We generalize some aspects of the theory of compact projections relative to a C*-algebra, to the setting of more general algebras. Our main result is that compact projections are the decreasing limits of `peak projections', and in the…

The CBH theorem characterises quantum theory within a C*-algebraic framework. Namely, mathematical properties of C*-algebras modelling quantum systems are equivalent to constraints that are information-theoretic in nature: (1)…

We describe the envelope C*-algebra associated to a partial action of a countable discrete group on a locally compact space as a groupoid C*-algebra (more precisely as a C*-algebra from an equivalence relation) and we use our approach to…

Let $(X, \Gamma)$ be a free minimal dynamical system, where $X$ is a compact separable Hausdorff space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete amenable group. It is shown that, if $(X, \Gamma)$ has a version of Rokhlin property (uniform Rokhlin…

In this paper, we will define the reduced cross-sectional $C^*$-algebras of $C^*$-algebraic bundles over locally compact groups and show that if a $C^*$-algebraic bundle has the approximation property (defined similarly as in the discrete…

In this paper we study rigidity properties of abelian \hyphenation{break-able}actions with weak or no hyperbolicty. We introduce a general strategy for proving $C^\infty$ local rigidity of algebraic actions. As a consequence, we show…

Given a finite alphabet $\Lambda$, and a not necessarily finite type subshift $X\subseteq \Lambda^\infty$, we introduce a partial action of the free group $F(\Lambda)$ on a certain compactification $\Omega_X$ of $X$, which we call the…

We show that the property of being rationally $K$-stable passes from the fibers of a continuous $C(X)$-algebra to the ambient algebra, under the assumption that the underlying space $X$ is compact, metrizable, and of finite covering…

We prove the index theorem for elliptic operators acting on sections of bundles where fiber is equal to a projective module over a C*-algebra, in the situation of action of a compact Lie group on this algebra as well as on the total space…

We have introduced a notion of $C^*$-symbolic dynamical system in [K. Matsumoto: Actions of symbolic dynamical systems on $C^*$-algebras, to appear in J. Reine Angew. Math.], that is a finite family of endomorphisms of a $C^*$-algebra with…

We prove that every coaction of a compact group on a finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebra is associated with a Fell bundle. Every coaction of a compact group on a matrix algebra is implemented by a unitary operator. A coaction of a compact…

We characterise the groupoid $C^*$-algebras associated to the transformation groupoids of injective actions of discrete countable Ore semi-groups on compact topological spaces in terms of the reduced crossed product from the dual actions,…

Groupoid actions on C*-bundles and inverse semigroup actions on C*-algebras are closely related when the groupoid is r-discrete.

A subgroup of an amenable group is amenable. The $C^*$-algebra version of this fact is false. This was first proved by M.-D. Choi who proved that the non-nuclear $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\ZZ_2*\ZZ_3)$ is a subalgebra of the nuclear Cuntz…

Let H be a compact quantum group with faithful Haar measure and bounded counit. If H acts on a C*-algebra A, we show that A is nuclear if and only if its fixed-point subalgebra is nuclear. As a consequence H is a nuclear C*-algebra.

A discrete group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple, and is said to have the unique trace property if its reduced C*-algebra has a unique tracial state. A dynamical characterization of C*-simplicity was recently…
