We investigate free products of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with amalgamation over diagonal subalgebras. We look to determine under what circumstances a given free product is exact and/or nuclear. In some cases we find a description…
Given reduced amalgamated free products of C$^*$-algebras, $(A,phi)=*_i(A_i,phi_i)$ and $(D,psi)=*_i(D_i,psi_i)$, an embedding $A\to D$ is shown to exist assuming there are conditional expectation preserving embeddings $A_i\to D_i$. This…
In the reduced free product of C*-algebras (A,phi)=(A_1,phi_1)*(A_2,phi_2), A is shown to be purely infinite and simple under the hypothesis that A_1 is the crossed product of a C*-algebra by a discrete infinite group, phi_1 is well behaved…
Let $A$ be a homogeneous C*-algebra and $\phi$ a state on $A.$ We show that if $\phi$ satisfies a certain faithfulness condition, then there is a net of finite-rank, unital completely positive, $\phi$-preserving maps on $A$ that tend to the…
Certain reduced free products of C*-algebras, (A,phi)=(A_1,phi_1)*(A_2,\phi_2), taken with respect to faithful states, at least one of which is not a trace, are shown to be purely infinite and simple. It is assumed that one of the A_i…
We examine the question of when the *-homomorphism of full amalgamated free product C*-algebras \lambda: A *_D B --> A' *_{D'} B', arising from compatible inclusions of C*-algebras A in A', B in B' and D in D', is an embedding. Results…
We study selflessness in the general setting of reduced free products of $C^*$-algebras. Towards this end, we develop a suitable theory of rapid decay for filtrations in arbitrary $C^*$-probability spaces. We provide several natural…
A necessary and sufficient condition for the simplicity of the C*-algebra reduced free product of finite dimensional abelian algebras is found, and it is proved that the stable rank of every such free product is 1. Related results about…
Some completely positive maps on reduced amalgamated free products of C*-algebras are constructed; these allow a proof that the class of exact unital C*-algebras is closed under taking reduced amalgamated free products. Consequently, the…
We prove that any separable exact C*-algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_2.$ We further prove that if $A$ is a simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra, then ${\cal O}_2 \otimes A \cong {\cal O}_2,$ and…
We prove that an amalgamated free product of separable commutative C*-algebras is residually finite-dimensional.
We prove that the crossed product $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(\Gamma,\partial\Gamma)$ of a free group $\Gamma$ with its boundary $\partial\Gamma$ naturally sits between the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r\Gamma$ and its injective envelope…
In this memoir we develop a framework to study rigidity problems for Roe-like C*-algebras of countably generated coarse spaces. The main goal is to give a complete and self-contained solution to the problem of C*-rigidity for proper…
We find a necessary and sufficient conditions for the simplicity and uniqueness of trace for reduced free products of finite families of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with specified traces on them.
We give a framework to produce C*-algebra inclusions with extreme properties. This gives the first constructive nuclear minimal ambient C*-algebras. We further obtain a purely infinite analogue of Dadarlat's modeling theorem on AF-algebras:…
Bundles of C*-algebras can be used to represent limits of physical theories whose algebraic structure depends on the value of a parameter. The primary example is the $\hbar\to 0$ limit of the C*-algebras of physical quantities in quantum…
The simplest case of a manifold with singularities is a manifold M with boundary, together with an identification of the boundary with a product M1 x P, where P is a fixed manifold. The associated singular space is obtained by collapsing P…
We will study some modifications to the notion of an exact C*-algebra by replacing the minimal tensor product with the reduced free product. First we will demonstrate how the reduced free product of a short exact sequence of C*-algebras…
Examples of simple, separable, unital, purely infinite $C^*$--algebras are constructed, including: (1) some that are not approximately divisible; (2) those that arise as crossed products of any of a certain class of $C^*$--algebras by any…
A notion of unique ergodicity relative to the fixed-point subalgebra is defined for automorphisms of unital C*-algebras. It is proved that the free shift on any reduced amalgamated free product C*-algebra is uniquely ergodic relative to its…
