This is a survey paper about affine Hecke algebras. We start from scratch and discuss some algebraic aspects of their representation theory, referring to the literature for proofs. We aim in particular at the classification of irreducible…

Various generalizations of Cuntz algebras and their relations to symmetry and duality are reviewed. New generalized Cuntz algebras are associated with a subfactor. A characteristic Hilbert space of basic invariants (with respect to the…

Let $A \subseteq E$ be a given extension of Hopf (respectively Lie) algebras. We answer the \emph{classifying complements problem} (CCP) which consists of describing and classifying all complements of $A$ in $E$. If $H$ is a given…

We develop a theory of crossed products by "actions" of Hecke pairs $(G, \Gamma)$, motivated by applications in non-abelian $C^*$-duality. Our approach gives back the usual crossed product construction whenever $G / \Gamma$ is a group and…

In this announcement we explain how to extend the von Neumann algebra definition of fusion to the case of twisted loop groups. This project completes research started by my student Robert Verrill in his 2001 Cambridge Ph.D. thesis.

We compute the algebraic K-theory of the Hecke algebra of a reductive p-adic group G using the fact that the Farrell-Jones Conjecture is known in this context. The main tool will be the properties of the associated Bruhat-Tits building and…

In this paper we provide descriptions of the Whitehead groups with coefficients in a ring of the Hilbert modular group and its reduced version, as well as for the topological K-theory of $C^*$-algebras, after tensoring with $\mathbb{Q}$, by…

This is an extended and corrected version of the author's Diplomarbeit. A class of algebras called generic pro-$p$ Hecke algebras is introduced, enlarging the class of generic Hecke algebras by considering certain extensions of (extended)…

In this paper, a formula for the calculation of the number of right cosets contained in a double coset with respect to a unimodular group over a Dedekind domain is developed, and applications of this formula in the theory of congruence…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. We say that $A$ satisfies the SP if every bounded homomorphism $A\to B(K)$, with $K$ a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We introduce three hypotheses that relate to extending hyperreflexive…

Let K be a local non-archimedian field, F=K((t)) and let G be a split semi-simple group. The purpose of this paper is to study certain analogs of spherical (and Iwahori) Hecke algebras for representations of the group G(F) and its central…

We provide a dual version of the Geck--Rouquier Theorem on the center of an Iwahori--Hecke algebra, which also covers the complex case. For the eight complex reflection groups of rank $2$, for which the symmetrising trace conjecture is…

We propose a method for reduction of quantum systems with arbitrary first class constraints. An appropriate mathematical setting for the problem is homology of associative algebras. For every such an algebra $A$ and its subalgebra B with an…

We define type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ as well as C*-semi-finite C*-algebras. It is shown that a von Neumann algebra is a type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ or C*-semi-finite…

We carry out a careful study of operator algebras associated with Delone dynamical systems. A von Neumann algebra is defined using noncommutative integration theory. Features of these algebras and the operators they contain are discussed.…

In [5] the author conjectures and partially shows that the Cuntz semigroup classifies unitary elements of unital AF-algebras. We provide a complete proof by addressing the existence part of the conjecture, under a mild adjustment of both…

We explore the connection between ring homomorphisms and semigroup homomorphisms on matrix algebras over rings or $C^*$-algebras.

Let $M$ be a II$_1$ factor with a von Neumann subalgebra $Q\subset M$ that has infinite index under any projection in $Q'\cap M$ (e.g., $Q$ abelian; or $Q$ an irreducible subfactor with infinite Jones index). We prove that given any…

We identify the center of the generic affine Hecke algebra $H_q$ corresponding to some root datum with the semigroup algebra $\mathbb C[q][\check X^+]$ of the dominant chamber of its coweight lattice. This is done by first identifying a…

With a minor change made in the previous construction we observe that any reduced HNN extension is precisely a compressed algebra of a certain reduced amalgamated free product in both the von Neumann algebra and the $C^*$-algebra settings.…
