Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that every absolutely summing operator from $A$ into $\ell_2$ factors through a Hilbert space operator that belongs to the 4-Schatten- von Neumann class. We also provide finite dimensinal examples…

In the given article infinite order decompositions of C$^*$-algebras are investigated. We give complete proofs of the following statements: 1) If the order unit space $\sum_{\xi,\eta}^\oplus p_\xi Ap_\eta$ is monotone complete in $B(H)$…

Reduced HNN extensions of von Neumann algebras (as well as $C^*$-algebras) will be introduced, and their modular theory, factoriality and ultraproducts will be discussed. In several concrete settings, detailed analysis on them will be also…

Naimark's problem asks whether a C*-algebra that has only one irreducible *-representation up to unitary equivalence is isomorphic to the C*-algebra of compact operators on some (not necessarily separable) Hilbert space. This problem has…

We show that every separable simple tracially approximately divisible $C^*$-algebra has strict comparison, is either purely infinite, or has stable rank one. As a consequence, we show that every (non-unital) finite simple ${\cal Z}$-stable…

We discuss basic topological properties of unitary dual spaces of nilpotent Lie groups, using some ideas from operator algebras and their noncommutative dimension theory. The general results are illustrated by many examples.

In the paper we describe the C*-algebras of noncommutative spherical tight frames over some C*-algebras and then apply to study the noncommutative version of the universal classifying space.

A classification theorem is obtained for a class of unital simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras which exhausts all possible values of the Elliott invariant for unital stably finite simple separable amenable Z-stable C*-algebras.…

We give a short proof of a recent theorem of Ionescu which shows that the Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra of a certain correspondence associated to a Mauldin-Williams graph is isomorphic to the graph algebra.

We give an example of a simple separable C*-algebra which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Our example is nonnuclear and stably finite, has real rank zero and stable rank one, and has a unique tracial state. It has trivial K_1,…

For elements $a, b$ of a C*-algebra we denote $a=ab$ by $a\ll b$. We show that all $\omega_1$-unital C*-algebras have $\ll$-increasing approximate units, extending a classical result for $\sigma$-unital C*-algebras. We also construct (in…

We compute the noncommutative deformations of a family of modules over the first Weyl algebra. This example shows some important properties of noncommutative deformation theory that separates it from commutative deformation theory.

We classify the unital embeddings of a unital separable nuclear $C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem into a unital simple separable nuclear $C^*$-algebra that tensorially absorbs the Jiang--Su algebra. This gives a new…

In the setting of von Neumann algebras, measurable quantum groupoids have successfully been axiomatized and studied by Enock, Vallin, and Lesieur, whereas in the setting of $C^{*}$-algebras, a similar theory of locally compact quantum…

We prove that a discrete group $G$ is amenable iff it is strongly unitarizable in the following sense: every unitarizable representation $\pi$ on $G$ can be unitarized by an invertible chosen in the von Neumann algebra generated by the…

In this paper, the $C^*$-algebra of the seven-dimensional un-decomposable nilpotent Lie group is characterized explicitly for the first time(see \cite{chin}). Furthermore, the topology of its spectrum is described as a preparation for the…

Weyl-von Neumann Theorem asserts that two bounded self-adjoint operators $A,B$ on a Hilbert space $H$ are unitarily equivalent modulo compacts, i.e., $uAu^*+K=B$ for some unitary $u\in \mathcal{U}(H)$ and compact self-adjoint operator $K$,…

We study the relationship between operator algebras, $C^*$ and von Neumann, acting on a Hilbert space and unitary representations of topological groups on the same space. We obtain certain correspondences between both these families of…

We prove that every unital C*-algebra $A$ has the Mazur--Ulam property. Namely, every surjective isometry from the unit sphere $S_A$ of $A$ onto the unit sphere $S_Y$ of another normed space $Y$ extends to a real linear map. This extends…

In this paper we consider permutations of sequences of partitions, obtaining a result which parallels von Neumann's theorem on permutations of dense sequences and uniformly distributed sequences of points.
