C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…

We exhibit a countably infinite family of simple, separable, nuclear, and mutually non-isomorphic C*-algebras which agree on K-theory and traces. The algebras do not absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially, answering a question of N. C.…

In this paper we consider near inclusions $A\subseteq_\gamma B$ of C$^*$-algebras. We show that if $B$ is a separable type I C*-algebra and $A$ satisfies Kadison's similarity problem, then $A$ is also type I and use this to obtain an…

We show that, if A is a separable simple unital C*-algebra which absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially and which has real rank zero and finite decomposition rank, then A is tracially AF in the sense of Lin, without any restriction on…

Let $X$ be an infinite compact metrizable space, and let $\sigma: X\to X$ be a minimal homeomorphism. Suppose that $(X, \sigma)$ has zero mean topological dimension. The associated C*-algebra $A=\mathrm{C}(X)\rtimes_\sigma\mathbb Z$ is…

We consider a certain class of unital simple stably finite C^*-algebras which absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. Under a mild assumption, we show that the crossed product of a C^*-algebra in this class by a strongly outer action of…

Let X be a path connected, compact metric space and let A be a unital separable simple nuclear Z-stable real rank zero C*-algebra. We classify all the unital *-embeddings (up to approximate unitary equivalence) of C(X) into A. Specifically,…

Let A be an approximately subhomogeneous (ASH) C*-algebra with slow dimension growth. We prove that if A is unital and simple, then the Cuntz semigroup of A agrees with that of its tensor product with the Jiang-Su algebra Z. In tandem with…

For unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we completely characterize the isometric ($*$-) automorphisms of their Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes^\gamma B$. This leads to the characterization of inner and outer isometric…

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…

Let $A$ be an algebraically simple, separable, nuclear, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebra for which the trace space $T(A)$ is a Bauer simplex and the extremal boundary $\partial_e T(A)$ has finite covering dimension. We prove that each…

We show that the Fra\"iss\'e limit of a category of unital separable $C^*$-algebras which is sufficiently closed under tensor products of its objects and morphisms is strongly self-absorbing, given that it has approximate inner half-flip.…

We study a tracial notion of Z-absorption for simple, unital C*-algebras. We show that if A is a C*-algebra for which this property holds then A has almost unperforated Cuntz semigroup, and if in addition A is nuclear and separable we show…

We exhibit examples of simple separable nuclear C*-algebras, along with actions of the circle group and outer actions of the integers, which are not equivariantly isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In fact, the fixed point subalgebras…

In this note we state a conjecture that characterizes unital C*-algebras for which the unitary group is amenable as a topological group in the norm topology. We prove the conjecture for simple, separable, stably finite, unital, $\mathcal…

Multiplicative Unitaries are described in terms of a pair of commuting shifts of relative depth two. They can be generated from ambidextrous Hilbert spaces in a tensor C*-category. The algebraic analogue of the Takesaki-Tatsuuma Duality…

We classify unital monomorphisms into certain simple Z-stable C^*-algebras up to approximate unitary equivalence. The domain algebra C is allowed to be any unital separable commutative C^*-algebra, or any unital simple separable nuclear…

Let C be a separable unital C*-algebra, not isomorphic to the complex numbers, equipped with a faithful tracial state. Let A be a unital direct limit of one dimensional NCCW complexes, also equipped with a faithful tracial state. Suppose…

We construct an endomorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ which does not admit a conditional expectation. This answers a question in the testamentary homework by E. Kirchberg. As an application, it is shown that any unital…

Let ${\cal A}_1$ be the class of all unital separable simple $C^*$-algebras $A$ such that $A\otimes U$ has tracial rank at most one for all UHF-algebras of infinite type. It has been shown that amenable ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras in…
