroup functor. Examples are given of algebras--simple and non-simple--for which this classification…

Partial dynamical systems (X,alpha) arise naturally when dealing with commutative C*-dynamical system (A,delta). We associate with every pair (X,alpha), or (A,delta), a covariance C*-algebra C*(X,alpha)=C*(A,delta) which agrees with a…

We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…

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 introduce and analyse the structure of C*-algebras arising from ideals in right tensor C*-precategories, which naturally generalize both relative Cuntz-Pimsner and Doplicher-Roberts algebras. We establish an explicit intrinsic…

We construct a unital pre-C*-algebra $A_0$ which is stably finite, in the sense that every left invertible square matrix over $A_0$ is right invertible, while the C*-completion of $A_0$ contains a non-unitary isometry, and so it is…

This note remarks that the correspondence between non-unital algebras and augmented unital algebras can be derived from Hovey's Smith ideal theory. Applying Smith ideal theory of stable symmetric monoidal model category, we formulate…

Studies among other things, the question of whether a Lie algebra over Z/(p^k)Z lifts to one over Z/(p^(k+1))Z. An obstruction theory is developed and examples of Fp-Lie algebras which don't lift to Lie algebras over Z/p^2Z are discussed.…

Let $T: A\to B$ be a (not necessarily surjective) linear isometry between two real JB$^*$-triples. Then for each $a\in A$ there exists a tripotent $u_a$ in the bidual, $B'',$ of $B$ such that \begin{enumerate}[$(a)$] \item…

For a given family of similar shapes, what we call a "unit shape" strongly analogizes the role of the unit circle within the family of all circles. Within many such families of similar shapes, we present what we believe is naturally and…

Let A be a unital simple separable C*-algebra with strict comparison of positive elements. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A is recovered functorially from the Murray-von Neumann semigroup and the tracial state space T(A) whenever the…

We construct liftings of reduction maps from CM points to supersingular points for general quaternion algebras and use these liftings to establish a precise correspondence between CM points on indefinite quaternion algebras with a given…

A left ideal of any C*-algebra is an example of an operator algebra with a right contractive approximate identity (r.c.a.i.). Conversely, we show here and in a `pre-quel' to this paper [B], that operator algebras with r.c.a.i. should be…
