A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

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…

It has been a longstanding problem whether every amenable operator algebra is isomorphic to a (necessarily nuclear) C*-algebra. In this note, we give a nonseparable counterexample. The existence of a separable counterexample remains an open…

We show that for a large class of varieties of algebras, the equational theory of the congruence lattices of the members is not finitely based.

Techniques of combinatorial set theory are applied to the following algebraic problem. Suppose G is an abelian group such that, for all countable subgroups C, the divisible part of the quotient G/C is countable. What can one conclude about…

We describe a proof of the following folklore theorem: If $\cX = G/K$ is the homogeneous space of a simply connected compact semisimple Lie group with Poisson-Lie stabilizers, then the $q$-deformed algebras of regular functions $\CC[\cX_q]$…

There exist combable groups in which the conjugacy problem is unsolvable. The isomorphism problem is unsolvable for certain recursive sequences of finite presentations of combable groups.

Continuum Kac-Moody algebras have been recently introduced by the authors and O. Schiffmann. These are Lie algebras governed by a continuum root system, which can be realized as uncountable colimits of Borcherds-Kac-Moody algebras. In this…

We present a theory that produces several examples where the homotopy Lie algebra of a complex hyperplane arrangement is not finitely presented. We also present examples of hyperplane arrangements where the enveloping algebra of this Lie…

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

We revisit G. Elek's notion of amenable representation type, where algebras are characterised by every indecomposable module being "almost" the direct sum of modules of bounded dimension. We give a new proof of his result that string…

Let $M$ be a compact hyperkaehler manifold. The hyperkaehler structure equips $M$ with a set $R$ of complex structures parametrized by $CP^1$, called "the set of induced complex structures". It was known previously that induced complex…

In general, some of the well known results of measure theory dealing with the convergence of sequences of functions such as the Dominated Convergence Theorem or the Monotone Convergence Theorem are not true when we consider arbitrary nets…

We show (in ZFC) that the cardinality of a compact homogeneous space of countable tightness is no more than the size of the continuum.

For simply-laced quivers, we consider the fixed-point subalgebra of the quiver Hecke algebra under the homogeneous sign map. This leads to a new family of algebras we call alternating quiver Hecke algebras. We give a basis theorem and a…

We consider an inhomogeneous quantum supergroup which leaves invariant a supersymmetric particle algebra. The quantum sub-supergroups of this inhomogeneous quantum supergroup are investigated.

In this paper we show that, for a class of countable graphs, every representation of the associated graph algebra in a separable Hilbert space is unitarily equivalent to a representation obtained via branching systems.

Non-alternating Hamiltonian Lie algebras in three variables over a perfect field of characteristic 2 are considered. A classification of non-alternating Hamiltonian forms over an algebra of divided powers in three variables and of the…

We show that every infinite crowded space can be mapped onto a homogeneous space of countable weight, and that there is a homogeneous space of weight continuum that cannot be mapped onto a homogeneous space of uncountable weight strictly…

Algebraic K-theory is the stable homotopy theory of homotopy theories, and it interacts with algebraic structures accordingly. In particular, we prove the Deligne Conjecture for algebraic K-theory.
