Frames and orthonormal bases are naturally linked to bounded operators. To tackle unbounded operators those sequences might not be well suited. This has already been noted by von Neumann in the 1920ies. But modern frame theory also…
These days it is common for young operator algebraists to know a lot about C*-algebras, or a lot about von Neumann algebras -- but not both. Though a natural consequence of the breadth and depth of each subject, this is unfortunate as the…
A functor from the category of directed trees with inclusions to the category of commutative C*-algebras with injective *-homomorphisms is constructed. This is used to define a functor from the category of directed graphs with inclusions to…
We introduce the notion of relative averaging operators on Hom-associative algebras with a representation. Relative averaging operators are twisted generalizations of relative averaging operators on associative algebras. We give two…
We compute the C*-algebra generated by a group of composition operators acting on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the disk, where the symbols belong to a non-elementary Fuchsian group. We show that such a C*-algebra contains…
We extend classical results on the classification of reversible elements of the group $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{C})$ (and $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{R})$) to $\mathrm{GL}(n, \mathbb{H})$ using an infinitesimal version of the classical…
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.…
We consider symmetry operators a from the group ring C[S_N] which act on the Hilbert space H of the 1D spin-1/2 Heisenberg magnetic ring with N sites. We investigate such symmetry operators a which are self-adjoint (in a sence defined in…
We describe the C*-algebra generated by an irreducible Toeplitz operator $T_{\psi}$, with continuous symbol $\psi $ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$, and finitely many composition operators on the Hardy space $H^2$ induced by certain…
In recent work of the second author, a technical result was proved establishing a bijective correspondence between certain open projections in a C*-algebra containing an operator algebra A, and certain one-sided ideals of A. Here we give…
We develop a systematic way for constructing bispectral algebras of commuting ordinary differential operators of any rank $N$. It combines and unifies the ideas of Duistermaat-Gr\"unbaum and Wilson. Our construction is completely…
A group is irreducibly represented if it has a faithful irreducible unitary representation. For countable groups, a criterion for irreducible representability is given, which generalises a result obtained for finite groups by W. Gasch\"utz…
Let $\mathscr{M}$ be a $II_1$ factor acting on the Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$, and $\mathscr{M}_{\textrm{aff}}$ be the Murray-von Neumann algebra of closed densely-defined operators affiliated with $\mathscr{M}$. Let $\tau$ denote the…
We study self-similar groupoid actions on arbitrary directed graphs together with $\mathbb{T}$-valued twists that exhaust the second cohomology group of the associated Zappa-Sz\'ep product category. We define and analyse the associated…
This dissertation concerns the classification of groupoid and higher-rank graph C*-algebras and has two main components. Firstly, for a groupoid it is shown that the notions of strength of convergence in the orbit space and…
We study the fixed point subalgebra of a certain class of lattice vertex operator algebras by an automorphism of order 3, which is a lift of a fixed-point-free isometry of the underlying lattice. We classify the irreducible modules for the…
We study families of self-adjoint operators with given spectra whose sum is a scalar operator. Such families are $*$-representations of certain algebras which can be described in terms of graphs and positive functions on them. The main…
According to J. Feldman and C. Moore's well-known theorem on Cartan subalgebras, a variant of the group measure space construction gives an equivalence of categories between twisted countable standard measured equivalence relations and…
This paper is devoted to self-adjoint cyclically compact operators on Hilbert--Kaplansky module over a ring of bounded measurable functions. The spectral theorem for such a class of operators are given. We apply this result to partial…
We construct a singly generated subalgebra of ${\mathcal K}({\mathcal H})$ which is non-amenable, yet is boundedly approximately contractible. The example embeds into a homogeneous von Neumann algebra. We also observe that there are singly…
