We examine a condition on a simply connected 2-complex X ensuring that groups acting properly on X are coherent. This extends earlier work on 2-complexes with negative sectional curvature which covers the case that G acts freely. Our…

We define the decomposition property for partial actions of discrete groups on $C^*$-algebras. Decomposable partial systems appear naturally in practice, and many commonly occurring partial actions can be decomposed into partial actions…

We study actions of discrete groups on Hilbert $C^*$-modules induced from topological actions on compact Hausdorff spaces. We show non-amenability of actions of non-amenable and non-a-T-menable groups, provided there exists a…

We define the action of a locally compact group $G$ on a topological graph $E$. This action induces a natural action of $G$ on the $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal H}(E)$ and on the graph $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$. If the action is free and…

For an action of a finite group on a C*-algebra, we present some conditions under which properties of the C*-algebra pass to the crossed product or the fixed point algebra. We mostly consider the ideal property, the projection property,…

The local trajectories method establishes invertibility in algebras $\mathcal{B}= \alg(\mathcal{A}, U_G)$, for a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ with a non-trivial center, and a unitary group $U_g$, $g\in G$, with $G$ a discrete group,…

Let $C^*$-algebra that is acted upon by a compact abelian group. We show that if the fixed-point algebra of the action contains a Cartan subalgebra $D$ satisfying an appropriate regularity condition, then $A$ is the reduced $C^*$-algebra of…

We generalize Kirchberg's weak exactness to inclusions of C*-algebras in von Neumann algebras and study some characterizations and permanence properties which are similar to those of exact groups. We then consider a similar condition to…

The equivariant version of semiprojectivity was recently introduced by the first author. We study properties of this notion, in particular its relation to ordinary semiprojectivity of the crossed product and of the algebra itself. We show…

Conditions $C$, $C'$, and $C"$ were introduced for operator spaces in an attempt to study local reflexivity and exactness of operator spaces (Effros and Ruan, 2000). For example, it is known that an operator space $W$ is locally reflexive…

For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…

In this memoir we develop a framework to study rigidity problems for Roe-like C*-algebras of countably generated coarse spaces. The main goal is to give a complete and self-contained solution to the problem of C*-rigidity for proper…

We study the simplicity of $C^{*}$-algebras built from group actions. For a faithful isometric action of a group $G$ on a countable metric space $X$, we use the associated action representation on $\ell^2(X)$ to define the action-based…

The aim of this paper is to classify cohomogeneity one isometric actions on the 4-dimensional Minkowski space $\mathbb{R}^{3,1}$, up to orbit equivalence. Representations, up to conjugacy, of the acting groups in $O(3,1)\ltimes…

We present existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results for some kinetic equations motivated by models for the collective behavior of large groups of individuals. Models of this kind have been recently proposed to study the…

We introduce an extended setting to study Hecke pairs $(G,H)$ which admit a regular representation on $L^2(H\backslash G)$, and consequently a $C^*$-algebra. As the result, many pairs of locally compact groups which had been studied in…

We initiate the study of compact group actions on C*-algebras from the perspective of model theory, and present several applications to C*-dynamics. Firstly, we prove that the continuous part of the central sequence algebra of a strongly…

Using a ``3 by 3 matrix trick'' we previously showed that multiplication in a C*-algebra A, an algebraic structure, is determined by the geometry of the C*-algebra of the 3 by 3 matrices with entries from A. As an application of this…

We study $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences, which was introduced by the author. We prove the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, and obtain conditions for our $C^*$-algebras to be nuclear, exact, or satisfy the Universal…

In analogy with the C*-algebra theory, we study variants appropriate to nonselfadjoint algebras of nuclearity, the local lifting property, exactness, and the weak expectation property. In addition, we study the relationships between these…
