The cone of lower semicontinuous traces is studied with a view to its use as an invariant. Its properties include compactness, Hausdorffness, and continuity with respect to inductive limits. A suitable notion of dual cone is given. The cone…

We prove that the Cuntz semigroup is recovered functorially from the Elliott invariant for a large class of C*-algebras. In particular, our results apply to the largest class of simple C*-algebras for which K-theoretic classification can be…

For a C$^*$-algebra $A$, it is an important problem to determine the Cuntz semigroup $\mathrm{Cu}(A\otimes\mathcal{Z})$ in terms of $\mathrm{Cu}(A)$. We approach this problem from the point of view of semigroup tensor products in the…

Let $G$ be a countable group. We introduce several equivalence relations on the set ${\rm Sub}(G)$ of subgroups of $G$, defined by properties of the quasi-regular representations $\lambda_{G/H}$ associated to $H\in {\rm Sub}(G)$ and compare…

We describe a special class of representations of an inverse semigroup S on Hilbert's space which we term "tight". These representations are supported on a subset of the spectrum of the idempotent semilattice of S, called the "tight…

In the context of studying $C^*$-algebras generated by Toeplitz operators acting on the poly-Bergman space $\mathcal{A}^2_{n}(\Pi)$ of the upper half-plane $\Pi$, we introduce a system of all-but-one orthogonal projections in generic…

An important result in real algebraic geometry is the projection theorem: every projection of a semialgebraic set is again semialgebraic. This theorem and some of its conclusions lie at the basis of many other results, for example the…

In this paper, we characterize $\ell$-open and $\ell$-closed $C^*$-algebras and deduce that $\ell$-open $C^*$-algebras are $\ell$-closed, as conjectured by Blackadar. Moreover, we show that a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra is $\ell$-open…

In this paper, we exhibit two unital, separable, nuclear ${\rm C}^*$-algebras of stable rank one and real rank zero with the same ordered scaled total K-theory, but they are not isomorphic with each other, which forms a counterexample to…

C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…

In this paper we present new structural information about the multiplier algebra Mult (A) of a sigma-unital purely infinite simple C*-algebra A, by characterizing the positive elements a in Mult(A) that are strict sums of projections…

To an arbitrary directed graph we associate a row-finite directed graph whose C*-algebra contains the C*-algebra of the original graph as a full corner. This allows us to generalize results for C*-algebras of row-finite graphs to…

A category is described to which the Cuntz semigroup belongs and as a functor into which it preserves inductive limits.

Both boundary maps in K-theory are expressed in terms of surjections from projective C*-algebras to semiprojective C*-algebras.

We show that if B is a C*-subalgebra of a C*-algebra A such that B contains a bounded approximate identity for A, and if L is the pull-back to A of the quotient norm on A/B, then L is strongly Leibniz. In connection with this situation we…

The authors' recent classification of Jesper Villadsen's remarkable generalization (based on a self-reproducing seed space) of Glimm's infinite tensor product (UHF) C*-algebras, by means of the Cuntz semigroup (in the case of a fixed,…

A groupoid correspondence on an etale, locally compact groupoid induces a C*-correspondence on its groupoid C*-algebra. We show that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra for this C*-correspondence relative to an ideal associated to an open invariant…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. We say that $A$ satisfies the SP if every bounded homomorphism $A\to B(K)$, with $K$ a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We introduce three hypotheses that relate to extending hyperreflexive…

In this paper, we consider pure infiniteness of generalized Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to labeled spaces $(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{E})$. It is shown that a $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{E})$ is purely infinite in the sense…

We study C*-algebras associated with subsemigroups of groups. For a large class of such semigroups including positive cones in quasi-lattice ordered groups and left Ore semigroups, we describe the corresponding semigroup C*-algebras as…
