We consider spatial discretizations by the finite section method of the restricted group algebra of a finitely generated discrete group, which is represented as a concrete operator algebra via its left-regular representation. Special…

These are the lecture notes for a course at the Summer School on "Applied Analysis" at the Technical University Chemnitz in September 2011. We start with the definition of a fractal algebra and show that the fractal property is enormously…

We consider three notions of divisibility in the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra, and show how they reflect properties of the C*-algebra. We develop methods to construct (simple and non-simple) C*-algebras with specific divisibility…

In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…

We investigate the interplay of the following regularity properties for non-simple C*-algebras: finite nuclear dimension, Z-stability, and algebraic regularity in the Cuntz semigroup. We show that finite nuclear dimension implies algebraic…

We describe the $C^*$-algebra associated with the finite sections discretization of truncated Toeplitz operators on the model space $K^2_u$ where $u$ is an infinite Blaschke product. As consequences, we get a stability criterion for the…

We examine the ranks of operators in semi-finite C*-algebras as measured by their densely defined lower semicontinuous traces. We first prove that a unital simple C*-algebra whose extreme tracial boundary is nonempty and finite contains…

We show that the dimension of the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra is determined by the dimensions of the Cuntz semigroups of its separable sub-C*-algebras. This allows us to remove separability assumptions from previous results on the…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…

In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C$^*$-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott…

Cuntz algebra $\mathcal O_2$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by two isometries $s_1, s_2$ satisfying $s_1s_1^*+s_2s_2^*=1$. This is separable, simple, infinite $C^*$-algebra containing a copy of any nuclear $C^*$-algebra. The…

The Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra is an important invariant in the structure and classification theory of C*-algebras. It captures more information than K-theory but is often more delicate to handle. We systematically study the lattice…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the finite section method for operators belonging to a certain $C^*$-algebra of operators acting on the Hilbert space $l^2_H(\mathbb{Z})$ of $H$-valued sequences where…

The C*-algebra of bounded operators on the separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space cannot be mapped to a W*-algebra in such a way that each unital commutative C*-subalgebra C(X) factors normally through $\ell^\infty(X)$. Consequently,…

We prove that separable C*-algebras which are completely close in a natural uniform sense have isomorphic Cuntz semigroups, continuing a line of research developed by Kadison - Kastler, Christensen, and Khoshkam. This result has several…

We investigate how a C*-algebra could consist of functions on a noncommutative set: a discretization of a C*-algebra $A$ is a $*$-homomorphism $A \to M$ that factors through the canonical inclusion $C(X) \subseteq \ell^\infty(X)$ when…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup is a complete invariant for the C*-algebras that can be realized as an inductive limit of a sequence of finite direct sums of splitting interval algebras.

We calculate the Cuntz semigroup of the tensor product A with A. We restrict our attention to C*-algebras A which are unital, simple, nuclear, stably finite, have stable rank one, absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and satisfy the…

The class of separable C*-algebras which can be written as inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras with spectrum homeomorphic to a disjoint union of trees and trees with a point removed is classified by the Cuntz semigroup.

We introduce a notion of covering dimension for Cuntz semigroups of C*-algebras. This dimension is always bounded by the nuclear dimension of the C*-algebra, and for subhomogeneous C*-algebras both dimensions agree. Cuntz semigroups of…
