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…

We show that for a large class of actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright \mathcal{A}$ of $C^*$-simple groups $\Gamma$ on unital $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$, including any non-faithful action of a hyperbolic group with trivial amenable radical,…

Approximate morphisms have seen significant study across many areas of mathematics, for instance, in the theory of Absolute (Neighborhood) Retracts in topology, or of almost-commuting unitary matrices in analysis. This paper initiates study…

We give a number of examples of exotic actions of locally compact groups on separable nuclear C*-algebras. In particular, we give examples of the following: (1) Minimal effective actions of ${\mathbb{Z}}$ and $F_n$ on unital nonsimple prime…

For a free partial action of a group in a set we realize the associated partial skew group ring as an algebra of functions with finite support over an equivalence relation and we use this result to characterize the ideals in the partial…

As a generalization of the Exel-Pardo's notion of self-similar graph, we introduce self-similar group actions on ultragraphs and their $C^*$-algebras. We then approach to the $C^*$-algebras by inverse semigroup and tight groupoid models.

In this paper, we study partial actions of groups on $R$-algebras, where $R$ is a commutative ring. We describe the partial actions of groups on the indecomposable algebras with enveloping actions. Then we work on algebras that can be…

We study free and compact group actions on unital C*-algebras. In particular, we provide a complete classification theory of these actions for compact Abelian groups and explain its relation to the classical classification theory of…

We study two classes of operator algebras associated with a unital subsemigroup $P$ of a discrete group $G$: one related to universal structures, and one related to co-universal structures. First we provide connections between universal…

We introduce the notion of continuous orbit equivalence for partial dynamical systems, and give an equivalent characterization in terms of Cartan-isomorphisms for partial C*-crossed products. Both graph C*-algebras and semigroup C*-algebras…

We use the boundary-path space of a finitely-aligned k-graph \Lambda to construct a compactly-aligned product system X, and we show that the graph algebra C^*(\Lambda) is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra NO(X). In this setting,…

Partial dynamical systems (X,alpha) arise naturally when dealing with commutative C*-dynamical system (A,delta). We associate with every pair (X,alpha), or (A,delta), a covariance C*-algebra C*(X,alpha)=C*(A,delta) which agrees with a…

In a recent paper, Pardo and the first named author introduced a class of C*-algebras which which are constructed from an action of a group on a graph. This class was shown to include many C*-algebras of interest, including all Kirchberg…

This paper deals with the extension of partial actions of topological groups on topological spaces. Within this framework, we introduce a class of topological embeddings defined via the inverse semigroup of homeomorphisms between open…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We introduce a concept, which we call the $n$-filling property, for an action of a group on a separable unital $C^*$-algebra $A$. If $A=C(\Omega)$ is a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra and the action is…

Given a one-sided subshift $X$ on a finite alphabet, we consider the semigroup $S_X =L_X \cup \{0\}$, where $L_X $ is the language of $X $, equipped with the multiplication operation given by concatenation, when allowed, and set to vanish…

We study a simple subclass of free actions of non-Abelian groups on unital C*-algebras, namely cleft actions. These are characterized by the fact that the associated noncommutative vector bundles are trivial. In particular, we provide a…
