In this paper, a new invariant was built towards the classification of separable C*-algebras of real rank zero, which we call latticed total K-theory. A classification theorem is given in terms of such an invariant for a large class of…

A famous conjecture about group algebras of torsion-free groups states that there is no zero divisor in such group algebras. A recent approach to settle the conjecture is to show the non-existence of zero divisors with respect to the length…

A host algebra of a topological group G is a C^*-algebra whose representations are in one-to-one correspondence with certain continuous unitary representations of G. In this paper we present an approach to host algebras for infinite…

We show that if A is a separable, nuclear, O_infty-absorbing (or strongly purely infinite) C*-algebra, which is homotopic to zero in an ideal-system preserving way, then A is the inductive limit of C*-algebras of the form M_k(C_0(G,v)),…

Given a directed graph $E$ and a labeling $\mathcal{L}$, one forms the labeled graph $C^*$-algebra by taking a weakly left--resolving labeled space $(E, \mathcal{L}, \mathcal{B})$ and considering a universal generating family of partial…

We compute the generator rank of a subhomgeneous C*-algebra in terms of the covering dimension of the pieces of its primitive ideal space corresponding to irreducible representations of a fixed dimension. We deduce that every Z-stable…

Inspired by a very recent work of A. {\DH}uri\'c, S. Jev{\dj}eni\'c and N. Stopar, we introduce a new definition of zero-divisor graphs attached to rings, that includes all of the classical definitions already known in the literature. We…

It is well known that in the commutative case, i.e. for $A=C(X)$ being a commutative C*-algebra, compact selfadjoint operators acting on the Hilbert C*-module $H_A$ (= continuous families of such operators $K(x)$, $x\in X$) can be…

It is proved that every separable $C^*$-algebra of real rank zero contains an AF-sub-$C^*$-algebra such that the inclusion mapping induces an isomorphism of the ideal lattices of the two $C^*$-algebras and such that every projection in a…

Let $X$ be a locally compact non compact Hausdorff topological space. Consider the algebras $C(X)$, $C_b(X)$, $C_0(X)$, and $C_{00}(X)$ of respectively arbitrary, bounded, vanishing at infinity, and compactly supported continuous functions…

We define variants of Pisier's similarity degree for unital C*-algebras and use direct integral theory to obtain new results. We prove that if every II$_{1}$ factor representation of a separable C*-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ has property…

We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These…

We address the classification problem for graph $C^*$-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that…

We introduce the nuclear dimension of a C*-algebra; this is a noncommutative version of topological covering dimension based on a modification of the earlier concept of decomposition rank. Our notion behaves well with respect to inductive…

We consider inductive systems of C*-algebras with completely positive contractive connecting maps. We define a condition, called C*-encoding, which is sufficient for the limit of the system to be completely order isomorphic to a C*-algebra…

Quantum symmetry of a graph $C^{*}$-algebra $C^{*}(\Gamma)$ corresponding to a finite graph $\Gamma$ has been explored by several mathematicians within different categories in the past few years. In this article, we establish that there are…
