The second author showed how Katsura's construction of the C*-algebra of a topological graph E may be twisted by a Hermitian line bundle L over the edge space E. The correspondence defining the algebra is obtained as the completion of the…

Assume that A is a unital separable simple C*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one, strict comparison of projections, and that its tracial simplex T(A) has a finite number of extremal points. We prove that every self-adjoint element…

The paper presents a criterion for a C*-algebra to be a coefficient algebra associated with a given endomorphism

Determining the range of complex maps plays a fundamental role in the study of several complex variables and operator theory. In particular, one is often interested in determining when a given holomorphic function is a self-map of the unit…

We propose the notion of countable decomposability of maps on C*-algebras: a bounded linear map $\varphi : \mathscr{A}\to B(\mathcal{H})$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is a C*-algebra and $\mathcal{H}$ a Hilbert space, will be called countably…

We prove that every Jordan left $\alpha$-centralizer from an algebra $A$ with a right identity into an arbitrary algebra $B$ is a left $\alpha$-centralizer. This implies all Jordan homomorphisms between such algebras are homomorphisms. We…

If A is a strongly noetherian graded algebra generated in degree one, then there is a canonically constructed graded ring homomorphism from A to a twisted homogeneous coordinate ring B(X, L, sigma), which is surjective in large degree. This…

We investigate the deformation of involution and multiplication in a unital $C^*$-algebra when its norm is fixed. Our main result is to present all multiplications and involutions on a given $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ under which…

Let $A$, $B$ be separable C*-algebras, $B$ stable. Elements of the E-theory group $E(A,B)$ are represented by asymptotic homomorphisms from the second suspension of $A$ to $B$. Our aim is to represent these elements by (families of) maps…

A well-known theorem of Blackadar and Handelman states that every unital stably finite C*-algebra has a bounded quasitrace. Rather strong generalizations of stable finiteness to the non-unital case can be obtained by either requiring the…

Following Robert's [26], we study the structure of unitary groups and groups of approximately inner automorphisms of unital $C^*$-algebras, taking advantage of the former being Banach-Lie groups. For a given unital $C^*$-algebra $A$, we…

For $\Omega\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ a connected open set, and ${\mathcal U}$ a unital $C^*$-algebra, let ${\mathcal I} ({\mathcal U})$ and ${\mathcal P}({\mathcal U})$ denote the sets of all idempotents and projections in ${\mathcal U}$…

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

We prove that if two nonzero homomorphisms from the Cuntz algebra O_infinity to a purely infinite simple C*-algebra have the same class in KK-theory, and if either both are unital or both are nonunital, then they are approximately unitarily…

A problem of completing a linear map on C*-algebras to a completely positive map is analyzed. It is shown that whenever such a completion is feasible there exists a unique minimal completion. This theorem is used to show that under some…

Bilinear maps and their classifying tensor products are well-known in the theory of linear algebra, and their generalization to algebras of commutative monads is a classical result of monad theory. Motivated by constructions needed in…

Let $A$ and $B$ be Banach algebras with bounded approximate identities and let $\Phi:A\to B$ be a surjective continuous linear map which preserves two-sided zero products (i.e., $\Phi(a)\Phi(b)=\Phi(b)\Phi(a)=0$ whenever $ab=ba=0$). We show…

Given an arbitrary countable ordinal $\alpha $, we introduce the notion of type $I_{\alpha }$ C*-algebra and $\alpha $-subhomogeneous C*-algebra. When $\alpha =0$, these recover the notions of Fell C*-algebra and of commutative C*-algebra,…

We construct holomorphic families of proper holomorphic embeddings of $\C^k$ into $\C^n$ ($0<k<n-1$), so that for any two different parameters in the family no holomorphic automorphism of $\C^n$ can map the image of the corresponding two…

We consider *-linear maps into a commutative C*-algebra C (X) of continuous functions on a locally compact Hausdorff space X with certain specified properties and prove two results: (1) an extension result for a class of *-linear maps Y -->…
