We prove that the category of abstract Cuntz semigroups is bicomplete. As a consequence, the category admits products and ultraproducts. We further show that the scaled Cuntz semigroup of the (ultra)product of a family of C*-algebras agrees…

We study partial actions of exact discrete groups on C*-algebras. We show that the partial crossed product of a commutative C*-algebra by an exact discrete group is nuclear whenever the full and reduced partial crossed products coincide.…

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple algebraic group with trivial center, $S < G$ a maximal split torus, $H < G$ the centralizer of $S$ in $G$ and $\Gamma < G$ an irreducible lattice. Consider the group measure space von Neumann algebra…

For a countably infinite group $\Gamma$, let $\mathcal{W}_\Gamma$ denote the space of all weak equivalence classes of measure-preserving actions of $\Gamma$ on atomless standard probability spaces, equipped with the compact metrizable…

Let $G$ be a group and $S$ a unital epsilon-strongly $G$-graded algebra. We construct spectral sequences converging to the Hochschild (co)homology of $S$. Each spectral sequence is expressed in terms of the partial group (co)homology of $G$…

Topological algebras have properties that extend naturally to those of topological groups [8, 9], but is it the case that semi-direct products exist as in the category of groups? Firstly, we express concepts in categorical language that…

The spaces $W_\alpha$ are the Banach spaces whose duals are isometric to $\ell_1$ and such that the standard basis of $\ell_1$ is $w^*$-convergent to $\alpha\in \ell_1$. The core result of our paper proves that an $\ell_1$-predual $X$…

This paper has two parts. The main goal, carried out in Part I, is to survey some recent work by the authors in which "forced" grading constructions have played a significant role in the representation theory of semisimple algebraic groups…

We show how to construct a graded locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid from a C*-algebra carrying a coaction of a discrete group, together with a suitable abelian subalgebra. We call this groupoid the extended Weyl groupoid. When the…

We define equivariant semiprojectivity for C*-algebras equipped with actions of compact groups. We prove that the following examples are equivariantly semiprojective: arbitrary finite dimensional C*-algebras with arbitrary actions of…

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…

In this paper we study various convolution-type algebras associated with a locally compact quantum group from cohomological and geometrical points of view. The quantum group duality endows the space of trace class operators over a locally…

We investigate the notion of Connes-amenability for dual Banach algebras, as introduced by Runde, for bidual algebras and weighted semigroup algebras. We provide some simplifications to the notion of a $\sigma WC$-virtual diagonal, as…

Let $\ell$ be a length function on a group G, and let $M_{\ell}$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $\ell$ on $\bell^2(G)$. Following Connes, $M_{\ell}$ can be used as a ``Dirac'' operator for $C_r^*(G)$. It defines a…

A coproduct on a vector space $A$ is defined as a linear map $\Delta:A\to A\otimes A$ satisfying coassociativity $(\Delta\otimes\iota)\Delta=(\iota\otimes\Delta)\Delta$. We use $\iota$ for the identity map. If $G$ is a finite group and if…

For a complete and cocomplete category $\mathcal{C}$ with a well-behaved class of `projectives' $\bar{\mathcal{P}}$, we construct a model structure on the category $s\mathcal{C}$ of simplicial objects in $\mathcal{C}$ where the weak…

We introduce locally involutive semigroups and embed them into the category of ordered groupoids. This embedding restricts to a correspondence between quasi-involutive semigroups and ordered groupoids with mediator, extending the classical…

We investigate generalized amenability and biflatness properties of various (operator) Segal algebras in both the group algebra, L1(G), and the Fourier algebra, A(G), of a locally compact group, G.

Let $W$ be a finite reflection group, either real or complex, and $S_\ell$ a Sylow $\ell$-subgroup of $W$. We prove the existence of a semidirect product decomposition of $N_W(S_\ell)$ in terms of the unique parabolic subgroup of $W$…

For each group G which decomposes into a finitary direct product of free groups of finite rank we construct a regular band B such that the free idempotent generated semigroup over B contains a maximal subgroup isomorphic to G. In…
