This largely pedagogical paper recalls some facts on defect numbers of products of closed operators employing results from the theory of semi-Fredholm operators and then applies these facts to positive integer powers of symmetric operators…

We extend Ueda's peak set theorem for subdiagonal subalgebras of tracial finite von Neumann algebras, to sigma-finite von Neumann algebras (that is, von Neumann algebras with a faithful state; which includes those on a separable Hilbert…

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 establish the Borel computability of various C$^*$-algebra invariants, including the Elliott invariant and the Cuntz semigroup. As applications we deduce that AF algebras are classifiable by countable structures, and that a conjecture of…

In the gap topology, the unbounded self-adjoint Fredholm operators on a Hilbert space have third homotopy group the integers. We realise the generator explicitly, using a family of Dirac operators on the half-line, which arises naturally in…

We describe a very general (nonlinear) Fredholm theory for a new class of ambient spaces, called polyfolds. The basic feature of these new spaces is that in general they may have locally varying dimensions. These new spaces are needed for a…

We study and compare the gap and the Riesz topologies of the space of all unbounded regular operators on Hilbert C*-modules. We show that the space of all bounded adjointable operators on Hilbert C*-modules is an open dense subset of the…

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…

We introduce a new family of non-negative real-valued functions on a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$, i.e., for $0\leq \mu \leq 1,$ $$\|a\|_{\sigma_{\mu}}= \text{sup}\left\lbrace \sqrt{|f(a)|^2 \sigma_{\mu} f(a^*a)}: f\in \mathcal{A}', \,…

Building on Lin's breakthrough MIP$^{co}$ = coRE and an encoding of non-local games as universal sentences in the language of tracial von Neumann algebras, we show that locally universal tracial von Neumann algebras have undecidable…

We define partial product systems over N. They generalise product systems over N and Fell bundles over Z. We define Toeplitz C*-algebras and relative Cuntz-Pimsner algebras for them and show that the section C*-algebra of a Fell bundle over…

We treat spectral problems by twisted groupoid methods. To Hausdorff locally compact groupoids endowed with a continuous $2$-cocycle one associates the reduced twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Elements (or multipliers) of this algebra admit…

Let $F$ be the Fibonacci matrix $ \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 1 1 & 0 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr] $. The Fibonacci Dyck shift is a subshsystem of the Dyck shift $D_2$ constrained by the matrix $F$. Let ${{\frak L}^{Ch(D_F)}}$ be a…
