We introduce a method to define $C^*$-algebras from $C^*$-correspondences. Our construction generalizes Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-modules, and graph algebras.

Let $B \subset A$ be a depth $2$ inclusion of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of index-finite type. We show that the second relative commutant $B' \cap A_1$ carries a canonical structure of a weak $C^*$-Hopf…

In this paper, we study a family of $C^*$-subalgebras defined by fixed points of generalized gauge actions of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra, by introducing a family of \'etale groupoids whose associated $C^*$-algebras are these $C^*$-subalgebras.…

We define a C*-hull for a *-algebra, given a notion of integrability for its representations on Hilbert modules. We establish a local-global principle which, in many cases, characterises integrable representations on Hilbert modules through…

The note is concerned with inductive systems of Toeplitz algebras and their $*$-homomorphisms over arbitrary partially ordered sets. The Toeplitz algebra is the reduced semigroup $C^*$-algebra for the additive semigroup of non-negative…

We define centrally large subalgebras of simple unital C*-algebras, strengthening the definition of large subalgebras in previous work. We prove that if A is any infinite dimensional simple separable unital C*-algebra which contains a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and $(X, \Gamma)$ a compact topological dynamical system. We study the question of the existence of an intermediate $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ $$C^{*}_{r}(\Gamma)<\mathcal{A}<C(X)\rtimes_r\Gamma,$$…

We show that a separable C*-algebra is an inductive limits of projective C*-algebras if and only if it has trivial shape, that is, if it is shape equivalent to the zero C*-algebra. In particular, every contractible C*-algebra is an…

C*-algebras generalizing Cuntz-Krieger algebras can be associated to hyperbolic homeomorphisms of compact metric spaces. They satisfy a non-commutative form of Spanier-Whitehead duality with respect to K-theory. We prove this for the case…

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…

We consider C*-algebras associated with stable and unstable equivalence in hyperbolic dynamical systems known as Smale spaces. These systems include shifts of finite type, in which case these C*-algebras are both AF-algebras. These algebras…

In this paper we generalize the notion of a $k$-graph into (countable) infinite rank. We then define our $C^*$-algebra in a similar way as in $k$-graph $C^*$-algebras. With this construction we are able to find analogues to the Gauge…

We introduce and study two-parameter subproduct and product systems of $C^*$-algebras as the operator-algebraic analogues of, and in relation to, Tsirelson's two-parameter product systems of Hilbert spaces. Using several inductive limit…

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely, the class of separable simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have…

A C*-algebra is determined to a great extent by the partial order of its commutative C*-algebras. We study order-theoretic properties of this dcpo. Many properties coincide: the dcpo is, equivalently, algebraic, continuous, meet-continuous,…

It was noticed recently that, given a metric space $(X,d_X)$, the equivalence classes of metrics on the disjoint union of the two copies of $X$ coinciding with $d_X$ on each copy form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$ with respect to…

We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…

The construction of the C*-algebra associated to a directed graph $E$ is extended to incorporate a family $C$ consisting of partitions of the sets of edges emanating from the vertices of $E$. These C*-algebras $C^*(E,C)$ are analyzed in…

Characterization of the *-subalgebras in the algebra of bounded operators acting on Hilbert space is presented. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a faithful representation in pre-Hilbert space of a *-algebra in terms of its…

We extend the Gelfand-Naimark duality of commutative C*-algebras, "A COMMUTATIVE C*-ALGEBRA -- A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE" to "A C*-ALGEBRA--A QUOTIENT OF A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE". Thus, a C*-algebra is isomorphic to the…
