We study embeddings of $L^p$-operator algebras arising from (twisted) \'etale groupoids, with particular emphasis on rigidity phenomena for $p\neq 2$. Our methods rely on a detailed analysis of core normalizers and their functorial behavior…
We investigate the rigidity of the $\ell^p$ analog of Roe-type algebras. In particular, we show that if $p\in[1,\infty)\setminus\{2\}$, then an isometric isomorphism between the $\ell^p$ uniform Roe algebras of two metric spaces with…
For $d = 2, 3, \ldots$ and $p \in [1, \infty),$ we define a class of representations $\rho$ of the Leavitt algebra $L_d$ on spaces of the form $L^p (X, \mu),$ which we call the spatial representations. We prove that for fixed $d$ and $p,$…
For each $1\le p<\infty$ and each countable oriented graph $Q$ we introduce an $L^p$-operator algebra $\mathcal{O}^p(Q)$ which contains the Leavitt path $\mathbb{C}$-algebra $L_Q$ as a dense subalgebra and is universal for those…
Let $p\in(1,\infty)\backslash\{2\}$. We show that every homomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into $B(l^{p}(J))$ satisfies a compactness property where $J$ is any set. As a consequence, we show that a $C^{*}$-algebra…
For $p\in (1,\infty)$, we study representations of \'etale groupoids on $L^{p}$-spaces. Our main result is a generalization of Renault's disintegration theorem for representations of \'etale groupoids on Hilbert spaces. We establish a…
The 2-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary and an isometry satisfying certain relations. It contains a canonical copy of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_2$. We show that…
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…
In this paper we will study the isomorphism problem for the reduced twisted group and groupoid $L^p$-operator algebras. For a locally compact group $G$ and a continuous 2-cocycle $\sigma$ we will define the reduced $\sigma$-twisted…
Let $p\in(1,\infty)$. We show that there is an isomorphism from any separable unital subalgebra of $B(\ell^{2})/K(\ell^{2})$ onto a subalgebra of $B(\ell^{p})/K(\ell^{p})$ that preserves the Fredholm index. As a consequence, every separable…
In this paper, we employ operator system techniques to investigate structural properties of C*-algebras. In particular, we provide more direct proofs of results concerning exactness and the local lifting property (LLP) of group…
For $p,q\in [1,\infty)$, we study the isomorphism problem for the $p$- and $q$-convolution algebras associated to locally compact groups. While it is well known that not every group can be recovered from its group von Neumann algebra, we…
For $p \in [1, \infty),$ we define and study full and reduced crossed products of algebras of operators on $\sigma$-finite $L^p$ spaces by isometric actions of second countable locally compact groups. We give universal properties for both…
It is known that the multiplier algebra of an approximately unital and nondegenerate $L^p$-operator algebra is again an $L^p$-operator algebra. In this paper we investigate examples that drop both hypotheses. In particular, we show that the…
Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$ be a measure space and $A$ be a norm closed subalgebra of $\mathcal{B}(L^p(X,\mu))$, where $p\in [1,\infty)$. Let $(G,A,\alpha)$ be an $L^p$-operator algebra dynamical system, where $G$ is a countable discrete…
We study $L^p$-theory of second-order elliptic divergence type operators with complex measurable coefficients. The major aspect is that we allow complex coefficients in the main part of the operator, too. We investigate generation of…
Let $p\in [1,\infty)$. We define an $L^p$-operator algebra crossed product by a transfer operator for the topological Bernoulli shift $\varphi$ on $X=\{1,...,n\}^{\mathbb{N}}$, and we prove it is isometrically isomorphic to the $L^p$-analog…
We undertake a systematic study of the so-called $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$. This is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_2$ such that $S_2U=U^2S_2$ and $S_2S_2^*+US_2S_2^*U^*=1$.…
We prove that, for $p \in [1, \infty),$ and integers $d$ at least 2, the $L^p$ analog ${\mathcal{O}}_d^p$ of the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal{O}}_d$ is a purely infinite simple amenable Banach algebra. The proof requires what we call 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…
