In this paper, we construct, for a certain class of semigroup dynamical systems, two operator algebras that are universal with respect to their corresponding covariance conditions: one being self-adjoint, and another being non-self-adjoint.…
This paper is a survey of our recent work on operator algebras associated to dynamical systems that lead to classification results for the systems in terms of algebraic invariants of the operator algebras.
These are detailed notes for a lecture on "Non-associative Algebraic Structures: Classification and Structure" which I presented as a part of my Agrega\c{c}\~ao em Matem\'atica e Applica\c{c}\~oes (University of Beira Interior, Covilh\~a,…
This is a survey of four recent papers which deal with the relationship of simple C*-algebras to the problem of computing the spectra of self-adjoint operators in the general case, especially when the spectrum is not discrete. It is an…
We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism, and as a groupoid…
This paper surveys the recent advances in the interactions between symbolic dynamics and C*-algebras. We explain how conjugacies and orbit equivalences of both two-sided (invertible) and one-sided (noninvertible) symbolic systems may be…
We characterize when a C*-cover admits a C*-dynamical extension of dynamics on an operator algebra in terms of the boundary ideal structure for the operator algebra in its maximal representation and show that the C*-covers that admit such…
We discuss and develop some connections between analysis on singular spaces and operator algebras, as presented in my sequence of four lectures at the conference "Noncommutative geometry and applications," Frascati, Italy, June 16-21, 2014.…
We study non-selfadjoint operator algebras that can be entirely understood via their finite-dimensional representations. In contrast with the elementary matricial description of finite-dimensional $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, in the…
In this paper, we show that the lattice of C*-covers of a non-selfadjoint operator algebra is either one point or uncountable. We prove that there are non-selfadjoint operator algebras with a one-point lattice in two ways: as an explicit…
Let $\sS$ be a countable, abelian semigroup of continuous surjections on a compact metric space $X$. Corresponding to this dynamical system we associate two operator algebras, the tensor algebra, and the semicrossed product. There is a…
An operator *-algebra is a non-selfadjoint operator algebra with completely isometric involution. We show that any operator *-algebra admits a faithful representation on a Hilbert space in such a way that the involution coincides with the…
We study the Wold decomposition for representations of a self-similar semigroup $P$ action on a directed graph $E$. We then apply this decomposition to the case where $P=\mathbb{N}$ to study the C*-envelope of the associated universal…
A new homology is defined for a non-self-adjoint operator algebra and distinguished masa which is based upon cycles and boundaries associated with complexes of partial isometries in the stable algebra. Under natural hypotheses the zeroth…
We continue our study of the general theory of possibly nonselfadjoint algebras of operators on a Hilbert space, and modules over such algebras, developing a little more technology to connect `nonselfadjoint operator algebra' with the…
Since their inception in the 30's by von Neumann, operator algebras have been used in shedding light in many mathematical theories. Classification results for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint operator algebras manifest this approach, but a…
We study operator algebras associated to integral domains. In particular, with respect to a set of natural identities we look at the possible nonselfadjoint operator algebras which encode the ring structure of an integral domain. We show…
We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators…
This text is a slightly expanded version of my 6 hour mini-course at the PDE-meeting in \'Evian-les-Bains in June 2009. The first part gives some old and recent results on non-self-adjoint differential operators. The second part is devoted…
We generalize some facts about function algebras to operator algebras, using the `noncommutative Shilov boundary' or $C^*$-envelope first considered by Arveson. In the first part we study and characterize complete isometries between…
