The notion of extension of a given $C^*$-category $C$ by a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is introduced. In the commutative case $A = C(\Omega)$, the objects of the extension category are interpreted as fiber bundles over $\Omega$ of objects belonging…

A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

The Roe algebra $C^*(X)$ is a non-commutative $C^*$-algebra reflecting metric properties of a space $X$, and it is interesting to understand relation between the Roe algebra of $X$ and the (uniform) Roe algebra of its discretization. Here…

Let A be a unital separable simple infinite-dimensional nuclear C*-algebra with at least one tracial state. We prove that if the trace space of A has compact finite-dimensional extreme boundary then there exist unital embeddings of matrix…

We define and study large and stably large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras. The basic example is the orbit breaking subalgebra of a crossed product by Z, as follows. Let X be an infinite compact metric space, let h be a minimal…

We introduce the concept of finitely coloured equivalence for unital *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras, for which unitary equivalence is the 1-coloured case. We use this notion to classify *-homomorphisms from separable, unital, nuclear…

Following up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C*-algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C*-algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include:…

We address the problem of when two finite dimensional central division algebras over the same field are necessarily isomorphic given that they have the same maximal subfields.

We prove that unital graph C*-algebras often admit a convenient decomposition into amalgamated free products. We use this to give a complete characterization of when a unital graph C*-algebra is residually finite-dimensional and when it is…

By analogy with the well-established notions of just-infinite groups and just-infinite (abstract) algebras, we initiate a systematic study of just-infinite C*-algebras, i.e., infinite dimensional C*-algebras for which all proper quotients…

In this paper we determine the representation type of some algebras of infinite matrices continuously controlled at infinity by a compact metrizable space. We explicitly classify their finitely presented modules in the finite and tame…

In a previous paper the second author introduced a compact topology on the space of closed ideals of a unital Banach algebra A. If A is separable then this topology is either metrizable or else neither Hausdorff nor first countable. Here it…

We obtain partial affirmative answers to the question whether isomorphism of the unitary groups of two C*-algebras, either as topological groups or as discrete groups, implies isomorphism of the C*-algebras as real C*-algebras.

This is the final one in the series of papers where we introduce and study the $C^*$-algebras associated with topological graphs. In this paper, we get a sufficient condition on topological graphs so that the associated $C^*$-algebras are…

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…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space, and let $A$ be a pure $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra. We show that $C(X,A)$ is pure whenever $A$ is simple; or every quotient of $A$ is stably finite (e.g., $A$ has stable rank one). Using permanence properties of…

In this paper we study structural properties of the Cuntz semigroup and its functionals for continuous fields of C*-algebras over finite dimensional spaces. In a variety of cases, this leads to an answer to a conjecture posed by Blackadar…

We introduce the notions of multiplier C*-category and continuous bundle of C*-categories, as the categorical analogues of the corresponding C*-algebraic notions. Every symmetric tensor C*-category with conjugates is a continuous bundle of…

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…

Associative algebras with involution over a field of zero characteristic are considered. It is proved that in this case for any finitely generated associative algebra with involution there exists a finite dimensional algebra with involution…
