Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian Hausdorff topological group which is non-compact and whose Pontryagin dual $\Gamma$ is partially ordered. Let $\Gamma^{+}\subset\Gamma$ be the semigroup of positive elements in $\Gamma$. The Hardy space…

We investigate the representation theory of the crossed-product C*-algebra associated to a compact group G acting on a locally compact space X when the stability subgroups vary discontinuously. Our main result applies when G has a principal…

Given a connected linear algebraic group $G$, we descrive the subgroup of $G$ generated by all semisimple elements.

We generalise the quantum double construction of Drinfel'd to the case of the (Hopf) algebra of suitable functions on a compact or locally compact group. We will concentrate on the *-algebra structure of the quantum double. If the conjugacy…

Let $L$ be a length function on a group $G$, and let $M_L$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $L$ on $\ell^2(G)$. Following Connes, $M_L$ can be used as a "Dirac" operator for the reduced group C*-algebra $C_r^*(G)$. It…

The paper presents a construction of the crossed product of a C*-algebra by a semigroup of endomorphisms generated by partial isometries.

The dual Lie bialgebra of a certain ``quasitriangular'' Lie bialgebra structure on the Heisenberg Lie algebra determines a (non-compact) Poisson--Lie group G. The compatible Poisson bracket on G is non-linear, but it can still be realized…

In this paper, we initiate the study of higher rank Baumslag-Solitar semigroups and their related C*-algebras. We focus on two extreme, but interesting, classes - one is related to products of odometers and the other is related to…

For a quasitriangular C*-quantum group, we enrich the twisted tensor product constructed in the first part of this series to a monoidal structure on the category of its continuous coactions on C*-algebras. We define braided C*-quantum…

The algebraic formulation of the quantum group covariant noncommutative geometry in the framework of the $R$-matrix approach to the theory of quantum groups is given. We consider structure groups taking values in the quantum groups and…

The theory of measured quantum groupoids, as defined by Lesieur and myself, was made to generalize the theory of quantum groups made by Kustarmans and Vaes, but was only defined in a von Neumann algebra setting; Th. Timmermann constructed…

In this paper we are interested in examples of locally compact quantum groups $(M,\Delta)$ such that both von Neumann algebras, $M$ and the dual $\hat{M}$, are factors. There is a lot of known examples such that $(M,\hat{M})$ are…

A semigroupoid is a set equipped with a partially defined associative operation. Given a semigroupoid \Lambda we construct a C*-algebra C*(\Lambda) from it. We then present two main examples of semigroupoids, namely the Markov semigroupoid…

Generalizing work by Pinzari and Roberts, we characterize actions of a compact quantum group G on C*-algebras in terms of what we call weak unitary tensor functors from Rep G into categories of C*-correspondences. We discuss the relation of…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space and let $\varphi: K \to K$ be continuous. We study C*-algebra $\mathcal{MC}_\varphi$ generated by all multiplication operators by continuous functions on $K$ and a composition operator $C_\varphi$ induced…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…

For a compact Hausdorff space $X$, the space $SC(X\times X)$ of separately continuous complex valued functions on $X$ can be viewed as a $C^*$-subalgebra of $C(X)^{**}\overline\otimes C(X)^{**}$, namely those elements which slice into…

Let $S$ be a semigroup, $\Lambda$ a non-empty set and $P$ a mapping of $\Lambda$ into $S$. The set $S\times \Lambda$ together with the operation $\circ _P$ defined by $(s, \lambda)\circ _P(t, \mu )=(sP(\lambda)t, \mu )$ form a semigroup…

Given a quantum subgroup $G\subset U_n$ and a number $k\leq n$ we can form the homogeneous space $X=G/(G\cap U_k)$, and it follows from the Stone-Weierstrass theorem that $C(X)$ is the algebra generated by the last $n-k$ rows of coordinates…
