In this paper, we show that the lattice of C*-covers of a non-selfadjoint operator algebra is either one point or uncountable. We prove that there are non-selfadjoint operator algebras with a one-point lattice in two ways: as an explicit…

Suppose a C*-algebra A acts by adjointable operators on a Hilbert A-module X. Pimsner constructed a C*-algebra O_X which includes, for particular choices of X, crossed products of A by Z, the Cuntz algebras O_n, and the Cuntz-Krieger…

In the 1970s Alain Connes identified the appropriate notion of amenabilty for von Neumann algebras, and used it to obtain a deep internal finite dimensional approximation structure for these algebras. This structure is exactly what is…

Noncommutative domain algebras were introduced by Popescu as the non-selfadjoint operator algebras generated by weighted shifts on the Full Fock space. This paper uses results from several complex variables to classify many noncommutative…

Let $R$ be a rational function. The iterations $(R^n)_n$ of $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We associate a $C^*$-algebra and study a relation between the $C^*$-algebra and the original complex dynamical system.…

Noncommutative multivariable versions of weighted shifts arise naturally as `weighted' left creation operators acting on Fock space. We investigate the unital weak operator topology closed algebras they generate. The unweighted case yields…

This is a survey of four recent papers which deal with the relationship of simple C*-algebras to the problem of computing the spectra of self-adjoint operators in the general case, especially when the spectrum is not discrete. It is an…

Examples of operator algebras with involution include the operator $*$-algebras occurring in noncommutative differential geometry studied recently by Mesland, Kaad, Lesch, and others, several classical function algebras, triangular matrix…

The present article is a review of recent developments concerning the notion of F{\o}lner sequences both in operator theory and operator algebras. We also give a new direct proof that any essentially normal operator has an increasing…

We study operator algebras arising from monomial ideals in the ring of polynomials in noncommuting variables, through the apparatus of subproduct systems and C*-correspondences. We provide a full comparison amongst the related operator…

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…

The study of operator algebras on Hilbert spaces, and C*-algebras in particular, is one of the most active areas within Functional Analysis. A natural generalization of these is to replace Hilbert spaces (which are $L^2$-spaces) with…

Operator algebras generated by partial isometries and their adjoints form the basis for some of the most well studied classes of C*-algebras. The primary object of this paper is the norm-closed operator algebra generated by a left…

Operator systems are the unital self-adjoint subspaces of the bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Complex operator systems are an important category containing the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, which is increasingly of interest in…

A triangular limit algebra A is isometrically isomorphic to the tensor algebra of a C*-correspondence if and only if its fundamental relation R(A) is a tree admitting a $Z^+_0$-valued continuous and coherent cocycle. For triangular limit…

Random matrices have their roots in multivariate analysis in statistics, and since Wigner's pioneering work in 1955, they have been a very important tool in mathematical physics. In functional analysis, random matrices and random structures…

A new homology is defined for a non-self-adjoint operator algebra and distinguished masa which is based upon cycles and boundaries associated with complexes of partial isometries in the stable algebra. Under natural hypotheses the zeroth…

We examine the ranks of operators in semi-finite C*-algebras as measured by their densely defined lower semicontinuous traces. We first prove that a unital simple C*-algebra whose extreme tracial boundary is nonempty and finite contains…

This is an introduction to the algebras $A\subset B(H)$ that the linear operators $T:H\to H$ can form, once a complex Hilbert space $H$ is given. Motivated by quantum mechanics, we are mainly interested in the von Neumann algebras, which…

Spectral theory and functional calculus for unbounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space are usually treated through von Neumann's Cayley transform. Based on ideas of Woronowicz, we redevelop this theory from the point of view of…
