Let $A$ be a (not necessarily unital) separable non-elementary simple amenable C*-algebra whose tracial basis may not have finite covering dimension and may not be compact but satisfies certain condition (C). We show that $A$ is ${\cal…

Given a minimal action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group $G$ on a compact space $X$, we prove that if the reduced crossed product $G\ltimes_rC(X)$ is simple, then there exists a point whose stabilizer subgroup has trivial amenable…

We study uniform perturbations of crossed product C$^*$-algebras by amenable groups. Given a unital inclusion of C$^*$-algebras $C\subseteq D$ and sufficiently close separable intermediate C$^*$-subalgebras $A$, $B$ for this inclusion with…

We study a tracial notion of Z-absorption for simple, unital C*-algebras. We show that if A is a C*-algebra for which this property holds then A has almost unperforated Cuntz semigroup, and if in addition A is nuclear and separable we show…

Examples of simple, separable, unital, purely infinite $C^*$--algebras are constructed, including: (1) some that are not approximately divisible; (2) those that arise as crossed products of any of a certain class of $C^*$--algebras by any…

We consider reduced crossed products of twisted C*-dynamical systems over C*-simple groups. We prove there is a bijective correspondence between maximal ideals of the reduced crossed product and maximal invariant ideals of the underlying…

We show that if $G$ is a second countable locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid carrying a suitable cocycle $c:G\to\mathbb{Z}$, then the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ can be realised naturally as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a…

We characterize $C^*$-simplicity for countable groups by means of the following dichotomy. If a group is $C^*$-simple, then the action on the Poisson boundary is essentially free for a generic measure on the group. If a group is not…

Given a closed ideal $I$ in a C*-algebra $A$, we show that $A$ is pure if and only if $I$ and $A/I$ are pure. More generally, we study permanence of comparison and divisibility properties when passing to extensions. As an application we…

We study the range of a classifiable class ${\cal A}$ of unital separable simple amenable $C^*$-algebras which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. The class ${\cal A}$ contains all unital simple AH-algebras. We show that all unital…

We associate reduced and full C*-algebras to arbitrary rings and study the inner structure of these ring C*-algebras. As a result, we obtain conditions for them to be purely infinite and simple. We also discuss several examples.…

For any second countable locally compact group G, we construct a simple G-C*-algebra whose full and reduced crossed product norms coincide. We then construct its G-equivariant representation on another simple G-C*-algebra without the…

Motivated by a question of L. Robert, asking whether $\rm L(T(A)) = Lsc_{C}(T(A))$ for any separable C*-algebra A, we introduce and initiate the study of \emph{tracially reflexive C*-algebras}. We first prove that commutative C*-algebras…

We develop a framework suitable for obtaining simplicity criteria for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff etale groupoids. This is based on the study of certain non-degenerate $C^*$-subalgebras (in the case of groupoids, the $C^*$-algebra…

Many previously studied path algebras or self-similar group algebras may be viewed as Steinberg algebras of self-similar groupoids. By way of inverse semigroup algebras, we characterize when the Steinberg algebra of a self-similar groupoid…

We find a necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity and uniqueness of trace for reduced free products of finite families of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with specified traces on them.

Let (G,S) be a finitely generated Coxeter group, such that the Coxeter system is indecomposable and the canonical bilinear form is indefinite but non-degenerate. We show that the reduced C-*-algebra of G is simple with unique normalised…

Suppose that A is a C*-algebra for which A is isomorphic to A tensor Z, where Z is the Jiang-Su algebra: a unital, simple, stably finite, separable, nuclear, infinite dimensional C*-algebra with the same Elliott invariant as the complex…

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

We show that a simple separable unital nuclear nonelementary $C^*$-algebra whose tracial state space has a compact extreme boundary with finite covering dimension admits uniformly tracially large order zero maps from matrix algebras into…
