It is well known that a measured groupoid G defines a von Neumann algebra W*(G), and that a Lie groupoid G canonically defines both a C*-algebra C*(G) and a Poisson manifold A*(G). We show that the maps G -> W*(G), G -> C*(G) and G -> A*(G)…

Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and two $\mathbb{G}$-$W^*$-algebras $\alpha: A\curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$ and $\beta: B\curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$, we study the notion of equivariant $W^*$-Morita equivalence $(A,…

Any finite algebraic Galois covering corresponds to an algebraic Morita equivalence. Here the $C^*$-algebraic analog of this fact is proven, i.e. any noncommutative finite-fold covering corresponds to a strong Morita equivalence.

We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…

We generalize some basic C*-algebra and von Neumann algebra theory on hereditary C*-subalgebras and projections. In particular, we extend Murray-von Neumann equivalence from projections to *-annihilators and show that several of its…

We give a dynamical characterization of categorical Morita equivalence between compact quantum groups. More precisely, by a Tannaka-Krein type duality, a unital C*-algebra endowed with commuting actions of two compact quantum groups…

A theorem of Muhly-Renault-Williams states that if two locally compact groupoids with Haar system are Morita equivalent, then their associated convolution C*-algebras are strongly Morita equivalent. We give a new proof of this theorem for…

The monoidal version of classical Morita theory is a theory of bialgebroids. To make this explicit we construct a bicategory the objects of which are the bialgebroids and in which equivalence of objects means that the corresponding module…

We prove that two dual operator algebras are weak$^*$ Morita equivalent if and only if they have equivalent categories of dual operator modules via completely contractive functors which are also weak$^*$-continuous on appropriate morphism…

We introduce an axiomatization of the notion of a semidirect product of locally compact quantum groups and study properties. Our approach is slightly different from the one introduced in the thesis of S.~Roy and, unlike the investigations…

Let G be a (not necessarily Hausdorff) locally compact groupoid. We introduce a notion of properness for G, which is invariant under Morita-equivalence. We show that any generalized morphism between two locally compact groupoids which…

The approach we present is a modification of the Morse theory for unital C*-algebras. We provide tools for the geometric interpretation of noncommutative CW complexes. These objects were introduced and studied in [2],[7] and [14]. Some…

We use the technology of linking groupoids to show that equivalent groupoids have Morita equivalent reduced C*-algebras. This equivalence is compatible in a natural way in with the Equivalence Theorem for full groupoid C*-algebras.

We propose a new definition of quantum metric spaces, or W*-metric spaces, in the setting of von Neumann algebras. Our definition effectively reduces to the classical notion in the atomic abelian case, has both concrete and intrinsic…

Let X be a product system over a quasi-lattice ordered group. Under mild hypotheses, we associate to X a C*-algebra which is co-universal for injective Nica covariant Toeplitz representations of X which preserve the gauge coaction. Under…

Rings form a bicategory [Rings], with classes of bimodules as horizontal arrows, and bimodule maps as vertical arrows. The notion of Morita equivalence for rings can be translated in terms of bicategories in the following way. Two rings are…

We recast the Galois cohomology of the variety $V$ over a number field $k$ in terms of the K-theory of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}_V$ connected to $V$. It is proved that $V$ is isomorphic to $V'$ over $k$ (algebraic closure of $k$, resp.)…

We study superpotential algebras by introducing the notion of quantum-symmetric equivalence defined relatively to two fixed Hopf coactions. This concept relies on the non-vanishing of a bi-Galois object for the two coacting Hopf algebras,…

In the current paper, we generalize the "compact operator" part of the Voiculescu's non-commutative Weyl-von Neumann theorem on approximate equivalence of unital $*$-homomorphisms of an commutative C$^*$ algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into a…

The subject of this thesis is Galois correspondence for von Neumann algebras and its interplay with non-commutative probability theory. After a brief introduction to representation theory for compact groups, in particular to Peter-Weyl…
