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…

The study of existence of a universal $C^*$-completion of the $^*$-algebra canonically associated to a Hecke pair was initiated by Hall, who proved that the Hecke algebra associated to $(\operatorname{SL}_2(\Qp), \operatorname{SL}_2(\Zp))$…

We investigate left and right co-Frobenius coalgebras and give equivalent characterizations which prove statements dual to the characterizations of Frobenius algebras. We prove that a coalgebra is left and right co-Frobenius if and only if…

We prove that faithful traces on separable and nuclear C*-algebras in the UCT class are quasidiagonal. This has a number of consequences. Firstly, by results of many hands, the classification of unital, separable, simple and nuclear…

We conjecture that a unital C$^*$-algebra is a W$^*$-algebra if and only if each of its maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras is a W$^*$-algebra; this is a space-free analogue of a known result due to G.K. Pedersen. Our main result is a…

We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simple, non-elementary C*-algebra with a unique quasitrace and…

In previous work, the authors introduced the notion of Q-Koszul algebras, as a tool to "model" module categories for semisimple algebraic groups over fields of large characteristics. Here we suggest the model extends to small…

We continue our investigation, from \cite{dh}, of the ring-theoretic infiniteness properties of ultrapowers of Banach algebras, studying in this paper the notion of being purely infinite. It is well known that a $C^*$-algebra is purely…

Algebras associated with Quantum Electrodynamics and other gauge theories share some mathematical features with T-duality Exploiting this different perspective and some category theory, the full algebra of fermions and bosons can be…

In 2014, Rieffel introduced norms on certain unital C*-algebras built from conditional expectations onto unital C*-subalgebras. We begin by showing that these norms generalize the Frobenius norm, and we provide explicit formulas for certain…

For every $p\geq 2$, we give a characterization of positive definite functions on a free group with finitely many generators, which can be extended to the positive linear functionals on the free group $C^*$-algebra associated with the ideal…

Using the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, we develop a K-theory formula for reduced C*-algebras of strongly $0$-$E$-unitary inverse semigroups, or equivalently, for certain reduced partial crossed products. In the case of…

The aim of this note is to generalize the notion of Fredholm operator to an arbitrary $C^*$-algebra. Namely, we define "finite type" elements in an axiomatic way, and also we define Fredholm type element $a$ as such element of a given…

Let $F$ be the Fibonacci matrix $ \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 1 1 & 0 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr] $. The Fibonacci Dyck shift is a subshsystem of the Dyck shift $D_2$ constrained by the matrix $F$. Let ${{\frak L}^{Ch(D_F)}}$ be a…

Let G be an exceptional Lie group with a maximal torus T. Based on common properties in the Schubert presentation of the cohomology ring H*(G/T;F_{p}) DZ1, and concrete expressions of generalized Weyl invariants for G over F_{p}, we obtain…

We formulate two conjectures about etale cohomology and fundamental groups motivated by categoricity conjectures in model theory. One conjecture says that there is a unique Z-form of the etale cohomology of complex algebraic varieties, up…

Both boundary maps in K-theory are expressed in terms of surjections from projective C*-algebras to semiprojective C*-algebras.

Let $E$ be a finite directed graph with no sources or sinks and write $X_E$ for the graph correspondence. We study the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,Z):=\mathcal{T}(X_E,Z)/\mathcal{K}$ where $\mathcal{T}(X_E,Z)$ is the $C^*$-algebra generated by…

This article summarizes joint work with A. Alekseev (Geneva) on the Duflo isomorphism for quadratic Lie algebras. We describe a certain quantization map for Weil algebras, generalizing both the Duflo map and the quantization map for…

We introduce a family of $C^*$-correspondences $X_\alpha$ naturally associated to every ordinal graph $\Lambda$. When $\Lambda$ is a directed graph, $X_0$ is isomorphic to the usual $C^*$-correspondence associated to a graph. We show that…
