We say that a unital C*-algrebra A has the approximate positive factorization property (APFP) if every element of A is a norm limit of products of positive elements of A. (There is also a definition for the nonunital case.) T. Quinn has…

We give a framework to produce C*-algebra inclusions with extreme properties. This gives the first constructive nuclear minimal ambient C*-algebras. We further obtain a purely infinite analogue of Dadarlat's modeling theorem on AF-algebras:…

We conjecture that a unital C$^*$-algebra is a W$^*$-algebra if and only if each of its maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras is a W$^*$-algebra; this is a space-free analogue of a known result due to G.K. Pedersen. Our main result is a…

We construct C*-diagonals with connected spectra in all classifiable stably finite C*-algebras which are unital or stably projectionless with continuous scale. For classifiable stably finite C*-algebras with torsion-free $K_0$ and trivial…

We show that a separable purely infinite C*-algebra is of real rank zero if and only if its primitive ideal space has a basis consisting of compact-open sets and the natural map K_0(I) -> K_0(I/J) is surjective for all closed two-sided…

In this paper, we introduce some classes of generalized tracial approximation ${\rm C^*}$-algebras. Consider the class of unital ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which are tracially $\mathcal{Z}$-absorbing (or have tracial nuclear dimension at most…

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)…

Let $\Omega$ be a class of ${\rm C^*}$-algebras. In this paper, we study a class of not necessarily unital generalized tracial approximation ${\rm C^*}$-algebras, and the class of simple ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which can be generally tracially…

Inspired by the recent work of Bekka, we study two reasonable analogues of property (T) for not necessarily unital C*-algebras. The stronger one of the two is called ``property (T)'' and the weaker one is called ``property (T_{e})''. It is…

We introduce the nuclear dimension of a C*-algebra; this is a noncommutative version of topological covering dimension based on a modification of the earlier concept of decomposition rank. Our notion behaves well with respect to inductive…

A $C^*$-algebra satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) of Rosenberg and Schochet if it is equivalent in Kasparov's $KK$-theory to a commutative $C^*$-algebra. This paper is motivated by the problem of establishing the range of…

We give a shorter proof of the fact that the Jiang-Su algebra is strongly self-absorbing. This is achieved by introducing and studying so-called unitarily suspended endomorphisms of generalized dimension drop algebras. Along the way we…

We investigate $C^*$-algebras associated with row-finite topological higher-rank graphs with no source, which are based on product system $C^*$-algebras. We prove the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem, and provide the condition of simplicity…

We classify all essential extensions of the form $$0 \rightarrow \W \rightarrow \D \rightarrow A \rightarrow 0$$ where $\W$ is the unique separable simple C*-algebra with a unique tracial state, with finite nuclear dimension and with…

For a discrete group G, we consider the minimal C*-subalgebra of $\ell^\infty(G)$ that arises as the image of a unital positive G-equivariant projection. This algebra always exists and is unique up to isomorphism. It is trivial if and only…

We show that a separable C*-algebra $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if its uncorrected central sequence algebra $A' \cap A_{\mathcal{U}}$ is pure, if and only if Kirchberg's central sequence algebra $F(A)$ is pure. More generally,…

We introduce and study a notion of Rokhlin property for an inclusion of unital $C^*$-algebras which could have no projections like the Jiang-Su algebra. We also introduce a notion of approximate representability and show a duality between…

Let $P \subset A$ be a inclusion of unital C*-algebras and $E\colon A \to P$ be a conditional expectation of index finite type. We introduce a Rokhlin property for $E$ and discuss about $\mathcal{D}$-absorbing proeprty, where $\mathcal{D}$…
