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…

Uncountably many mutually non-isomorphic product systems (that is, continuous tensor products of Hilbert spaces) of types II-0 and III are constructed by probabilistic means (random sets and off-white noises), answering four questions of W.…

Recently, E.\ Kirchberg [K1--2] revived the study of pairs of $C^*$-algebras $A,B$ such that there is only one $C^*$-norm on the algebraic tensor product $A\otimes B$, or equivalently such that $A \otimes_{\rm min}B = A\otimes_{\rm max}B$.…

A triangular limit algebra A is isometrically isomorphic to the tensor algebra of a C*-correspondence if and only if its fundamental relation R(A) is a tree admitting a $Z^+_0$-valued continuous and coherent cocycle. For triangular limit…

We compute the two-cocycles (or multipliers) of the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ and give conditions for simplicity of the corresponding twisted group $C^*$-algebras. These groups are representation groups for…

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

We prove some isomorphisms between exceptional W-algebras associated with exceptional simple Lie algebras.

In this paper, we consider $\text{C}^*$-algebras with the ideal property (the ideal property unifies the simple and real rank zero cases). We define two categories related the invariants of the $\text{C}^*$-algebras with the ideal property.…

Building on recent work of Robertson and Steger, we associate a C*-algebra to a combinatorial object which may be thought of as a higher rank graph. This C*-algebra is shown to be isomorphic to that of the associated path groupoid.…

Say that a separable, unital C*-algebra D is strongly self-absorbing if there exists an isomorphism $\phi: D \to D \otimes D$ such that $\phi$ and $id_D \otimes 1_D$ are approximately unitarily equivalent $*$-homomorphisms. We study this…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring. We study tensor products involving a finitely generated $R$-module $M$ through the natural action of its endomorphism ring. In particular, we study torsion properties of self tensor products…

In this article, we show that the $C^*$-envelope of the minimal tensor product of two operator systems is isomorphic to the minimal tensor product of their $C^*$-envelopes. We do this by identifying the Silov boundary ideal of the minimal…

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…

We study w*-semicrossed products over actions of the free semigroup and the free abelian semigroup on (possibly non-selfadjoint) w*-closed algebras. We show that they are reflexive when the dynamics are implemented by uniformly bounded…

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…

We describe the $C^*$-algebra of an $E$-unitary or strongly 0-$E$-unitary inverse semigroup as the partial crossed product of a commutative $C^*$-algebra by the maximal group image of the inverse semigroup. We give a similar result for the…

We construct a simple, nuclear, stably projectionless C*-algebra W which has trivial K-theory and a unique tracial state, and we investigate the extent to which W might fit into the hierarchy of strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras as an…

We investigate free products of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with amalgamation over diagonal subalgebras. We look to determine under what circumstances a given free product is exact and/or nuclear. In some cases we find a description…

A braided category of C*-algebras is constructed. Its objects are C*-algebras endowed with an action of the group R, its morphisms are C*-algebras morphisms intertwining the action of R, the crossed product of its two objects essentially…

In this paper we study the C*-envelope of the (non-self-adjoint) tensor algebra associated via subproduct systems to a finite irreducible stochastic matrix $P$. Firstly, we identify the boundary representations of the tensor algebra inside…
