This survey article is concerned with the modeling of the kinematical structure of quantum systems in an algebraic framework which eliminates certain conceptual and computational difficulties of the conventional approaches. Relying on the…
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…
We prove that an amalgamated free product of separable commutative C*-algebras is residually finite-dimensional.
Motivated by advances in categorical probability, we introduce non-commutative almost everywhere (a.e.) equivalence and disintegrations in the setting of C*-algebras. We show that C*-algebras (resp. W*-algebras) and a.e. equivalence classes…
We show that a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is nuclear iff there is a constant $K$ and $\alpha<3$ such that, for any bounded homomorphism $u\colon A \to B(H)$, there is an isomorphism $\xi\colon H\to H$ satisfying $\|\xi^{-1}\|\|\xi\| \le…
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…
To an $r$-dimensional subshift of finite type satisfying certain special properties we associate a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$. This algebra is a higher rank version of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. In particular, it is simple, purely infinite and…
In this paper, W*-algebras are presented as canonical colimits of diagrams of matrix algebras and completely positive maps. In other words, matrix algebras are dense in W*-algebras.
We expand upon work from many hands on the decomposition of nuclear maps. Such maps can be characterized by their ability to be approximately written as the composition of maps to and from matrices. Under certain conditions (such as…
Let $\mathcal A$ be a separable, unital, approximately divisible C$^*$-algebra. We show that $\mathcal A$ is generated by two self-adjoint elements and the topological free entropy dimension of any finite generating set of $\mathcal A$ is…
Simple, separable, unital, monotracial and nuclear C$^*$-algebras are shown to have finite nuclear dimension whenever they absorb the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ tensorially. This completes the proof of the Toms-Winter conjecture in the…
We prove the title by constructing 2-colourable completely positive approximations for the Toeplitz algebra. Besides results about nuclear dimension and completely positive contractive order zero maps, our argument involves projectivity of…
We initiate the study of computable presentations of real and complex C*-algebras under the program of effective metric structure theory. With the group situation as a model, we develop corresponding notions of recursive presentations and…
In this paper we show that for an almost finite minimal ample groupoid $G$, its reduced $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra $C_r^*(G)$ has real rank zero and strict comparison even though $C_r^*(G)$ may not be nuclear in general. Moreover, if we further…
In the given article infinite order decompositions of C$^*$-algebras are investigated. We give complete proofs of the following statements: 1) If the order unit space $\sum_{\xi,\eta}^\oplus p_\xi Ap_\eta$ is monotone complete in $B(H)$…
I give an overview of recent developments in the structure and classification theory of separable, simple, nuclear C*-algebras. I will in particular focus on the role of quasidiagonality and amenability for classification, and on the…
We study the class of pseudocompact C*-algebras, which are the logical limits of finite-dimensional C*-algebras. The pseudocompact C*-algebras are unital, stably finite, real rank zero, stable rank one, and tracial. We show that the…
We introduce a notion of covering dimension for Cuntz semigroups of C*-algebras. This dimension is always bounded by the nuclear dimension of the C*-algebra, and for subhomogeneous C*-algebras both dimensions agree. Cuntz semigroups of…
We characterize relatively norm compact sets in the regular $C^*$-algebra of finitely generated Coxeter groups using a geometrically defined positive semigroup acting on the algebra.
Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…
