Suzuki recently gave constructions of non-discrete examples of locally compact C*-simple groups and Raum showed C*-simplicity of the relative profinite completions of the Baumslag-Solitar groups by using Suzuki's results. We extend this…

For a compact Lie group G we show that if the representing spectrum for Borel cohomology generates its category of modules if G is connected. For a closed subgroup H of G we consider the map C^*(BG)--->C^*(BH) and establish the sense in…

In the $C^*$-algebraic setting the spectrum of any group-like element of a compact quantum group is shown to be a closed subgroup of the one-dimensional torus. A number of consequences of this fact are then illustrated, along with a loose…

An elementary proof is given for the fact that every locally compact subsemigroup of a compact topological group is a closed subgroup. A sample consequence is that every commutative cancellative pseudocompact locally compact Hausdorff…

We introduce a notion of ellipticity of complexes of linear pseudodifferential operators acting on sections of $A$-Hilbert bundles over smooth manifolds, $A$ being a $C^*$-algebra. We prove that the cohomology groups of an $A$-elliptic…

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 Herzog-Sch\"onheim conjecture states that if $H_1, \ldots, H_k$ are subgroups of a group $G$ and $x_1, \ldots, x_k$ are elements of $G$ such that $H_1x_1, \ldots, H_kx_k$ is a partition of $G$ into cosets, then two of these subgroups…

In this paper, we collect some technical results about weights on C*-algebras which are useful in de theory of locally compact quantum groups in the C*-algebra framework. We discuss the extension of a lower semi-continuous weight to a…

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.…

For an extension $1\rightarrow N \rightarrow \Gamma \xrightarrow{q} \Gamma / N \rightarrow 1$ of discrete countable groups, it is known that the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients holds for $\Gamma$ if it holds for $\Gamma / N$ and…

The classical Cuntz semigroup has an important role in the study of C*-algebras, being one of the main invariants used to classify recalcitrant C*-algebras up to isomorphism. We consider C*-algebras that have Hopf algebra structure, and…

We give the beginnings of the development of a theory of what we call "R-coactions" of a locally compact group on a $C^*$-algebra. These are the coactions taking values in the maximal tensor product, as originally proposed by Raeburn. We…

We investigate approximation properties for $C^*$-algebras and their crossed products by actions and coactions by locally compact groups. We show that Haagerup's approximation constant is preserved for crossed products by arbitrary amenable…

We introduce a classification of locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces with respect to the behavior of $\sigma$-compact subsets, and relying on this classification we study properties of corresponding $C^*$-algebras in terms of frame…

For a long time, practitioners of the art of operator algebras always worked over the complex numbers, and nobody paid much attention to real C*-algebras. Over the last thirty years, that situation has changed, and it's become apparent that…

Singular actions on C*-algebras are automorphic group actions on C*-algebras, where the group need not be locally compact, or the action need not be strongly continuous. We study the covariant representation theory of such actions. In the…

Convolution semigroups of states on a quantum group form the natural noncommutative analogue of convolution semigroups of probability measures on a locally compact group. Here we initiate a theory of weakly continuous convolution semigroups…

Let $H$ be the C*-algebra of a non-trivial compact quantum group acting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$. It was recently conjectured that there does not exist an equivariant $*$-homomorphism from $A$ (type-I case) or $H$ (type-II case) to…

We compute the C*-algebra generated by a group of composition operators acting on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the disk, where the symbols belong to a non-elementary Fuchsian group. We show that such a C*-algebra contains…

C*-algebras form a 2-category with \Star{}homomorphisms or correspondences as morphisms and unitary intertwiners as 2-morphisms. We use this structure to define weak actions of 2-categories, weakly equivariant maps between weak actions, and…
