We construct an endomorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ which does not admit a conditional expectation. This answers a question in the testamentary homework by E. Kirchberg. As an application, it is shown that any unital…

We show that there is a simple separable unital (non-nuclear) tracially AF algebra $A$ which does not absorb the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal Z$ tensorially, i.e., $A \ncong A\otimes\mathcal Z$.

Order unit property of a positive element in a $C^{*}$-algebra is defined. It is proved that precisely projections satisfy this order theoretic property. This way, unital hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebras of a $C^{*}$-algebra are…

A Novikov conformal algebra is a conformal algebra such that its coefficient algebra is right-symmetric and left commutative (i.e., it is an ``ordinary'' Novikov algebra). We prove that every Novikov conformal algebra with a uniformly…

In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…

We study solvable Lie algebras in prime characteristic $p$ that admit non-singular derivations. We show that Jacobson's Theorem remains true if the quotients of the derived series have dimension less than~$p$. We also study the structure of…

We show that, if a simple $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ is topologically finite-dimensional in a suitable sense, then not only $K_{0}(A)$ has certain good properties, but $A$ is even accessible to Elliott's classification program. More precisely, we…

In this paper, it is established that quantum nilpotent algebras (also known as CGL extensions) are catenary, i.e., all saturated chains of inclusions of prime ideals between any two given prime ideals $P \subsetneq Q$ have the same length.…

We introduce the notion of admissible injective envelope for a locally C*-algebra and show that each object in the category whose objects are unital Fr\'{e}chet locally C*-algebras and whose morphisms are unital admissible local completely…

We prove that a unital simple approximately homogeneous (AH) C*-algebra with no dimension growth absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially without appealing to the classification theory of these algebras. Our main result continues to hold…

A theorem of Albert-Draxl states that if a tensor product of two quaternion division algebras $Q_1$, $Q_2$ over a field $F$ is not a division algebra, then there exists a separable quadratic extension of $F$ that embeds as a subfield in…

A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is said to be projection compressible if $P\mathcal{A}P$ is an algebra for all orthogonal projections $P\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Likewise, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be idempotent…

This paper extends a version of the Stone-Weierstrass theorem to more general C*-algebras. Namely, assume that A is a unital, not necessarily separable, C*-algebra, and B is a C*-subalgebra containing the unit element. Then, I prove that:…

We study the closure of the unitary orbit of a given point in the non-commutative Choquet boundary of a unital operator space with respect to the topology of pointwise norm convergence. This may be described more extensively as the…

Extension conjecture states that if a simple module over an artin algebra has nonzero first self-extension group then it has nonzero i-th self-extension group for infinitely many positive integers i. It is shown by recollement of…

I present a new proof of Kirchberg's $\mathcal O_2$-stable classification theorem: two separable, nuclear, stable/unital, $\mathcal O_2$-stable $C^\ast$-algebras are isomorphic if and only if their ideal lattices are order isomorphic, or…

Let $\mathcal D$ be a strongly self-absorbing $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra. Given any separable $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra $A$, our two main results assert the following. If $A$ is $\mathcal D$-stable, then the corona algebra of $A$ is $\mathcal…

Suppose that $H$ is a closed subgroup of a locally compact group $G$. We show that a unitary representation $U$ of $H$ is the restriction of a unitary representation of $G$ if and only if a dual representation $\hat U$ of a crossed product…

We provide a new proof of the Kirchberg--Phillips theorem by adapting the framework laid out by Carri\'on--Gabe--Schafhauser--Tikuisis--White for classifying separable simple unital nuclear stably finite $\mathcal Z$-stable…

One of the main tools to classify \cst-algebras is the study of its projections and its unitaries. It was proved by Cuntz in \cite{Cu81} that if $A$ is a \textit{purely infinite} simple \cst-algebra, then the kernel of the natural map for…
