A tiling with infinite rotational symmetry, such as the Conway-Radin Pinwheel Tiling, gives rise to a topological dynamical system to which an \'etale equivalence relation is associated. A groupoid C*-algebra for a tiling is produced and a…

Let $\Lambda = \mathbb{Z}^n$ with lexicographic ordering. $\Lambda$ is a totally ordered group. Let $X = \Lambda^+ * \Lambda^+$. Then $X$ is a $\Lambda$-tree. Analogous to the construction of graph $C^*$-algebras, we form a groupoid whose…

We review several techniques that twist an algebra's multiplicative structure. We first consider twists by an automorphism, also known as Zhang twists, and we relate them to 2-cocycle twists of certain bialgebras. We then outline the…

Motivated by Exel's inverse semigroup approach to combinatorial C*-algebras, in a previous work the authors defined an inverse semigroup associated with a labelled space. We construct a representation of the C*-algebra of a labelled space,…

To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of…

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 construct several new classes of bifunctors $(A,B)\mapsto A\otimes_{\alpha} B$, where $A\otimes_\alpha B$ is a cross norm completion of $A\odot B$ for each pair of C*-algebras $A$ and $B$. For the first class of bifunctors considered…

Let $G=K\ltimes A$ be the semi-direct product group of a compact group $K$ acting on an abelian locally compact group $A$. We describe the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G)$ of $G$ in terms of an algebra of operator fields defined over the spectrum of…

Enveloping $C^*$-algebras for some finitely generated $*$-algebras are considered. It is shown that all of the considered algebras are identically defined by their dual spaces. The description in terms of matrix-functions is given. Keywords…

Given two C*-algebras A and B, abstract A-B bimodules that can be isometrically represented as operator bimodules are characterised in terms of their norm. Various properties of such bimodules are given. Their theory is very similar to…

We interpret several constructions with C*-algebras as colimits in the bicategory of correspondences. This includes crossed products for actions of groups and crossed modules, Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of proper product systems, direct sums…

We calculate the Cuntz semigroup of the tensor product A with A. We restrict our attention to C*-algebras A which are unital, simple, nuclear, stably finite, have stable rank one, absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and satisfy 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…

Given a semigroup of local homeomorphisms on a compact space X we consider the corresponding semigroup of *-endomorphisms on C(X) and discuss the possibility of extending it to an interaction group, a concept recently introduced by the…

We relate commutative algebras in braided tensor categories to braid-reversed tensor equivalences, motivated by vertex algebra representation theory. First, for $\mathcal{C}$ a braided tensor category, we give a detailed construction of the…

We extend the theory of tensor products of C*-algebras to the larger category of Fell bundles over locally compact groups. We prove that, like in the case of C*-algebras, there exist maximal and minimal tensor products. Given two Fell…

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

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…

We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators…

Different (fibrewise) amalgamated products of continuous C*-bundles have been studied over the last years, one of the main question being to know when these amalgamated products are continuous C*-bundles. In order to gather these approaches…
