We give a detailed introduction to the theory of Cuntz semigroups for C*-algebras. Beginning with the most basic definitions and technical lemmas, we present several results of historical importance, such as Cuntz's theorem on the existence…

It is shown that a strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra is of real rank zero and absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra if it contains a nontrivial projection. We also consider cases where the UCT is automatic for strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras,…

Character groups of Hopf algebras appear in a variety of mathematical and physical contexts. To name just a few, they arise in non-commutative geometry, renormalisation of quantum field theory, and numerical analysis. In the present article…

Kite pseudo effect algebras were recently introduced as a class of interesting examples of pseudo effect algebras using a po-group, an index set and two bijections on the index set. We represent kite pseudo effect algebras with a special…

This paper discusses the existence of black holes from the foundations of quantum mechanics. It is found that quantum mechanics rule out a possible gravitational collapse.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on a row-finite graph E so that the Leavitt path algebra L(E) is purely infinite simple. This result provides the algebraic analog to the corresponding result for the Cuntz-Krieger C$^*$-algebra…

Topological quivers are generalizations of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Associated to such a topological quiver Q is a C*-correspondence, and from this correspondence one may…

Given any positive integer M, we show that there are infinitely many real quadratic fields that do not admit universal quadratic forms in M variables.

The structure of the $C^*$-algebras corresponding to even-dimensional mirror quantum spheres is investigated. It is shown that they are isomorphic to both Cuntz-Pimsner algebras of certain $C^*$-correspondences and $C^*$-algebras of certain…

For any countable directed graph E we describe the primitive ideal space of the corresponding generalized Cuntz-Krieger algebra C*(E).

The No-Cloning property in Quantum Computation is known not to depend on the unitarity of the operators involved, but only on their linearity. Based on that fact, here it is shown that the No-Cloning property remains valid when Quantum…

Given an arbitrary countable directed graph $G$ we prove the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra $T_+(G)$ coincides with the universal Cuntz-Krieger algebra associated with $G$. Our approach is concrete in nature and does not rely on Hilbert…

We introduce two classes of algebras coming from partial triangulations of marked surfaces. The first one, called frozen algebra of a partial triangulation, is generally of infinite rank and contains frozen Jacobian algebras of…

We provide evidence for the conjecture that the Wodzicki-Chern classes vanish for all bundles with the group Z of invertible zeroth order pseudodifferential operators as structure group. In particular, we prove this vanishing if the…

A classical theorem of Kempner states that the sum of the reciprocals of positive integers with missing decimal digits converges. This result is extended to much larger families of "missing digits" sets of positive integers with both…

To every $C^*$ correspondence over a $C^*$-algebra one can associate a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra generalizing crossed product constructions, graph $C^*$-algebras, and a host of other classes of operator algebras. Cuntz-Pimsner algebras come…

We present a uniqueness theorem for k-graph C*-algebras that requires neither an aperiodicity nor a gauge invariance assumption. Specifically, we prove that for the injectivity of a representation of a k-graph C*-algebra, it is sufficient…

We present the first range result for the total K-theory of C*-algebras. This invariant has been used successfully to classify certain separable, nuclear C*-algebras of real rank zero. Our results complete the classification of the…

We investigate Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebras associated with certain correspondences of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We analyze these $C^*$-algebras by analogy with irrational rotation algebras $A_\theta$ and Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_n$.…

We extend the the definition of Kumjian-Pask algebras to include algebras associated to finitely aligned higher-rank graphs. We show that these Kumjian-Pask algebras are universally defined and have a graded uniqueness theorem. We also…
