We prove that the unitary equivalence classes of extensions of C*_r(G) by any sigma-unital stable C"-algebra, taken modulo extensions which split via an asymptotic homomorphism, form a group which can be calculated from the universal…

The paper presents a detailed description of the K-theory and K-homology of C*-algebras generated by q-normal operators including generators and the index pairing. The C*-algebras generated by q-normal operators can be viewed as a…

Let $SL_{2n}$, $Sp_{2n}$, $E_6 = G^{sc}(E_6)$, $F_4 = G(F_4)$ be simply connected split algebraic groups over an arbitrary field $F$. Algebraic K-theory of affine homogeneous varieties $SL_{2n}/Sp_{2n}$ and $E_6/F_4$ is computed. Moreover,…

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…

In this paper, we study Mabuchi's K-energy on a compactification M of a reductive Lie group G, which is a complexification of its maximal compact subgroup K. We give a criterion for the properness of K-energy on the space of K \times…

Let G be a simply connected compact Lie group and T its maximal torus. We compute the graded ring gr_{gamma}(G/T) associated with the gamma filtration of the complex K-theory K(G/T). We use the Chow ring of the corresponding versal flag…

We introduce filtered algebraic $K$-theory of a ring $R$ relative to a sublattice of ideals. This is done in such a way that filtered algebraic $K$-theory of a Leavitt path algebra relative to the graded ideals is parallel to the gauge…

We obtain a characterization in terms of dynamical systems of those r-discrete groupoids for which the groupoid C*-algebra is approximately finite-dimensional (AF). These ideas are then used to compute the K-theory for AF algebras by…

We show that the classification of the symmetric spaces can be achieved by K-theoretical methods. We focus on Hermitian symmetric spaces of non-compact type, and define K-theory for JB*-triples along the lines of C*-theory. K-groups have to…

We use a recent result by Cuntz, Echterhoff and Li about the K-theory of certain reduced C*-crossed products to describe the K-theory of C*_r(S) when S is an inverse semigroup satisfying certain requirements. A result of Milan and Steinberg…

It is determined exactly which classifiable C*-algebras have approximately inner flip. The answer includes a number of C*-algebras with torsion in their K-theory, and a number of C*-algebras that are self-absorbing but not strongly…

Using a result of Vdovina, we may associate to each complete connected bipartite graph $\kappa$ a $2$-dimensional square complex, which we call a tile complex, whose link at each vertex is $\kappa$. We regard the tile complex in two…

This survey paper is an expanded version of lectures given at the Clay Mathematics Academy ; see http://www.claymath.org/programs/outreach/academy/colloquium2005.php These lectures were intended to very young (and motivated) college…

Quantitative (or controlled) $K$-theory for $C^*$-algebras was used by Guoliang Yu in his work on the Novikov conjecture, and later developed more formally by Yu together with Herv\'e Oyono-Oyono. In this paper, we extend their work by…

We present an operator-algebraic approach to the quantization and reduction of lattice field theories. Our approach uses groupoid C*-algebras to describe the observables and exploits Rieffel induction to implement the quantum gauge…

We develop a operator algebraic model for twisted $K$-theory, which includes the most general twistings as a generalized cohomology theory (i.e. all those classified by the unit spectrum $bgl_1(KU)$). Our model is based on strongly…

This is a survey paper about representation theory and noncommutative geometry of reductive p-adic groups G. The main focus points are: 1. The structure of the Hecke algebra H(G), the Harish-Chandra-Schwartz algebra S(G) and the reduced…

We introduce a new method of expressing a $k$-graph $C^*$-algebra as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. Kumjian, Pask, and Sims have done this directly, using a linking algebra approach and a $(k-1)$-graph algebra. This can be iterated downward. Our…

We show that the K-theory spectra of many assemblers, such as the assembler of polytopes in euclidean, hyperbolic or spherical geometry, as well as the assembler of definable sets, are equivalent to the K-theory spectrum of a squares…

Quantum groupoids are a joint generalization of groupoids and quantum groups. We propose a definition of a compact quantum groupoid that is based on the theory of C*-algebras and Hilbert bimodules. The essential point is that whenever one…
