We develop a general framework to deal with the unitary representations of quantum groups using the language of C*-algebras. Using this framework, we prove that the duality holds in a general context. This extends the framework of the…

We associate a non-commutative $C^*$-algebra with any locally finite simplicial complex. We determine the $K$-theory of these algebras and show that they can be used to obtain a conceptual explanation for the Baum-Connes conjecture.

We prove that C*-algebras which, as Banach spaces, are Grothendieck cannot be decomposed into a tensor product of two infinite-dimensional C*-algebras. By a result of Pfitzner, this class contains all von Neumann algebras and their…

We derive faithful inclusions of C*-algebras from a coend-type construction in unitary tensor categories. This gives rise to different potential notions of discreteness for an inclusion in the non-irreducible case, and provides a unified…

Richard Kadison showed that not every commutative von Neumann subalgebra of a factor von Neumann algebra is equal to its relative double commutant. We prove that every commutative C*-subalgebra of a centrally prime C*-algebra $B$ equals its…

We introduce a new class of C^*-algebras, which is a generalization of both graph algebras and homeomorphism C^*-algebras. This class is very large and also very tractable. We prove the so-called gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the…

Recently, we have constructed a non{linear (polynomial) extension of the 1-mode Heisenberg group and the corresponding Fock and Weyl representations. The transition from the 1-mode case to the current algebra level, in which the operators…

An extension of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman theorem to a class of non-commutative dynamical systems is given.

Given two unital C*-algebras equipped with states and a positive operator in the enveloping von Neumann algebra of their minimal tensor product, we define three parameters that measure the capacity of the operator to align with a coupling…

We find an elementary proof for Voiculescu's theorem on the polar decomposition of circular variables.

It is established that every (not necessarily linear) 2-local $^*$-homomorphism from a von Neumann algebra into a C$^*$-algebra is linear and a $^*$-homomorphism. In the setting of (not necessarily linear) 2-local $^*$-homomorphism from a…

The similarity problem is one of the most famous open problems in the theory of $C^*$-algebras. We say that a $C^*$-algebra $\cl A$ satisfies the similarity property ((SP) for short) if every bounded homomorphism $u\colon \cl A\to \cl B(H)$…

In this paper an automorphism of a unital C*-algebra is said to be /locally inner/ if on any element it agrees with some inner automorphism. We make a fairly complete study of local innerness in von Neumann algebras, incorporating…

Suppose $g=g_0+g_1$ is a finite-dimensional restricted Lie superalgebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>2$. In this article, we propose a conjecture for maximal dimensions of irreducible modules over the…

We study nonunital $C^*$-algebras such that for any element there exists a local unit and prove that in such algebras there are no frames. This fact was previously known only for commutative algebras. Among other results, we establish some…

We give an explicit injective representation of the universal $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra that is generated by doubly non-commuting isometries. This injectivity allows us to prove that such universal algebras embed naturally into each other…

By the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, any C*-algebra is isometrically isomorphic to a *-algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space which is closed with respect to the topology induced by the operator norm. Hence, the C*-algebras furnish an…

We say that a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ satisfies the similarity property ((SP)) if every bounded homomorphism $u\colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}(\mathit{H})$, where $\mathit{H}$ is a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We…

J. Renault has recently found a generalization of the caracterization of C*-diagonals obtained by A. Kumjian in the eighties, which in turn is a C*-algebraic version of J. Feldman and C. Moore's well known Theorem on Cartan subalgebras of…

We say that a C*-algebra is nowhere scattered if none of its quotients contains a minimal open projection. We characterize this property in various ways, by topological properties of the spectrum, by divisibility properties in the Cuntz…
