For 0 < s < 1, let phi_s(z)=sz+(1-s). We investigate the unital C*-algebra generated by the semigroup {C_{phi_s} : 0 < s < 1} of composition operators acting on the Hardy space of the unit disk. We determine the joint approximate point…

We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…

In the paper, we give two new characterizations of separable inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras. Base on these characterizations, we show that a unital full free product of two inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras is inner quasidiagonal again. As…

A collection of partial isometries whose range and initial projections satisfy a specified set of conditions often gives rise to a partial representation of a group. The C*-algebra generated by the partial isometries is thus a quotient of…

Using Cuntz semigroup techniques, we characterize when limit traces are dense in the space of all traces on a free ultrapower of a C*-algebra. More generally, we consider density of limit quasitraces on ultraproducts of C*-algebras. Quite…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup is a complete invariant for the C*-algebras that can be realized as an inductive limit of a sequence of finite direct sums of splitting interval algebras.

We define equivariant semiprojectivity for C*-algebras equipped with actions of compact groups. We prove that the following examples are equivariantly semiprojective: arbitrary finite dimensional C*-algebras with arbitrary actions of…

Order unit property of a positive element in a $C^{*}$-algebra is defined. It is proved that precisely projections satisfy this order theoretic property. This way, unital hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebras of a $C^{*}$-algebra are…

In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…

Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$, $n>1$, are celebrated examples of a separable infinite simple C*-algebra with a number of fascinating properties. Their K-theory allows an embedding of $\mathcal O_m$ in $\mathcal O_n$ whenever $n-1$ divides…

We study selflessness in the general setting of reduced free products of $C^*$-algebras. Towards this end, we develop a suitable theory of rapid decay for filtrations in arbitrary $C^*$-probability spaces. We provide several natural…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…
