We explore the finite-dimensional part of the non-commutative Choquet boundary of an operator algebra. In other words, we seek finite-dimensional boundary representations. Such representations may fail to exist even when the underlying…

We prove that the space $\mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A})$ of pure states of a nonelementary, simple, separable, real rank zero $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ has trivial homotopy groups of all orders when $\mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A})$ is equipped…

We discuss when a unital homomorphism {\phi} : C(X) \rightarrow A can be approximated by finite-dimensional homomorphisms, where X is a compact metric space and A is unital simple C*-algebra with tracial rank one. In this paper, we will…

In the paper, we give two new characterizations of separable inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras. Base on these characterizations, we show that a unital full free product of two inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras is inner quasidiagonal again. As…

We prove the long-standing conjecture on the coset construction of the minimal series principal $W$-algebras of $ADE$ types in full generality. We do this by first establishing Feigin's conjecture on the coset realization of the universal…

Let $j:Y \to X$ be a continuous surjection of compact metric spaces. Whyburn proved that $j$ is irreducible, meaning that $j(F) \subsetneq X$ for any proper closed subset $F \subsetneq Y$, if and only if $j$ is almost one-to-one, in the…

An extension of algebras is a homomorphism of algebras preserving identities. We use extensions of algebras to study the finitistic dimension conjecture over Artin algebras. Let $f: B \to A$ be an extension of Artin algebras. We denote by…

The main result concerns a sigma-unital C*-algebra A, a strongly lower semicontinuous element h of A**, the enveloping von Neumann algebra, and the set of self-adjoint elements a of A such that a \le h - delta 1 for some delta > 0, where 1…

An almost disjoint family $\mathcal A$ of subsets of $\mathbb N$ is said to be $\mathbb R$-embeddable if there is a function $f:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb R$ such that the sets $f[A]$ are ranges of real sequences converging to distinct…

We study non-linear traces of Choquet type on AF algebras. Building on the characterization of Choquet traces on matrix algebras due to Nagisa--Watatani, we generalize the construction to arbitrary unital AF algebras. We show that there is…

In this note, we will show that the twisted convolution algebra $L^1_{\alpha,\omega}({\sf G},\mathfrak A)$ associated to a twisted action of a locally compact group ${\sf G}$ on a $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak A$ has the following property:…

A relatively compressed algebra with given socle degrees is an Artinian quotient $A$ of a given graded algebra $R/\fc$, whose Hilbert function is maximal among such quotients with the given socle degrees. For us $\fc$ is usually a…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $H$ be a Hilbert $A$-module and $K(H)$ be the closure of the set of finite rank module maps. We show that the $W^*$-algebra of all bounded $A^{**}$-module maps on the smallest self-dual Hilbert $A^{**}$-module…

An extension $B\subset A$ of finite dimensional algebras is bounded if the $B$-$B$-bimodule $A/B$ is $B$-tensor nilpotent, its projective dimension is finite and $\mathrm{Tor}_i^B(A/B, (A/B)^{\otimes_B j})=0$ for all $i, j\geq 1$. We show…

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…

Let A be a C*-algebra. It is shown that A is an AW*-algebra if, and only if, each maximal abelian self--adjoint subalgebra of A is monotone complete. An analogous result is proved for Rickart C*-algebras; a C*-algebra is a Rickart…

Assume $X$ is a variety over $\mathbb{C}$, $A \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra and $X_A$ a model of $X$ (i.e. $X_A \times_A \mathbb{C} \cong X$). Assuming the weak ordinarity conjecture we show that there…

We give the first examples of \'etale (non-Hausdorff) groupoids $\mathcal G$ whose $C^*$-algebras contain singular elements that cannot be approximated by singular elements in $\mathcal C_c(\mathcal G)$. We provide two examples: one is a…

Given a finite set $\mathcal{A} \subseteq \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ we study the dimension of the attractor $K_\mathcal{A}$ of the iterated function system induced by the projective action of $\mathcal{A}$. In particular, we generalise a…

In this paper we investigate three unsolved conjectures in geometric combinatorics, namely Falconer's distance set conjecture, the dimension of Furstenburg sets, and Erdos's ring conjecture. We formulate natural $\delta$-discretized…
