In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. To every ideal in $\ell^{\infty}(\G)$ we associate a C$^*$-algebra completion of the group ring that encapsulates the unitary representations with matrix coefficients belonging to the ideal. The general…

Let $A_{\alpha}^{p}(\mathbb{B}^n;\mathbb{C}^d)$ be the weighted Bergman space on the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ of functions taking values in $\mathbb{C}^d$. For $1<p<\infty$ let $\mathcal{T}_{p,\alpha}$ be the algebra…

The functionals on an ordered semigroup S in the category Cu--a category to which the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra naturally belongs--are investigated. After appending a new axiom to the category Cu, it is shown that the "realification"…

Let G be a solvable Lie group endowed with right Haar measure. We define and study a dense Frechet *-subalgebra S of L1(G), consisting of smooth functions rapidly-decreasing at infinity on G. When G is nilpotent, we recover the classical…

Given a discrete quantum group A we construct a certain Hopf *-algebra AP which is a unital *-subalgebra of the multiplier algebra of A. The structure maps for AP are inherited from M(A) and thus the construction yields a compactification…

The most important uniform algebra is the family of continuous functions on a compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ which are analytic on the interior int$(K)$ For compact sets $K$ which are regular (i.e. $K =$int$(K)$ and…

We investigate how a C*-algebra could consist of functions on a noncommutative set: a discretization of a C*-algebra $A$ is a $*$-homomorphism $A \to M$ that factors through the canonical inclusion $C(X) \subseteq \ell^\infty(X)$ when…

This is a survey of the author's paper arXiv:1001.0023 on "Algebraic Geometry over C-infinity rings". If X is a smooth manifold then the R-algebra C^\infty(X) of smooth functions c : X --> R is a "C-infinity ring". That is, for each smooth…

Let ${\mathbb{D}}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ and for an integer $d\geq 1$, let $S_d$ denote the symmetric group, consisting of of all permutations of the set $\{1,\cdots, d\}$. A function $f:{\mathbb{D}}^d\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ is…

We show that for algebraic groups over local fields of characteristic zero, the following are equivalent: Every homomorphism has a closed image, every unitary representation decomposes into a direct sum of finite-dimensional and mixing…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

We propose a definition of a "$C^*$-Eberlein" algebra, which is a weak form of a $C^*$-bialgebra with a sort of "unitary generator". Our definition is motivated to ensure that commutative examples arise exactly from semigroups of…

For an operator ideal $\mathcal A$, we study the composition operator ideals ${\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}$ and ${\mathcal K}\circ{\mathcal A}\circ{\mathcal K}$, where $\mathcal K$ is the ideal of compact…

In present work we deal with the class $\mathcal{C}=\mathcal{C}_1\cup \mathcal{C}_2$ where $\mathcal{C}_1$ (respectively, $\mathcal{C}_2$) is formed by all separable Uniform algebras (respectively, separable commutative C$^*$-algebras) with…

Let $G$ be a real reductive algebraic group, and let $H\subset G$ be an algebraic subgroup. It is known that the action of $G$ on the space of functions on $G/H$ is "tame" if this space is spherical. In particular, the multiplicities of the…

We prove a Slice Theorem around closed leaves in a singular Riemannian foliation, and we use it to study the $C^\infty$-algebra of smooth basic functions, generalizing to the inhomogeneous setting a number of results by G.~Schwarz. In…

Let $\mathscr{L}^*(s)$ be the maximal $\mathcal{O}^*$-algebra of unbounded operators on $\ell_2$ whose domain is the space $s$ of rapidly decreasing sequences. This is a noncommutative topological algebra with involution which can be…

An algebra $A$ is said to be directly finite if each left invertible element in the (conditional) unitization of $A$ is right invertible. We show that the reduced group ${\rm C}^\ast$-algebra of a unimodular group is directly finite,…

The multiplicative group of a number field acts by multiplication on the full adele ring of the field. Generalising a theorem of Laca and Raeburn, we explicitly describe the primitive ideal space of the crossed product C*-algebra associated…
