We consider categorical logic on the category of Hilbert spaces. More generally, in fact, any pre-Hilbert category suffices. We characterise closed subobjects, and prove that they form orthomodular lattices. This shows that quantum logic is…

It is shown how a C*-algebra representation of the transformations of a physical system can be derived from two operational postulates: 1) the existence of dynamically independent systems}; 2) the existence of symmetric faithful states.…

It is shown that the algebra of continuous functions on the quantum $2n+1$-dimensional lens space $C(L^{2n+1}_q(N; m_0,\ldots, m_n))$ is a graph $C^*$-algebra, for arbitrary positive weights $ m_0,\ldots, m_n$. The form of the corresponding…

The well-behaved representations of the coordinate algebra of a 2-dimensional quantum complex plane are classified and a C*-algebra is defined which can be viewed as the algebra of continuous functions on the 2-dimensional quantum complex…

We provide some background on the category of classifiable $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, whose objects are infinite-dimensional, simple, separable, unital $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras that have finite nuclear dimension and satisfy the universal…

We show that several known results about the algebraic K-theory of tensor products of algebras with the C*-algebra of compact operators in Hilbert space remain valid for tensor products with any properly infinite C*-algebra.

We show that neither the class of C*-algebras with Kirchberg's QWEP property nor the class of W*-probability spaces with the QWEP property are effectively axiomatizable (in the appropriate languages). The latter result follows from a more…

We prove that there exists a C*-diagonal with Cantor spectrum in the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_k$ for $2 \le k < \infty$. Our method generalises to an uncountable family of UCT Kirchberg algebras with distinct K-theory. Moreover, we…

We provide a complete characterization of theories of tracial von Neumann algebras that admit quantifier elimination. We also show that the theory of a separable tracial von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{N}$ is never model complete if its…

We introduce and study a natural notion of selflessness for inclusions of C*-probability spaces, which in particular implies that all intermediate C*-algebras are selfless in the sense of Robert. We identify natural sources of selfless…

We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

We prolonge the list of C*-algebras for which all extensions by any stable separable C*-algebra are semi-invertible. In particular, we handle certain amalgamations, both of C*-algebras and of groups. Concerning groups we consider both…

An example is given of a simple, unital C*-algebra which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This C*-algebra is also an example of an infinite simple C*-algebra which is not purely infinite. A corner of this C*-algebra is…

We prove the existence of a strict deformation quantization for the canonical Poisson structure on the dual of an integrable Lie algebroid. It follows that any Lie groupoid C*-algebra may be regarded as a result of a quantization procedure.…

We show that every infinite-dimensional commutative unital C*-algebra has a Hilbert C*-module admitting no frames. In particular, this shows that Kasparov's stabilization theorem for countably generated Hilbert C*-modules can not be…

We show that the theories of some (ordered) central simple algebras with involution over real closed fields are model-complete or admit quantifier elimination, and characterize positive cones in terms of morphisms into models of some of…

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…

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…

An algebra of germs of real functions is generalised quasianalytic if to each element of the algebra we can associate, injectively, a power series with nonnegative real exponents. We prove a quantifier elimination and a rectilinearisation…
