Assume that we are given a coaction \delta of a locally compact group G on a C*-algebra A and a T-valued Borel 2-cocycle \omega on G. Motivated by the approach of Kasprzak to Rieffel's deformation we define a deformation A_\omega of A.…

Let $G$ be a non-discrete LCA group with the dual group $\Gamma$. We define generalized group algebra, ${\mathcal L}^1(G)$, and generalized measure algebra, ${\mathcal M}(G),$ on $G$ as generalizations of the group algebra $L^1(G)$ and the…

Given a (not necessarily discrete) proper metric space $M$ with bounded geometry, we define a groupoid $G(M)$. We show that the coarse Baum--Connes conjecture with coefficients, which states that the assembly map with coefficients for G(M)…

Let $G$ be a non-compact group, $K$ the compact subgroup fixed by a Cartan involution and assume $G/K$ is an exceptional, symmetric space, one of Cartan type $E,F $ or $G$. We find the minimal integer, $L(G),$ such that any convolution…

We study the problem of existence of preduals of locally convex Hausdorff spaces. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a predual with certain properties of a bornological locally convex Hausdorff space $X$.…

For any set S, the free magmatic algebra spanned by card(S) binary products is the vector space spanned by the set of all planar rooted binary trees with the internal nodes colored by the elements of S, graded by the number of leaves of a…

The class of finitely presented algebras over a field $K$ with a set of generators $a_{1},..., a_{n}$ and defined by homogeneous relations of the form $a_{1}a_{2}... a_{n} =a_{\sigma (a)} a_{\sigma (2)} ... a_{\sigma (n)}$, where $\sigma$…

Let $G$ be a complex semisimple algebraic group. In 2006, Belkale-Kumar defined a new product $odot\_0$ on thecohomology group $H^*(G/P,{\mathbb C})$ of any projective $G$-homogeneousspace $G/P$.Their definition uses the notion of…

It is shown that the collection of weakly almost periodic functionals on the convolution algebra of a commutative Hopf von Neumann algebra is a C$^*$-algebra. This implies that the weakly almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure…

A locally compact contraction group is a pair (G,f) where G is a locally compact group and f an automorphism of G which is contractive in the sense that the forward orbit under f of each g in G converges to the neutral element e, as n tends…

We consider a family of Hecke C*-algebras which can be realised as crossed products by semigroups of endomorphisms. We show by dilating representations of the semigroup crossed product that the category of representations of the Hecke…

For a Lie groupoid G over a smooth manifold M we construct the adjoint action of the etale Lie groupoid G# of germs of local bisections of G on the Lie algebroid g of G. With this action, we form the associated convolution…

Let $G \leq \operatorname{SL}_{n+1}(\mathbb{C})$ act on $R = \mathbb{C}[X_1, \ldots, X_{n+1}]$ by change of variables. Then, the skew-group algebra $R \ast G$ is bimodule $(n+1)$-Calabi-Yau. Under certain circumstances, the algebra admits a…

A $\Sigma^*$-algebra is a concrete $C^*$-algebra that is sequentially closed in the weak operator topology. We study an appropriate class of $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras analogous to the class of $W^*$-modules (selfdual…

We prove two theorems about convolution operators on $L^p(G)$ for a locally compact group $G$. First, if $G$ has the approximation property, then the algebra of convoluters is the algebra of pseudo-measures. Second, the bicommutant of the…

We call an algebra $A$ commutator-simple if $[A,A]$ does not contain nonzero ideals of $A$. After providing several examples, we show that in these algebras derivations are determined by a condition that is applicable to the study of local…

Given a noncommutative Hamiltonian space $A$, we prove that the conjecture ``{\it quantization commutes with reduction}'' holds for $A$. We further construct a semidirect product algebra $A \rtimes \mG^A$, and establish a correspondence…

Dynamical conditions that guarantee stability for discrete transformation group $C^*$-algebras are determined. The results are applied to the case of some discrete subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ acting on the plane with the origin removed…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new family of semigroups - the free projection-generated regular $*$-semigroups - and initiate their systematic study. Such a semigroup $PG(P)$ is constructed from a projection algebra $P$, using…

Let L_1 be the predual of a von Neumann algebra with a finite faithful normal trace. We show that a bounded sequence in L_1 converges to 0 in measure if and only if each of its subsequences admits another subsequence which converges to 0 in…
