For a long time, practitioners of the art of operator algebras always worked over the complex numbers, and nobody paid much attention to real C*-algebras. Over the last thirty years, that situation has changed, and it's become apparent that…

In this paper, we introduce the quantitative coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients (or QCBC, for short) for proper metric spaces which refines the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture. And we prove that QCBC is derived by the coarse…

In this paper, we introduce a property of topological dynamical systems that we call finite dynamical complexity. For systems with this property, one can in principle compute the $K$-theory of the associated crossed product $C^*$-algebra by…

We associate a non-commutative $C^*$-algebra with any locally finite simplicial complex. We determine the $K$-theory of these algebras and show that they can be used to obtain a conceptual explanation for the Baum-Connes conjecture.

Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism \alpha of a unital C*-algebra A we construct a crossed product. It is shown that the natural construction depends not only on the C*-dynamical system (A,\alpha) but also on the choice of an ideal…

We decompose the crossed product functor for actions of crossed modules of locally compact groups on C*-algebras into more elementary constructions: taking crossed products by group actions and fibres in C*-algebras over topological spaces.…

We give a new proof of some cases of the Baum-Connes conjecture along the lines of a proof of the Farrell-Jones conjecture.

A crossed product functor is said to be injective if it takes injective morphisms to injective morphisms. In this paper we show that every locally compact group $G$ admits a maximal injective crossed product $A\mapsto A\rtimes_{\inj}G$.…

We strengthen a result of Hanke-Schick about the strong Novikov conjecture for low degree cohomology by showing that their non-vanishing result for the maximal group C*-algebra holds for many other exotic group C*-algebras, in particular…

We describe the structure of the irreducible representations of crossed products of unital C*-algebras by actions of finite groups in terms of irreducible representations of the C*-algebras on which the groups act. We then apply this…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of twisted Roe algebra and a twisted coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients. We will study the basic properties of twisted Roe algebras, including a coarse analogue of the imprimitivity theorem…

We study the connection between the Baum-Connes conjecture for an ample groupoid $G$ with coefficient $A$ and the K\"unneth formula for the K-theory of tensor products by the crossed product $A\rtimes_r G$. To do so we develop the machinery…

This note provides a counterexample showing that the assumptions that Chabert and Echterhoff have imposed in their permanence property of the Baum-Connes conjecture for group extensions cannot be simplified.

Let $G$ and $H$ be finitely generated groups. In this paper, we prove the quantitative coarse Baum--Connes conjecture for the free product $G* H$ under the assumption that the conjecture holds for both $G$ and $H$.

Let $\left( 1\to N_m\to G_m\to Q_m\to 1 \right)_{m\in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of extensions of finite groups such that their coarse disjoint unions have bounded geometry. In this paper, we show that if the coarse disjoint unions of…

We construct the crossed product of a C(X)-algebra by an endomorphism, in such a way that the endomorphism itself becomes induced by the bimodule of continuous sections of a vector bundle. Some motivating examples for such a construction…

We will study some modifications to the notion of an exact C*-algebra by replacing the minimal tensor product with the reduced free product. First we will demonstrate how the reduced free product of a short exact sequence of C*-algebras…

We develop an approach, using what we call "tensor $D$ coaction functors", to the "$C$-crossed-product" functors of Baum, Guentner, and Willett. We prove that the tensor $D$ functors are exact, and identify the minimal such functor. This…

Different (fibrewise) amalgamated products of continuous C*-bundles have been studied over the last years, one of the main question being to know when these amalgamated products are continuous C*-bundles. In order to gather these approaches…

We classify extensions of certain classifiable C*-algebras using the six term exact sequence in K-theory together with the positive cone of the K_0-groups of the distinguished ideal and quotient. We then apply our results to a class of…
