Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism \delta 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,\delta) but also on the choice of an ideal J…

First a few reformulations of Frankl's conjecture are given, in terms of reduced families or matrices, or analogously in terms of lattices. These lead naturally to a stronger conjecture with a neat formulation which might be easier to…

In this second article on crossed products by "actions" of Hecke pairs we study their different C*-completions, namely we show how reduced and full C*-crossed products can be defined. We also establish that our construction coincides with…

A celebrated theorem of Pimsner states that a covariant representation $T$ of a $C^*$-correspondence $E$ extends to a $C^*$-representation of the Toeplitz algebra of $E$ if and only if $T$ is isometric. This paper is mainly concerned with…

We give a new definition of the semigroup C*-algebra of a left cancellative semigroup, which resolves problems of the construction by X. Li. Namely, the new construction is functorial, and the independence of ideals in the semigroup does…

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

Imprimitivity theorems provide a fundamental tool for studying the representation theory and structure of crossed-product C*-algebras. In this work, we show that the Imprimitivity Theorem for induced algebras, Green's Imprimitivity Theorem…

We give a general method of extending unital completely positive maps to amalgamated free products of C*-algebras. As an application we give a dilation theoretic proof of Boca's Theorem.

We give an introduction into the ideal structure and representation theory of crossed products by actions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras. In particular, we discuss the Mackey-Rieffel-Green theory of induced representations of…

We reformulate the $3x+1$ conjecture by restricting attention to numbers congruent to $2$ (mod $3$). This leads to an equivalent conjecture for positive integers that reveals new aspects of the dynamics of the $3x+1$ problem. Advantages…

The crossed products of locally C*-algebras are defined and a Takai duality theorem for inverse limit actions of a locally compact group on a locally C*-algebra is proved.

We describe the representation theory of C*-crossed-products of a unital C*-algebra A by the cyclic group of order 2. We prove that there are two main types of irreducible representations for the crossed-product: those whose restriction to…

We consider an extendible endomorphism $\alpha$ of a $C^*$-algebra $A$. We associate to it a canonical $C^*$-dynamical system $(B,\beta)$ that extends $(A,\alpha)$ and is `reversible' in the sense that the endomorphism $\beta$ admits a…

We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…

We consider operators on $L^2$ spaces that expand the support of vectors in a manner controlled by some constraint function. The primary objects of study are $\mathrm C^*$-algebras that arise from suitable families of constraints, which we…

We study the crossed product $C^*$-algebra associated to injective endomorphisms, which turns out to be equivalent to study the crossed product by the dilated autormorphism. We prove that the dilation of the Bernoulli $p$-shift endomorphism…

A bivariant functor is defined on a category of *-algebras and a category of operator ideals, both with actions of a second countable group $G$, into the category of abelian monoids. The element of the bivariant functor will be…

We use the boundary-path space of a finitely-aligned k-graph \Lambda to construct a compactly-aligned product system X, and we show that the graph algebra C^*(\Lambda) is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra NO(X). In this setting,…

This is a survey of recent advances in commutative algebra, especially in mixed characteristic, obtained by using the theory of perfectoid spaces. An explanation of these techniques and a short account of the author's proof of the direct…

We show that induction of covariant representations for C*-dynamical systems is natural in the sense that it gives a natural transformation between certain crossed-product functors. This involves setting up suitable categories of…
