Let $X$ be compact Hausdorff, and $\phi: X \to X$ a continuous surjection. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the semicrossed product algebra corresponding to the relation $fU = Uf\circ \phi$. Then the C$^*$-envelope of $\mathcal{A}$ is the crossed…

We consider the $C^*$-algebra generated by finitely many annihilation operators acting on the weakly monotone Fock space, and we call it weakly monotone $C^*$-algebra. We give an abstract representation for this algebra, showing that it is…

I introduce yet another way to associate a C*-algebra to a graph and construct a simple nuclear C*-algebra that has irreducible representations both on a separable and a nonseparable Hilbert space.

In this paper, we begin with the study of elements in $C^*$-algebras which are mapped to Schatten class ideals through faithful left regular representation. We further give some functorial properties of Schatten classes on the category of…

We study the elementary C*-algebra whose elements are the sum of a diagonal plus a compact operator. We describe the structure of the unitary group, the sets of ideals, automorhisms and projections.

This is an example on the cohomology of threefolds.

Quasifolds are singular spaces that generalize manifolds and orbifolds. They are locally modeled by manifolds modulo the smooth action of countable groups and they are typically not Hausdorff. If the countable groups happen to be all…

In recent times a new kind of representations has been used to describe superselection sectors of the observable net over a curved spacetime, taking into account of the effects of the fundamental group of the spacetime. Using this notion of…

Isoparametric submanifolds and hypersurfaces in space forms are geometric objects that have been studied since E. Cartan. Another important class of geometric objects is the orbits of a polar action on a Riemannian manifold,e.g., the orbits…

We make a case for the unique relevance of Cartan geometry for gauge theories of gravity and supergravity. We introduce our discussion by recapitulating historical threads, providing motivations. In a first part we review the geometry of…

We investigate the structure of the outer automorphism group of the Cuntz algebra and the closely related problem of conjugacy of MASAa in O_n. In particular, we exhibit an uncountable family of MASAs, conjugate to the standard MASA D_n via…

We consider commuting squares of finite dimensional von Neumann algebras having the algebra of complex numbers in the lower left corner. Examples include the vertex models, the spin models (in the sense of subfactor theory) and the…

We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…

We extend the notion of (branched) holomorphic Cartan geometry on a complex manifold to the context of Sasakian manifolds. Branched holomorphic Cartan geometries on Sasakian Calabi-Yau manifolds are investigated.

A result of Akemann, Anderson, and Pedersen states that if a sequence of pure states of a C*-algebra A approaches infinity in a certain sense, then there is a MASA B such that each of the states has the unique extension property with…

This article presents a proof of the Feldman-Moore theorem on Cartan subalgebras in W*-algebras based on the non-commutative Stone equivalence between Boolean inverse semigroups and Boolean groupoids. The proof is decomposed into two parts.…

We describe the envelope C*-algebra associated to a partial action of a countable discrete group on a locally compact space as a groupoid C*-algebra (more precisely as a C*-algebra from an equivalence relation) and we use our approach to…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space and let $\gamma = (\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_n)$ be a system of proper contractions on $K$. We study a C*-algebra $\mathcal{MC}_{\gamma_1, \dots, \gamma_n}$ generated by all multiplication operators by…

We study the saturation properties of several classes of $C^*$-algebras. Saturation has been shown by Farah and Hart to unify the proofs of several properties of coronas of $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebras; we extend their results by showing…

Examples of operator algebras with involution include the operator $*$-algebras occurring in noncommutative differential geometry studied recently by Mesland, Kaad, Lesch, and others, several classical function algebras, triangular matrix…
