We show that the following operator algebras have hyperarithmetic theory: the hyperfinite II$_1$ factor $\mathcal R$, $L(\Gamma)$ for $\Gamma$ a finitely generated group with solvable word problem, $C^*(\Gamma)$ for $\Gamma$ a finitely…

We introduce a classification of locally compact Hausdorff topological spaces with respect to the behavior of $\sigma$-compact subsets, and relying on this classification we study properties of corresponding $C^*$-algebras in terms of frame…

We show that a C*-algebra generated by an irreducible representation of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group satisfies the universal coefficient theorem and has real rank 0. This combines with previous joint work with Gillaspy and…

We define type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ as well as C*-semi-finite C*-algebras. It is shown that a von Neumann algebra is a type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ or C*-semi-finite…

In the given article it is introduced new notions of a C$^*$-algebra of von Neumann type I and C$^*$-algebras of types I$_n$, II, II$_1$, II$_\infty$ and III. It is proved that any GCR-algebra is a C$^*$-algebra of von Neumann type I, and a…

We study a finite index inclusion of simple unital C*-algebras and construct a canonical completely positive coproduct on the second relative commutant, thereby endowing it with a natural coalgebra structure. Motivated by this construction,…

Let $A$ be a separable amenable $C^*$-algebra and $B$ a non-unital and $\sigma$-unital simple $C^*$-algebra with continuous scale ($B$ need not be stable). We classify, up to unitary equivalence, all essential extensions of the form $0…

A class of C*-algebras is described for which the homomorphism from $C_0(0,1]$ to the algebra may be classified by means of the Cuntz semigroup functor. Examples are given of algebras--simple and non-simple--for which this classification…

We prove, among other results, that three standard measures of weak non-compactness coincide in preduals of JBW$^*$-triples. This result is new even for preduals of von Neumann algebras. We further provide a characterization of…

We consider a variant of the notion of Morita equivalence appropriate to weak* closed algebras of Hilbert space operators, which we call {\em weak Morita equivalence}. We obtain new variants, appropriate to the dual algebra setting, of the…

We introduce the notion of proper proximality for finite von Neumann algebras, which naturally extends the notion of proper proximality for groups. Apart from the group von Neumann algebras of properly proximal groups, we provide a number…

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 define a notion of tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-absorption for simple not necessarily unital C*-algebras, study it systematically, and prove its permanence properties. This extends the notion defined by Hirshberg and Orovitz for unital…

We investigate the notion of relative weak injectivity and its nuclearity related properties in the category of operator systems. We obtain several characterizations of the weak expectation property. We show that (c,max)-nuclearity…

The main result of this paper is a characterization of properly infinite injective von Neumann algebras and of nuclear C*-algebras by using a uniqueness theorem, based on generalizations of Voiculescu's famous Weyl-von Neumann theorem.

For a $*$-automorphism group $G$ on a $C^*$- or von Neumann algebra, we study the $G$-quasi invariant states and their properties. The $G$-quasi invariance or $G$-strongly quasi invariance are weaker than the $G$-invariance and have wide…

We show that the following conditions on a C*-algebra are equivalent: (i) it has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings, (ii) the spectrum of every self adjoint element is finite, (iii) it is finite dimensional. We prove that…

In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…

C*-algebras are widely used in mathematical physics to represent the observables of physical systems, and are sometimes taken as the starting point for rigorous formulations of quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics.…

The notion of Fr\'{e}chet locally $C^*$-algebra generalizes the notion of $C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we first present some definitions and basic facts about locally $C^*$-algebra, and then we introduce and study the notion of ideal and…
