We study C*-algebras generated by two partitions of unity subject to orthogonality relations governed by a bipartite graph which we also call "bipartite graph C*-algebras". These algebras generalize at the same time the C*-algebra…
We prove that the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\Gamma,\partial\Gamma)$ of a free group $\Gamma$ with its boundary $\partial\Gamma$ naturally sits between the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r\Gamma$ and its injective envelope…
We investigate relations on elements in C*-algebras, including *-polynomial relations, order relations and all relations that correspond to universal C*-algebras. We call these C*-relations and define them axiomatically. Within these are…
We study some reduced free products of C*-algebras with amalgamations. We give sufficient conditions for the positive cone of the K_0 group to be the largest possible. We also give sufficient conditions for simplicity and uniqueness of…
In this paper we show how to produce a large number of representations of a graph C*-algebra in the space of the bounded linear operators in $L^2(X,\mu)$. These representations are very concrete and, in the case of graphs that satisfy…
Bundles of C*-algebras can be used to represent limits of physical theories whose algebraic structure depends on the value of a parameter. The primary example is the $\hbar\to 0$ limit of the C*-algebras of physical quantities in quantum…
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…
We construct a generalized version for the free product of unital C*-algebras over a family of unital C*-subalgebras, starting from the group-analogue. When all the subalgebras are the same, we recover the free product with amalgamation…
We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…
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…
Let \( m, n \in \mathbb{N}_0 \), and let \( X \) be a closed subset of \( \mathbb{T}^{\binom{m+n}{2}} \). We define \( C^{m,n}_X \) to be the universal \( C^* \)-algebra among those generated by \( m \) unitaries and \( n \) isometries…
To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of…
Let \alpha:G --> G be an endomorphism of a discrete amenable group such that [G:\alpha(G)]<infinity. We study the structure of the C^* algebra generated by the left convolution operators acting on the left regular representation space,…
In this paper we generalize the notion of a $k$-graph into (countable) infinite rank. We then define our $C^*$-algebra in a similar way as in $k$-graph $C^*$-algebras. With this construction we are able to find analogues to the Gauge…
We give precise conditions under which irreducible representations associated to stability groups induce to irreducible representations for Fell bundle C*-algebras. This result generalizes an earlier result of Echterhoff and the second…
We prove that the unitary equivalence classes of extensions of C*_r(G) by any sigma-unital stable C"-algebra, taken modulo extensions which split via an asymptotic homomorphism, form a group which can be calculated from the universal…
We prove that for every $n\geq 2$, the reduced group $C^*$-algebras of the countable free groups $C^*_r(\mathbb{F}_n)$ have strict comparison. Our method works in a general setting: for $G$ in a large family of non-amenable groups,…
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…
For $C^*$-algebra generated by a finite family of isometries $s_j$, $j=1,\dots,d$ satisfying $q_{ij}$-commutation relations \[ s_j^* s_j = I, \quad s_j^* s_k = q_{ij}s_ks_j^*, \qquad q_{ij} = \bar q_{ji}, |q_{ij}|<1, \ 1\le i \ne j \le d,…
In the theory of C*-algebras, interesting noncommutative structures arise as deformations of the tensor product. For instance, the rotation algebra may be seen as a scalar twist deformation of the tensor product of the functions on the…
