We prove that the isomorphism relation for separable C$^*$-algebras, and also the relations of complete and $n$-isometry for operator spaces and systems, are Borel reducible to the orbit equivalence relation of a Polish group action on a…

We determine the exact complexity of classifying compact metric spaces up to homeomorphism. More precisely, the homeomorphism relation on compact metric spaces is Borel bi-reducible with the complete orbit equivalence relation of Polish…

The group of automorphisms of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_{2}$ is a Polish group with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence in norm. Our main result is that the relations of conjugacy and cocycle conjugacy of automorphisms of…

We show that if $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$, $\mathcal{O}_2$, $\mathcal{O}_{\infty}$, a UHF algebra of infinite type, or the tensor product of a UHF algebra of infinite type and $\mathcal{O}_{\infty}$, then the conjugation action $\mathrm{Aut}(A)…

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…

We define the categorical cohomology of a k-graph \Lambda\ and show that the first three terms in this cohomology are isomorphic to the corresponding terms in the cohomology defined in our previous paper. This leads to an alternative…

We establish the Borel computability of various C$^*$-algebra invariants, including the Elliott invariant and the Cuntz semigroup. As applications we deduce that AF algebras are classifiable by countable structures, and that a conjecture of…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for separable nuclear C*-algebras is complete in the class of orbit equivalence relations. In fact, already the isomorphism of simple, separable AI C*-algebras is a complete orbit equivalence relation.…

In this paper we study Cuntz--Pimsner algebras associated to $\mathrm{C}^*$-correspondences over commutative $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras from the point of view of the $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra classification programme. We show that when the…

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 study the class of simple C*-algebras introduced by Villadsen in his pioneering work on perforated ordered K-theory. We establish six equivalent characterisations of the proper subclass which satisfies the strong form of Elliott's…

We study C*-algebras associated with subsemigroups of groups. For a large class of such semigroups including positive cones in quasi-lattice ordered groups and left Ore semigroups, we describe the corresponding semigroup C*-algebras as…

We introduce and study the framework of compact metric structures and their associated notions of isomorphisms such as homeomorphic and bi-Lipschitz isomorphism. This is subsequently applied to model various classification problems in…

It is shown that if $A$ and $B$ are unital separable simple nuclear $\mathcal Z$-stable C$^*$-algebras and there is a unital embedding $A \rightarrow B$ which is invertible on $KK$-theory and traces, then $A \cong B$. In particular, two…

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…

We prove that the pure state space is homogeneous under the action of the automorphism group (or a certain smaller group of approximately inner automorphisms) for a fairly large class of simple separable nuclear C*-algebras, including the…

The Calkin algebra is not isomorphic to the corona of the stabilization of the Cuntz algebra~${\mathcal O}_\infty$, any other Kirchberg algebra, or even the corona of the stabilization of any unital, ${\mathcal Z}$-stable ${\mathrm…

The $C^*$-algebra associated with the twisted CCR constructed by W. Pusz and S.L. Woronowicz is considered. It is proved that the $C^*$-algebras corresponding to different values of parameter $0<=\mu<1$ are isomorphic. It is proved that…

Kadison and Kastler introduced a natural metric on the collection of all C*-subalgebras of the bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. They conjectured that sufficiently close algebras are unitarily conjugate. We establish this…

Let A be a separable unital nuclear purely infinite simple C*-algebra satisfying the Universal Coefficient Theorem, and such that the K_0-class of the identity is zero. We prove that every automorphism of order two of the K-theory of A is…
