We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…

Using a ``3 by 3 matrix trick'' we previously showed that multiplication in a C*-algebra A, an algebraic structure, is determined by the geometry of the C*-algebra of the 3 by 3 matrices with entries from A. As an application of this…

Kaplansky introduced the notions of CCR and GCR $C^*$-algebras because they have a tractable representation theory. Many years later, he introduced the notions of CCR and GCR rings. In this paper we characterize when the algebra of an ample…

We consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show how these eigenvalues accumulate near…

We study the congeniality property of algebras, as defined by Bao, He, and Zhang, in order to establish a version of Auslander's theorem for various families of filtered algebras. It is shown that the property is preserved under homomorphic…

We show that the following properties of unital ${\rm C^*}$-algebra in a class of $\Omega$ are preserved by unital simple ${\rm C^*}$-algebra in the class of $\rm WTA\Omega$: $(1)$ uniform property $\Gamma$, $(2)$ a certain type of tracial…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian topological group. For locally bounded measurable functions $\varphi: G\to\Bbb {C}$ we discuss notions of spectra for $\varphi$ relative to subalgebras of $L^{1}(G)$. In particular we study polynomials…

In this paper, we study weak bialgebras and weak Hopf algebras. These algebras form a class wider than bialgebras respectively Hopf algebras. The main results of this paper are Kaplansky's constructions type which lead to weak bialgebras or…

We discuss basic topological properties of unitary dual spaces of nilpotent Lie groups, using some ideas from operator algebras and their noncommutative dimension theory. The general results are illustrated by many examples.

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 prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…

We unify the Kumjian-Renault Weyl groupoid construction with the Lawson-Lenz version of Exel's tight groupoid construction. We do this by utilising only a weak algebraic fragment of the C*-algebra structure, namely its *-semigroup reduct.…

A construction of reversible extensions of dynamical systems which applies to arbitrary mappings (not necessarily with open range) is presented. It is based on calculating the maximal ideal space of C*-algebras that extends endomorphisms to…

A class of $C^*$-algebras, to be called those of generalized tracial rank one, is introduced, and classified by the Elliott invariant. A second class of unital simple separable amenable $C^*$-algebras, those whose tensor products with…

We show that the method to construct C^*-algebras from topological graphs, introduced in our previous paper, generalizes many known constructions. We give many ways to make new topological graphs from old ones, and study the relation of…

In this paper we introduce Hausdorff locally convex algebra topologies on subalgebras of the whole algebra of nonlinear generalized functions. These topologies are strong duals of Fr\'echet-Schwartz space topologies and even strong duals of…

Let $\Omega$ be a class of unital $\rm C^{*}$-algebras. The class of ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which are asymptotical tracially in $\Omega$, denoted by ${\rm AT}\Omega$. In this paper, we will show that the following class of ${\rm…

The Weyl algebra,- the usual C*-algebra employed to model the canonical commutation relations (CCRs), has a well-known defect in that it has a large number of representations which are not regular and these cannot model physical fields.…

Let $C_b(X)$ be the C*-algebra of bounded continuous functions on some non-compact, but locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. Moreover, let $A_0$ be some ideal and $A_1$ be some unital C*-subalgebra of $C_b(X)$. For $A_0$ and $A_1$ having…

In this thesis we explore the the possibility of characterising C* algebras by their (non-isometric) Banach algebra structure alone. We introduce a property of Banach algebras, the Total Reduction Property, and conjecture that a Banach…
