We prove that unital graph C*-algebras often admit a convenient decomposition into amalgamated free products. We use this to give a complete characterization of when a unital graph C*-algebra is residually finite-dimensional and when it is…

Given an infinite, compact, monothetic group $G$ we study decompositions and structure of unbounded derivations in a crossed product C$^*$-algebra $C(G)\rtimes\Z$ obtained from a translation on $G$ by a generator of a dense cyclic subgroup.…

We describe a construction by G\'abor Elek, associating C*-algebras with uniformly recurrent subgroups, in the language of groupoid C*-algebras. This allows us to simplify several proofs in the original paper and fully characterise their…

We describe a class of $C^*$-algebras which simultaneously generalise the ultragraph algebras of Tomforde and the shift space $C^*$-algebras of Matsumoto. In doing so we shed some new light on the different $C^*$-algebras that may be…

In this paper, we give a purely cohomological interpretation of the extension problem for associative algebras; that is the problem of extending an associative algebra by another associative algebra. We then give a similar interpretation of…

Inspired by the work of Paterson on $C^{\ast}$-algebras of directed graphs, we show how to associate a groupoid $\mathfrak{G}_{\mathcal{G}}$ to an ultragraph $\mathcal{G}$ in such a way that the $C^*$-algebra of $\mathfrak{G}_{\mathcal{G}}$…

Given a locally compact abelian group $G$, we give an explicit formula for the Dixmier--Douady invariant of the $C^*$-algebra of the groupoid extension associated to a \v{C}ech $2$-cocycle in the sheaf of germs of continuous $G$-valued…

In this paper we show that the universal C*-algebra satisfying the Cuntz-Li relations is generated by an inverse semigroup of partial isometries. We apply Exel's theory of tight representations to this inverse semigroup. We identify the…

The universal C*-algebra generated by n projections has been described. As an immediate corollary one obtains structure theorem for a pair of projections and the solution to an associated index problem. This puts the study of a pair of…

We show the reduced $C^*$-algebra of a graded ample groupoid is a strongly graded $C^*$-algebra if and only if the corresponding Steinberg algebra is a strongly graded ring. We apply this result to get a theorem about the Leavitt path…

The construction of the C*-algebra associated to a directed graph $E$ is extended to incorporate a family $C$ consisting of partitions of the sets of edges emanating from the vertices of $E$. These C*-algebras $C^*(E,C)$ are analyzed in…

We show that if $G$ is a second countable locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid carrying a suitable cocycle $c:G\to\mathbb{Z}$, then the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ can be realised naturally as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a…

We study the elementary C*-algebra whose elements are the sum of a diagonal plus a compact operator. We describe the structure of the unitary group, the sets of ideals, automorhisms and projections.

We associate reduced and full C*-algebras to arbitrary rings and study the inner structure of these ring C*-algebras. As a result, we obtain conditions for them to be purely infinite and simple. We also discuss several examples.…

This paper investigates the $\mathrm{K}$-theory of twisted groupoid $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. It is shown that a homotopy of twists on an ample groupoid satisfying the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients gives rise to an isomorphism…

We develop a theory of type semigroups for arbitrary twisted, not necessarily Hausdorff \'etale groupoids. The type semigroup is a dynamical version of the Cuntz semigroup. We relate it to traces, ideals, pure infiniteness, and stable…
