In an attempt to propose more general conditions for decoherence to occur, we study spectral and ergodic properties of unital, completely positive maps on not necessarily unital $C^*$-algebras, with a particular focus on gapped maps for…

We prove a general mirror duality theorem for a subalgebra $U$ of a simple conformal vertex algebra $A$ and its commutant $V=\mathrm{Com}_A(U)$. Specifically, we assume that $A\cong\bigoplus_{i\in I} U_i\otimes V_i$ as a $U\otimes…

Let $V$ be a vertex operator subalgebra of $U$. Assume that $U$, $V$, and its commutant $V^c$ in $U$ are CFT-type, self-dual, and regular VOAs. Assume also that the double commutant $V^{cc}$ equals $V$. We prove that any intertwining…

We consider C*-algebras associated with stable and unstable equivalence in hyperbolic dynamical systems known as Smale spaces. These systems include shifts of finite type, in which case these C*-algebras are both AF-algebras. These algebras…

A tuple (Z_1,...,Z_p) of matrices of size r is said to be a commuting extension of a tuple (A_1,...,A_p) of matrices of size n <r if the Z_i pairwise commute and each A_i sits in the upper left corner of a block decomposition of Z_i. This…

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…

Assuming a unitarily invariant norm $|||\cdot|||$ is given on a two-sided ideal of bounded linear operators acting on a separable Hilbert space, it induces some unitarily invariant norms $|||\cdot|||$ on matrix algebras $\mathcal{M}_n$ for…

In this paper, we introduce a class of non-unital tracial approximation ${\rm C^*}$-algebras. Consider the class of ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which are tracially $\mathcal{Z}$-absorbing (in the sense of Amint, Golestani, Jamali, Phillips's…

We will prove that one-sided topological Markov shifts $(X_A,\sigma_A)$ and $(X_B,\sigma_B)$ for matrices $A$ and $B$ with entries in $\{0,1\}$ are topologically orbit equivalent if and only if there exists an isomorphism between the…

A $C^*$-textile dynamical system $({\cal A}, \rho,\eta,\Sigma^\rho,\Sigma^\eta, \kappa)$ connsists of a unital $C^*$-algebra ${\cal A}$, two families of endomorphisms ${\rho_\alpha}_{\alpha \in \Sigma^\rho}$ and ${\eta_a}_{a \in…

Let E be a second-countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid equipped with an action of T such that G:=E/T is a principal groupoid with Haar system \lambda. The twisted groupoid C*-algebra C*(E;G,\lambda) is a quotient of the C*-algebra…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

In this expository paper, various properties of matrix traces, determinants and adjugate matrices are proved, including the *trace Cayley-Hamilton theorem*, which says that \[ kc_k + \sum_{i=1}^k \operatorname{Tr} (A^i) c_{k-i} = 0 \qquad…

We show that the spectral theorem -- which we understand to be a statement that every self-adjoint matrix admits a certain type of canonical form under unitary similarity -- admits analogues over other $*$-algebras distinct from the complex…

Let theta = p/q with p and q relatively prime and u and v a pair of unitaries such that u v = e^{i theta} v u, where u and v generate the rotation C*-algebra A_theta. Let h_{theta, lambda} = u + u^{-1} + lambda/2(v + v^{-1}) be the almost…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a bounded connected $C^2$ domain. For any unit vector $\nu\in\mathbb{R}^n$, let $T_{\lambda}^{\nu}=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:x\cdot\nu=\lambda\}$,…

We classify unital monomorphisms into certain simple Z-stable C^*-algebras up to approximate unitary equivalence. The domain algebra C is allowed to be any unital separable commutative C^*-algebra, or any unital simple separable nuclear…

We prove that for every trace zero matrix $A$ over a principal ideal ring $R$, there exist trace zero matrices $X,Y$ over $R$ such that $XY-YX=A$. Moreover, we show that $X$ can be taken to be regular mod every maximal ideal of $R$. This…

Let $A$ be an algebraically simple, separable, nuclear, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebra for which the trace space $T(A)$ is a Bauer simplex and the extremal boundary $\partial_e T(A)$ has finite covering dimension. We prove that each…

Extending a result of the first author and Katsura, we prove that for every UHF algebra $A$ of infinite type, in every uncountable cardinality $\kappa$ there are $2^\kappa$ nonisomorphic approximately matricial C*-algebras with the same…
