Quantization relates Poisson algebras to $C^*$-algebras. The analysis of local gauge symmetries in algebraic quantum field theory is approached through the quantization of classical gauge theories, regarded as constrained dynamical systems.…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

We show that a C*-algebra generated by an irreducible representation of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group satisfies the universal coefficient theorem and has real rank 0. This combines with previous joint work with Gillaspy and…

We will investigate the norm closure of the unitary and similarity orbits of normal operators in unital, simple, purely infinite C*-algebras. An operator theoretic proof will be given to the classification of when two normal operators are…

Let $\G$ be a locally compact group satisfying some technical requirements and $\wG$ its unitary dual. Using the theory of twisted crossed product $C^*$-algebras, we develop a twisted global quantization for symbols defined on $\G\times\wG$…

Let ${\mathcal H}_1$ be a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space. Let $\psi\mapsto Z(\psi)$ be a canonical anti-commutation relations (CAR) field over ${\mathcal H}_1$ acting irreducibly on a Hilbert space ${\mathord{\mathscr K}}$. The…

We continue our study of the concepts of amenability and co-amenability for algebraic quantum groups in the sense of A. Van Daele and our investigation of their relationship with nuclearity and injectivity. One major tool for our analysis…

This thesis consists of two parts, both situated in operator theory, and both motivated by the quest for rigorous quantizations of gauge theories. The first part is based on [Skripka,vN - JST 2022], [van Suijlekom,vN - JNCG 2021], and [van…

The perturbation semigroup was first defined in the case of $*$-algebras by Chamseddine, Connes and van Suijlekom. In this paper, we take $\mathcal{E}$ as a concrete operator system with unit. We first give a definition of gauge group…

A formulation of quantum mechanics based on replacing the general unitary group by finite groups is considered. To solve problems arising in the context of this formulation, we use computer algebra and computational group theory methods.

We generalize the Fej\'er-Riesz operator systems defined for the circle group by Connes and van Suijlekom to the setting of compact matrix quantum groups and their ergodic actions on C*-algebras. These truncations form filtrations of the…

In this paper, we construct a supersymmetric composite axion (c-axion) model based on the gauge group $SU(N)\times SU(M)$, which is one possible physical application of the N=1 duality. The dual of SU(M) is interpreted as the color gauge…

Quantitative algebras are $\Sigma$-algebras acting on metric spaces, where operations are nonexpanding. Mardare, Panangaden and Plotkin introduced 1-basic varieties as categories of quantitative algebras presented by quantitative equations.…

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…

We study gauge theories and quantum gravity in a finite interval of time $\tau $, on a compact space manifold $\Omega $. The initial, final and boundary conditions are formulated in gauge invariant and general covariant ways by means of…

Topological quivers generalize the notion of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact (second countable) Hausdorff spaces. Associated to a topological quiver $Q$ is a $C^*$-correspondence, and in turn, a…

Let $G$ be a semi-simple real Lie group of real rank one and $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup in $G$ such that $\Gamma \backslash G$ has finite volume. We introduce a new group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(G, \Gamma)$, which provides a natural…

In this paper, following [1], we develop the theory of global pseudo-differential operators defined on the quantum group $SU_q(2)$, and provide some spectral results concerning these operators. We define a graduation for this algebra of…

Given an action of a Compact Quantum Group (CQG) on a finite dimensional Hilbert space, we can construct an action on the associated Cuntz algebra. We study the fixed point algebra of this action, using Kirchberg classification results.…

We show that abstract Cuntz semigroups form a closed symmetric monoidal category. Thus, given Cuntz semigroups $S$ and $T$, there is another Cuntz semigroup $[[S,T]]$ playing the role of morphisms from $S$ to $T$. Applied to C$^*$-algebras…
