One introduces the notion of C*-algebra with polarization which could be considered as the quantum Kahler structure. The connection of these algebras with Kostant-Souriou geometric quantization is shown. The theory of polarized C*-algebra…
We prove stability theorems in the Cuntz semigroup of a commutative C*-algebra which are analogues of classical stability theorems for topological vector bundles over compact Hausdorff spaces. Several applications to simple unital AH…
We give an example of an exact, stably finite, simple. separable C*-algebra D which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Moreover, D has the following additional properties. It is stably finite, approximately divisible, has real rank…
We show that if A is a simple Villadsen algebra of either the first type with seed space a finite dimensional CW complex, or of the second type, then $A$ absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially if and only if the central sequence algebra…
We prove that a unital simple approximately homogeneous (AH) C*-algebra with no dimension growth absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially without appealing to the classification theory of these algebras. Our main result continues to hold…
This is a survey on factorization theory. We discuss finitely generated monoids (including affine monoids), primary monoids (including numerical monoids), power sets with set addition, Krull monoids and their various generalizations, and…
We extend the classical Feferman-Vaught theorem to logic for metric structures. This implies that the reduced powers of elementarily equivalent structures are elementarily equivalent, and therefore they are isomorphic under the Continuum…
It is well-known that the maximalization of a coaction of a locally compact group on a C*-algebra enjoys a universal property. We show how this important property can be deduced from a categorical framework by exploiting certain properties…
We construct a unital pre-C*-algebra $A_0$ which is stably finite, in the sense that every left invertible square matrix over $A_0$ is right invertible, while the C*-completion of $A_0$ contains a non-unitary isometry, and so it is…
We prove that an amalgamated free product of separable commutative C*-algebras is residually finite-dimensional.
We consider inductive systems of C*-algebras with completely positive contractive connecting maps. We define a condition, called C*-encoding, which is sufficient for the limit of the system to be completely order isomorphic to a C*-algebra…
Kadison and Kastler introduced a natural metric on the collection of all C*-subalgebras of the bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. They conjectured that sufficiently close algebras are unitarily conjugate. We establish this…
We classify all essential extensions of the form $$0 \rightarrow \W \rightarrow \D \rightarrow A \rightarrow 0$$ where $\W$ is the unique separable simple C*-algebra with a unique tracial state, with finite nuclear dimension and with…
We show that the commutator subgroup of the group of unitaries connected to the identity in a simple unital C*-algebra is simple modulo its center. We then go on to investigate the role of regularity properties in the structure of the…
Let ${\cal Z}$ be the Jiang-Su algebra and ${\cal K}$ the C*-algebra of compact operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. We prove that the corona algebra $M({\cal Z}\otimes {\cal K})/{\cal Z}\otimes {\cal K}$ has real…
We study the extent of countable saturation for coronas of abelian C*-algebras. In particular, we show that the corona algebra of $C_0(\bbR^n)$ is countably saturated if and only if $n=1$.
We initiate the study of compact group actions on C*-algebras from the perspective of model theory, and present several applications to C*-dynamics. Firstly, we prove that the continuous part of the central sequence algebra of a strongly…
In this paper, we give two properties of C*-algebra that could be deduced from the properties of its large subalgebra. Let A be an infinite dimensional simple unital C*-algebra and let B be a centrally large subalgebra of A, we prove that A…
In this paper, we will define the reduced cross-sectional $C^*$-algebras of $C^*$-algebraic bundles over locally compact groups and show that if a $C^*$-algebraic bundle has the approximation property (defined similarly as in the discrete…
We prove several rigidity results for corona $C^*$-algebras and \v{C}ech-Stone remainders under the assumption of Forcing Axioms. In particular, we prove that a strong version of Todor\v{c}evi\'c's $\OCA$ and Martin's Axiom at level…
