We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

We prove that the central sequence algebra of a separable C*-algebra is either subhomogeneous or non-exact, confirming a conjecture of Enders and Shulman. We also prove analogous dichotomy for other massive C*-algebras.

We prove the following two results. \begin{enumerate} \item Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital commutative C*-algebra and $\mathcal{A}^d$ be the standard Hilbert C*-module over $\mathcal{A}$. Let $n\geq d$. If $\{\tau_j\}_{j=1}^n$ is any…

We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the…

We prove the longstanding physics conjecture that there exists a unique two-parameter $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$-algebra which is freely generated of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots)$, and generated by the weights $2$ and $3$ fields. Subject to…

For any two complex numbers $a$ and $b$, $\mathcal{V} ir(a,b)$ is a central extension of $\mathcal{W}(a,b)$ which is universal in the case $(a,b)\neq (0,1)$, where $\mathcal{W}(a,b)$ is the Lie algebra with basis $\{L_n,W_n\mid n\in\Z\}$…

We introduce a class of generalized universal irrational rotation $C^*$-algebras $A_{\theta,\gamma}=C^*(x,w)$ which is characterized by the relations $w^*w=ww^*=1$, $x^*x=\gamma(w)$, $xx^*=\gamma(e^{-2\pi i\theta}w)$, and $xw=e^{-2\pi…

We present a class of subshifts $Z_N, N = 1,2,...$ whose associated $C^*$-algebras ${\cal O}_{Z_N}$ are simple, purely infinite and not stably isomorphic to any Cuntz-Krieger algebra nor to Cuntz algebra. The class of the subshifts is the…

We prove that for $\delta$ small, $n$ large, and any three conjugacy classes $C_{1},C_{2},C_{3}$ of $G=\mathrm{Alt}(n)$ of size at least $|G|^{1-\delta}$ we have $C_{1}C_{2}C_{3}=G$. The result provides a positive answer to Problem 20.23 of…

C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…

It was discovered some years ago that there exist non-integer real numbers $q>1$ for which only one sequence $(c_i)$ of integers $c_i \in [0,q)$ satisfies the equality $\sum_{i=1}^\infty c_iq^{-i}=1$. The set of such "univoque numbers" has…

In the given article it is introduced new notions of a C$^*$-algebra of von Neumann type I and C$^*$-algebras of types I$_n$, II, II$_1$, II$_\infty$ and III. It is proved that any GCR-algebra is a C$^*$-algebra of von Neumann type I, and a…

In this paper we study combinatorial aspects of permutations of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and related topics. In particular, we prove that there is a unique permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that all the numbers $k+\pi(k)$ ($k=1,\ldots,n$)…

We present a classification theorem for amenable simple stably projectionless C*-algebras with generalized tracial rank one whose $K_0$ vanish on traces which satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. One of them is denoted by ${\cal Z}_0$…

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 answer the title question for sigma-unital C*-algebras. The answer is that the algebra must be the direct sum of a dual C*-algebra and a C*-algebra satisfying a certain local unitality condition. We also discuss similar problems in the…

We prove that for any positive integer c there are at least N(c), $1\leq N(c) < \phi(c)/2$ representations of c as a sum of two positive integers a, b, with no common divisor, such that the N(c) radicals R(abc) are all greater than kc,…

We prove that Z-stable, simple, separable, nuclear, non-unital C*-algebras have nuclear dimension at most 1. This completes the equivalence between finite nuclear dimension and Z-stability for simple, separable, nuclear, non-elementary…

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.…

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is sigma-unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK\crt(\R, B) = K\crt(B). United KK-theory contains real, complex, and self-conjugate…
