Let $\Delta$ be an infinite, locally finite tree with more than two ends. Let $\Gamma<\aut(\Delta)$ be an acylindrical uniform lattice. Then the boundary algebra $\cl A_\Gamma = C(\partial\Delta)\rtimes \Gamma$ is a simple Cuntz-Krieger…

We prove the existence of a strict deformation quantization for the canonical Poisson structure on the dual of an integrable Lie algebroid. It follows that any Lie groupoid C*-algebra may be regarded as a result of a quantization procedure.…

Our main result provides a closed expression for the completely bounded Fourier multiplier norm of the spherical functions on the generalized Lorentz groups. As a corollary, we find that there is no uniform bound on the completely bounded…

We show that it is consistent with ZFC that there is a simple nuclear non-separable C*-algebra which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. We can furthermore guarantee that this example is an inductive limit of unital copies of the…

Let H be a subgroup of some locally compact group G. Assume H is approximable by discrete subgroups and G admits neighborhood bases which are "almost-invariant" under conjugation by finite subsets of H. Let $m: G \to \mathbb{C}$ be a…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

We solve a class of lifting problems involving approximate polynomial relations (soft polynomial relations). Various associated C*-algebras are therefore projective. The technical lemma we need is a new manifestation of Akemann and…

Let Gamma be a discrete group satisfying the rapid decay property with respect to a length function which is conditionally negative. Then the reduced C*-algebra of Gamma has the metric approximation property. The central point of our proof…

We prove that for every exact discrete group $\Gamma$, there is an intermediate C*-algebra between the reduced group C*-algebra and the intersection of the group von Neumann algebra and the uniform Roe algebra which is realized as the…

In this paper, we introduce a new technique in the study of the $*$-regular closure of some specific group algebras $KG$ inside $\mathcal{U}(G)$, the $*$-algebra of unbounded operators affiliated to the group von Neumann algebra…

On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…

We study sufficient conditions under which a nowhere scattered C*-algebra $A$ has a nowhere scattered multiplier algebra $\mathcal{M}(A)$, that is, we study when $\mathcal{M}(A)$ has no nonzero, elementary ideal-quotients. In particular, we…

For all transcendental parameters, the irrational rotation algebra is shown to contain infinitely many C*-subalgebras satisfying the following properties. Each subalgebra is isomorphic to a direct sum of two matrix algebras of the same…

In 2010, Lafforgue and de la Salle gave examples of noncommutative Lp-spaces without the operator space approximation property (OAP) and, hence, without the completely bounded approximation property (CBAP). To this purpose, they introduced…

We compute the K-theory of a collection of C*-algebras, which we refer to as boundary C*-algebras, arising as the crossed product C*-algebras of lattice actions on the maximal Furstenberg boundaries of symmetric spaces of noncompact type.…

Let $1 \in A \subset B$ be an inclusion of unital C*-algebras of index-finite type and depth 2. Suppose that $A$ is infinite dimensional simple with $tsr(A) = 1$ and SP-property. Then $tsr(B) \leq 2$. As a corollary when $A$ is a simple…

We characterise the strictly closed left invariant C*-subalgebras of the C*-algebra C_b(G) of bounded continuous functions on a locally compact group G. On the dual side, we characterise the strictly closed invariant C*-subalgebras of the…

We discuss just infiniteness of C*-algebras associated to discrete quantum groups and relate it to the C*-uniqueness of the quantum groups in question, i.e. to the uniqueness of a C*-completion of the underlying Hopf *-algebra. It is shown…

This is a complement to our previous paper on the arxiv on quantum expanders and geometry of operator spaces. We show that there is a non-exact $C^*$-algebra that is 1-subexponential, and we give several other complements to the results of…

We say that a C*-algebra is nowhere scattered if none of its quotients contains a minimal open projection. We characterize this property in various ways, by topological properties of the spectrum, by divisibility properties in the Cuntz…
