A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…

We define the tracial Rokhlin property for actions of finite cyclic groups on stably finite simple unital C*-algebras. We prove that when the algebra is in addition simple and has tracial rank zero, then the crossed product again has…

If a finitely generated torsion free group K has the property that all finitely generated subgroups S of K are either small or have growth constant bounded uniformly away from 1 then a non proper HNN extension G of K, that is a semidirect…

Given a spectral triple $(A,H,D)$ and a $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathbf{A}, G, \alpha)$ where $A$ is dense in $\mathbf{A}$ and $G$ is a locally compact group, we extend the triple to a triplet $(\mathcal{B},\mathcal{H},\mathcal{D})$ on the…

Suppose $\Sigma$ is a topological space and $S(\Sigma)$ is the vector lattice of all equivalent classes of continuous real-valued functions defined on open dense subsets of $\Sigma$. In this paper, we establish some lattice and topological…

We study the problem of extending a state on an abelian $C^*$- subalgebra to a tracial state on the ambient $C^*$-algebra. We propose an approach that is well-suited to the case of regular inclusions, in which there is a large supply of…

We prove a variety results on tensor product factorizations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras (more generally Hopf algebras satisfying chain conditions in suitable braided categories). The results are analogs of well-known results on…

Let A be a C*-algebra, h a Hilbert space and C the CAR algebra over h. We construct a twisted tensor product of A by C such that the two factors are not necessarily one in the relative commutant of the other. The resulting C*-algebra may be…

Let $G$ be a discrete countable infinite group. We show that each topological $(C,F)$-action $T$ of $G$ on a locally compact non-compact Cantor set is a free minimal amenable action admitting a unique up to scaling non-zero invariant Radon…

This paper tackles a problem on the possible transfer of regularity to tensor products of algebras over a field k. The main result establishes necessary and sufficient conditions for a Noetherian tensor product of two extension fields of k…

We will show a centrally free action of an amenable rigid C$^*$-tensor category on a properly infinite von Neumann algebra has the Rohlin property. This enables us to prove the fullness of the crossed product of a full factor by minimal…

Let $X$ be a Cantor set, and let $A$ be a unital separable simple amenable $C$*-algebra with tracial rank zero which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem, we use $C(X,A)$ to denote the set of all continuous functions from $X$ to $A$,…

We construct explicit approximating nets for crossed products of C*-algebras by actions of discrete quantum groups. This implies that C*-algebraic approximation properties such as nuclearity, exactness or completely bounded approximation…

We show that some classical results on expander graphs imply growth results on normal subsets in finite simple groups. As one application, it is shown that given a nontrivial normal subset $ A $ of a finite simple group $ G $ of Lie type of…

We present a systematic study of the structure of crossed products and fixed point algebras by compact group actions with the Rokhlin property on not necessarily unital C*-algebras. Our main technical result is the existence of an…

We establish the tracial stability of a certain class of graph products of C*-algebras. This result involves the development of the "pincushion class" of finite graphs. We then apply this result in two ways. The first application yields a…

Let X be an infinite compact metric space with finite covering dimension and let h be a minimal homeomorphism of X. Let A be the associated crossed product C*-algebra. We show that A has tracial rank zero whenever the image of K_0 (A) in…

Finite rank perturbations $T=N+K$ of a bounded normal operator $N$ on a separable Hilbert space are studied thanks to a natural functional model of $T$; in its turn the functional model solely relies on a perturbation matrix/ characteristic…

We show that every probability-measure-preserving action of a countable amenable group G can be tiled, modulo a null set, using finitely many finite subsets of G ("shapes") with prescribed approximate invariance so that the collection of…

We establish four results concerning connections between actions on separable C*-algebras with Rokhlin-type properties and absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra Z. For actions of residually finite groups or of the reals which have finite…
