We consider the properties weak cancellation, K_1-surjectivity, good index theory, and K_1-injectivity for the class of extremally rich C*-algebras, and for the smaller class of isometrically rich C*-algebras. We establish all four…

C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…

We prove simplicity and pure infiniteness results for a certain class of labelled graph $C^*$-algebras. We show, by example, that this class of unital labelled graph $C^*$-algebras is strictly larger than the class of unital graph…

We provide a general criterion to deduce maximal amenability of von Neumann subalgebras $L\Lambda \subset L\Gamma$ arising from amenable subgroups $\Lambda$ of discrete countable groups $\Gamma$. The criterion is expressed in terms of…

We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simple, non-elementary C*-algebra with a unique quasitrace and…

We partially characterize nuclearity for the recently introduced class of hypergraph C*-algebras using a tailor-made hypergraph minor relation. The latter is generated by certain operations on hypergraphs which resemble the moves on…

Let A be a unital separable C*-algebra. We observe that A is type I if and only if the CNT-entropy of every inner automorphism of A is zero.

We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.

We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…

For any unital separable simple infinite-dimensional nuclear C*-algebra with finitely many extremal traces, we prove that Z-absorption, strict comparison, and property (SI) are equivalent. We also show that any unital separable simple…

We give a unified treatment of the model theory of various enrichments of infinite atomic Boolean algebras, with special attention to quantifier-eliminations, complete axiomatizations and decidability. A classical example is the enrichment…

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely, the class of separable simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have…

In 1955 Dye proved that two von Neumann factors not of type I_2n are isomorphic (via a linear or a conjugate linear *-isomorphism) if and only if their unitary groups are isomorphic as abstract groups. We consider an analogue for…

We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…

The main result here is that a simple separable C*-algebra is Z-stable (where Z denotes the Jiang-Su algebra) if (i) it has finite nuclear dimension or (ii) it is approximately subhomogeneous with slow dimension growth. This generalizes the…

Given two unital C*-algebras equipped with states and a positive operator in the enveloping von Neumann algebra of their minimal tensor product, we define three parameters that measure the capacity of the operator to align with a coupling…

We construct in this note a unital properly infinite C*-algebra which is not K$_1$-injective.

We survey some of the progress made recently in the classification of von Neumann algebras arising from countable groups and their measure preserving actions on probability spaces. We emphasize results which provide classes of…

By combining R{\o}rdam's construction and the author's previous construction, we provide the first examples of amenable actions of non-amenable groups on simple separable nuclear C*-algebras that are neither stably finite nor purely…

We fix a gap in the proof of a result in our earlier paper "Generalised notions of amenability, II" (J. Funct. Anal. 254 (2008) 1776-1810), and so provide a new proof to a characterization of amenability for Beurling algebras. The result…
