We give a sufficient condition for a $^*$-algebra with a specified basis to have an enveloping $C^*$-algebra. Particularizing to the setting of a Hecke algebra $\h(G,\gm)$, we show that under a suitable assumption not only we can assure…

We generalize the retractions to standard parabolic subgroups for even Artin groups to FC-type Artin groups and other more general families. We prove that these retractions uniquely extend to any parabolic subgroup. We use retractions to…

In the 2002 Durham Symposium, Markus Linckelmann [1] conjectured the existence of a regular central k*-extension of the full subcategory over the selfcentralizing Brauer pairs of the Frobenius P-category F_{(b,G)} associated with a block b…

We establish conditions under which the universal and reduced norms coincide for a Fell bundle over a groupoid. Specifically, we prove that the full and reduced C*-algebras of any Fell bundle over a measurewise amenable groupoid coincide,…

We prove that the upper blow-up theorem in the Engel group holds for $C^1$ submanifolds. Combining this result with the known negligibility of the singular set, we obtain an integral representation of the spherical measure for all surfaces…

We define a category of planar diagrams whose Grothendieck group contains an integral version of the infinite rank Heisenberg algebra, thus yielding a categorification of this algebra. Our category, which is a q-deformation of one defined…

We study the connection between amenability, F{\o}lner conditions and the geometry of finitely generated semigroups. Using results of Klawe, we show that within an extremely broad class of semigroups (encompassing all groups, left…

We present a complete list of groups $G$ and fields $F$ for which: (i) the group of normalized units V(FG) of the group algebra FG is locally nilpotent; (ii) the group algebra FG has a finite number of nilpotent elements and V(FG) is an…

We analyze the dichotomy amenable/paradoxical in the context of (discrete, countable, unital) semigroups and corresponding semigroup rings. We consider also F{\o}lner's type characterizations of amenability and give an example of a…

Furstenberg and Glasner proved that for an arbitrary k in N, any piecewise syndetic set contains k length arithmetic progression and such collection is also piecewise syndetic in Z: They used algebraic structure of beta N. The above result…

We introduce the term "protonormal" to refer to a subgroup H of a group G such that for every x in G the subgroups x^{-1}Hx and H commute as sets. If moreover (G,H) is a Hecke pair we show that the Hecke algebra H(G,H) is generated by the…

We introduce the fundamental group $\r{F}(\c{A})$ of a unital $C^*$-algebra $\c{A}$ with finite dimensional trace space. The elements of fundamental group are restricted by K-theoretical obstruction and positivity. Moreover we show there…

The article on the upper central series of infinite groups by M. de Falco, F. de Giovanni, C. Musella and Y.P. Sysak, proceedings of the american mathematical society, Volume 139, Number 2, February 2011, 385--389 consists of a quite long…

For elements $a, b$ of a C*-algebra we denote $a=ab$ by $a\ll b$. We show that all $\omega_1$-unital C*-algebras have $\ll$-increasing approximate units, extending a classical result for $\sigma$-unital C*-algebras. We also construct (in…

We describe the center of the Hecke algebra of a type attached to a Bernstein block under some hypothesis. When $\bf G$ is a connected reductive group over non-archimedean local field $F$ that splits over a tamely ramified extension of $F$…

We provide the first known family of examples of integrable homogeneous sub-Riemannian structures admitting strictly abnormal geodesics. These examples were obtained through the analysis of the equivalence problem for sub-Riemannian Engel…

Let $o(G)$ be the average order of a finite group $G$. We show that if $o(G)<c$, where $c\in \lbrace \frac{13}{6}, \frac{11}{4}\rbrace$, then $G$ is an elementary abelian 2-group or a solvable group, respectively. Also, we prove that the…

Given a group G, we construct, in a canonical way, an inverse semigroup S(G) associated to G. The actions of S(G) are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the partial actions of G, both in the case of actions on a set, and that of…

Let $F$ be a field with at least three elements and $G$ a locally finite group. This paper aims to show that if either $F$ is algebraically closed or the characteristic of $F$ is positive, then an element in the group algebra $FG$ is a…

A subgroup of a group is contranormal if its normal closure coincides with the group. We call such groups without proper contranormal subgroups contranormal-free. In this paper we prove various results concerning contranormal-free groups…
