In this paper, we introduce C*-algebraic partial compact quantum groups, which are quantizations of topological groupoids with discrete object set and compact morphism spaces. These C*-algebraic partial compact quantum groups are…
In this paper we will study the projetivity of various natural modules associated to operator Segal algebras of the Fourier algebra of a locally compact group. In particular, we will focus on the question of identifying when such modules…
We construct compact polyhedra with triangular faces whose links are generalized 3-gons. They are interesting compact spaces covered by Euclidean buildings of type $A_2$. Those spaces give us two-dimensional subshifts, which can be used to…
We develop some tools for manipulating and constructing projections in C*-algebras. These are then applied to give short proofs of some standard projection homotopy results, as well as strengthen some fundamental classical results for…
We begin a program of generalizing basic elements of the theory of comparison, equivalence, and subequivalence, of elements in C*-algebras, to the setting of more general algebras. In particular, we follow the recent lead of Lin, Ortega,…
We prove that a simple, separable, nuclear, purely infinite classifiable $C^*$-algebra is weakly semiprojective if and only if its $K$-groups are direct sums of cyclic groups.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author, since the main result, the existence and uniqueness theorem for host algebras, Theorem 3.4, is wrong for the following reasons. In Definition 3.1 we wanted to generalise the concept of an open…
Based on the projective matrix spaces studied by B. Schwarz and A. Zaks, we study the notion of projective space associated to a C*-algebra A with a fixed projection p. The resulting space P(p) admits a rich geometrical structure as a…
Some results on fixed points related to the contractive compositions of bounded operators in complete metric spaces are discussed through the manuscript. The class of composite operators under study can include, in particular, sequences of…
The C*-envelope of the limit algebra (or limit space) of a contractive regular system of digraph algebras (or digraph spaces) is shown to be an approximately finite C*-algebra and the direct system for the C*-envelope is determined…
The concept of regularity in the meta-topological setting of projections in the double dual of a C*-algebra addresses the interrelations of a projection p with its closure, for instance in the form that such projections act identically, in…
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 make several contributions to our recent program investigating structural properties of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example, we make substantial contributions to the noncommutative peak interpolation program begun by…
Following Elliott's earlier work, we show that the Elliott invariant of any finite separable simple $C^*$-algebra with finite nuclear dimension can always be described as a scaled simple ordered group pairing together with a countable…
We generalize some technical results of Glicksberg to the realm of general operator algebras and use them to give a characterization of open and closed projections in terms of certain multiplier algebras. This generalizes a theorem of J.…
In this paper, we prove approximate lifting results in the C$^{\ast}$-algebra and von Neumann algebra settings. In the C$^{\ast}$-algebra setting, we show that two (weakly) semiprojective unital C*-algebras, each generated by $n$…
We give a unified direct proof of the lifting of PIE limits to the 2-category of algebras and (pseudo) morphisms, which specifies precisely which of the projections of the lifted limit are strict and detect strictness. In the literature,…
We prove closure properties for the class of C*-algebras that are inductive limits of semiprojective C*-algebras. Most importantly, we show that this class is closed under shape domination, and so in particular under shape and homotopy…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of trace-open projections in the second dual A** of a C*-algebra A, and we show that if there is a faithful normal semi-finite trace T on A**, and 1 is a T-open projection, then each 2-local…
An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $n\times n$ complex matrices is said to be \textit{idempotent compressible} if $E\mathcal{A}E$ is an algebra for all idempotents $E\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Analogously, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be…
