Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

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…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $H$ be a Hilbert $A$-module and $K(H)$ be the closure of the set of finite rank module maps. We show that the $W^*$-algebra of all bounded $A^{**}$-module maps on the smallest self-dual Hilbert $A^{**}$-module…

Let $A$ be a $\sigma$-unital finite simple $C^*$-algebra which has strict comparison property. We show that if the canonical map $\Gamma$ from the Cuntz semigroup to certain lower semi-continuous affine functions is surjective, then $A$ has…

It is shown that the reduced C*-algebra of a nontrivial linear group $\Gamma<GL_{d}(k)$ with trivial amenable radical is selfless. Thus selflessness and simplicity coincide for reduced C*-algebras of linear groups. Similar results are…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space, let $A$ be a unital AH algebra with large matrix sizes, and let $B$ be a stably finite unital C*-algebra. Then we give a lower bound for the radius of comparison of $C(X) \otimes B$ and prove that the…

We construct a simple C*-algebra with nuclear dimension zero that is not isomorphic to its tensor product with the Jiang-Su algebra Z, and a hyperfinite II_1 factor not isomorphic to its tensor product with the separable hyperfinite II_1…

The purpose of this short note is to clarify and present a general version of an interesting observation by Piani and Mora (Physic. Rev. A 75, 012305 (2007)), linking complete positivity of linear maps on matrix algebras to decomposability…

We prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of unital, separable, simple and nuclear…

It is shown that every Jiang-Su stable approximately subhomogeneous C*-algebra has finite decomposition rank. Previously, it was not even known that such algebras have finite nuclear dimension. A key step in the proof is that subhomogeneous…

Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…

Let $A$ be a separable, unital, simple C*-algebra with stable rank one. We show that every strictly positive, lower semicontinuous, affine function on the simplex of normalized quasitraces of $A$ is realized as the rank of an operator in…

We extend the results of our previous paper "C*-algebras and numerical linear algebra" to cover the case of "unilateral" sections. This situation bears a close resemblance to the case of Toeplitz operators on Hardy spaces, in spite of the…

We prove that if A and B are Fell bundles over the locally compact groups G and H respectively, then the minimal (maximal) tensor product of the C*-algebra of kernels of A with the C*-algebra of kernels of B agrees with the C*-algebra of…

Let k be a global field and let k_v be the completion of k with respect to v, a non-archimedean place of k. Let \mathbf{G} be a connected, simply-connected algebraic group over k, which is absolutely almost simple of k_v-rank 1. Let…

We study classes of reproducing kernels $K$ on general domains; these are kernels which arise commonly in machine learning models; models based on certain families of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. They are the positive definite kernels…

We show that a tracial state on a unital C*-algebra admits a Haar unitary if and only if it is diffuse, if and only if it does not dominate a tracial functional that factors through a finite-dimensional quotient. It follows that a unital…

Given a parametrization of a rational plane algebraic curve C, some explicit adjoint pencils on C are described in terms of determinants. Moreover, some generators of the Rees algebra associated to this parametrization are presented. The…

We show that unital simple C*-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which are locally approximated by subhomogeneous C^-algebras can be classified by their ordered $K$-theory. We apply this classification result to show that certain…

We show that a tensor product of irreducible, finite dimensional representations of a simple Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero, determines the individual constituents uniquely. This is analogous to the uniqueness of prime…
