Nicolas Monod introduced the class of groups with the fixed-point property for cones, characterized by always admitting a non-zero fixed point whenever acting (suitably) on proper weakly complete cones. He proved that his class of groups…

Let $A$ be a separable, unital and exact $C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem. We prove uniqueness theorems up to unitary conjugacy for unital, full and nuclear maps from $A$ into ultraproducts of finite von Neumann…

Let D be a self-adjoint differential operator of Dirac type acting on sections in a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold M. Let H be a closed D-invariant subspace of the Hilbert space of square integrable sections. Suppose D…

This is a commentary on Teichm{\"u}ller's paper Ein Verschiebungssatz der quasikonformen Abbildung (A displacement theorem of quasiconformal mapping), published in 1944. We explain in detail how Teichm{\"u}ller solves the problem of finding…

The problem of expressing a selfadjoint element that is zero on every bounded trace as a finite sum (or a limit of sums) of commutators is investigated in the setting of C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension. Upper bounds -- in terms of…

This paper introduces a new approach to the non-normal Dixmier and Connes-Dixmier traces (introduced by Dixmier and adapted to non-commutative geometry by Connes) on a general Marcinkiewicz space associated with an arbitrary semifinite von…

We study the automorphism group of a unital, simple, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebra. In this paper, we generalize the results by the authors in \cite{pr_auto} to $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebras $\mathfrak{A}$ such that…

In this paper we prove a strengthening of a theorem of Chang, Weinberger and Yu on obstructions to the existence of positive scalar curvature metrics on compact manifolds with boundary. They construct a relative index for the Dirac…

We develop a rigorous evaluation of Dirac brackets for classical observables on the phase space of radiative gravitational modes at null infinity that naturally incorporates memory effects. Considering the Ashtekar-Streubel phase space,…

In this work, we introduce the concept of $C^{*}$-algebra valued asymetric metric space, the concept of forward and the concept of backward $C^{*}$ valued asymetric contractions. We discuss the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for a…

We study properties of C*-algebraic deformations of homogeneous spaces $G/\Gamma$ which are equivariant in the sense that they preserve the natural action of $G$ by left translation. The center is shown to be isomorphic to $C(G/G_\rho^0)$…

We separate the $AF$-algebras (correspondingly action of the countable groups on Cantor sets) onto two classes ---- "completely smooth" for which the set of all indecomposable traces (correspondingly list of all invariant ergodic measures)…

We study the approximative trace for individual elements in the Sobolev space $W^{1,p}(\Omega)$ for $1\le p\le\infty$. This notion of a trace was introduced for $p=2$ in [AtE11] in the setting of general open sets…

I show that quasidiagonality and AF embeddability are equivalent properties for traceless $\mathrm C^\ast$-algebras and are characterised in terms of the primitive ideal space. For nuclear $\mathrm C^\ast$-algebras the same characterisation…

We consider norms on a complex separable Hilbert space such that $\langle a\xi,\xi\rangle\leq\|\xi\|^2\leq\langle b\xi,\xi\rangle$ for positive invertible operators $a$ and $b$ that differ by an operator in the Schatten class. We prove that…

We extend theorems of Breuillard-Kalantar-Kennedy-Ozawa on unital reduced crossed products to the non-unital case under mild assumptions. As a result simplicity of C*-algebras is stable under taking reduced crossed product over discrete…

We introduce the notion of trace convexity for functions and respectively, for subsets of a compact topological space. This notion generalizes both classical convexity of vector spaces, as well as Choquet convexity for compact metric…

We give a structural characterisation of linear operators from one $C^\ast$% -algebra into another whose adjoints map extreme points of the dual ball onto extreme points. We show that up to a $\ast$-isomorphism, such a map admits of a…

In classical model theory, the Keisler--Shelah theorem establishes a fundamental connection between the elementary equivalence of structures and the isomorphism of their ultrapowers. Motivated by this, one may ask whether an analogous…

In recent years, the traditional notion of symmetry in quantum theory was expanded to so-called generalised or categorical symmetries, which, unlike ordinary group symmetries, may be non-invertible. This appears to be at odds with Wigner's…
