The residual finite-dimensionality of a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra is known to be encoded in a topological property of its space of representations, stating that finite-dimensional representations should be dense therein. We extend this…
Let $A$ be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, let $G$ be a finite group, and let $\alpha\colon G\rightarrow \mathrm{Aut}(A)$ be an action of $G$ on $A$ which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. We prove that…
While there is only one natural dimension concept for separable, metric spaces, the theory of dimension in noncommutative topology ramifies into different important concepts. To accommodate this, we introduce the abstract notion of a…
We define a tracial analogue of the sequentially split $*$-homomorphism between $C^*$-algebras of Barlak and Szab\'{o} and show that several important approximation properties related to the classification theory of $C^*$-algebras pass from…
The class of $N$-Koszul graded algebras of finite global dimension has gained lots of attention in recent years, especially in the study of Artin-Schelter regular algebras. While structurally rich and concrete, the only known examples of…
We present a proof for certain cases of the noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam conjectures proposed by Baum, D\k{a}browski, and Hajac. When a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ admits a free action of $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, $k \geq 2$, there is no…
A $C^*$-algebra is said to have the LP property if the linear span of projections is dense in a given algebra. In the first part of this paper, we show that an AH algebra $A = \underrightarrow{\lim}(A_i,\phi_i)$ has the LP property if and…
We obtain an improved upper bound for the nuclear dimension of extensions of $\mathcal{O}_\infty$-stable $\rm{C}^*$-algebras. In particular, we prove that the nuclear dimension of a full extension of an $\mathcal{O}_\infty$-stable…
Let G be a connected linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k and H be a finite abelian subgroup of G whose order is prime to char(k). We show that the essential dimension of G is bounded from below by rank(H) -…
In this paper, we prove results on the relative radius of comparison of C*-algebras and their crossed products, focusing on the non-unital setting. More precisely, let $A$ be a stably finite simple non-type-I (not necessarily unital)…
Complexity rank for $C^*$-algebras was introduced by the second author and Yu for applications towards the UCT: very roughly, this rank is at most $n$ if you can repeatedly cut the $C^*$-algebra in half at most $n$ times, and end up with…
We introduce the notion of radical preservation and prove that a radical-preserving homomorphism of left artinian rings of finite projective dimension with superfluous kernel reflects the finiteness of the little finitistic, big finitistic…
For infinite-dimensional groups $G\supset K$ the double cosets $K\setminus G/K$ quite often admit a structure of a semigroup; these semigroups act in $K$-fixed vectors of unitary representations of $G$. We show that such semigroups can be…
We introduce a notion of real rank zero for inclusions of C$^*$-algebras. After showing that our definition has many equivalent characterisations, we offer a complete description of the commutative case. We provide permanence and…
We consider the relation between geometrically finite groups and their limit sets in infinite-dimensional hyperbolic space. Specifically, we show that a rigidity theorem of Susskind and Swarup ('92) generalizes to infinite dimensions, while…
To each irreducible infinite dimensional representation $(\pi,\cH)$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$, we associate a collection of irreducible norm-continuous unitary representations $\pi_{\lambda}^\cA$ of its unitary group $\U(\cA)$, whose…
We establish a new spectral criterion for Kazhdan's property $(T)$ which is applicable to a large class of discrete groups defined by generators and relations. As the main application, we prove property $(T)$ for the groups $EL_n(R)$, where…
Noncommutative lattices have been recently used as finite topological approximations in quantum physical models. As a first step in the construction of bundles and characteristic classes over such noncommutative spaces, we shall study their…
For a large class of C*-algebras $A$, we calculate the $K$-theory of reduced crossed products $A^{\otimes G}\rtimes_rG$ of Bernoulli shifts by groups satisfying the Baum--Connes conjecture. In particular, we give explicit formulas for…
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…
