Let $\mathcal C$ be category over a commutative ring $k$, its Hochschild-Mitchell homology and cohomology are denoted respectively $HH_*(\mathcal C)$ and $HH^*(\mathcal C).$ Let $G$ be a group acting on $\mathcal C$, and $\mathcal C[G]$ be…

For a finite group $G$, we compute the algebraic $K$-theory of the category of equivariant sheaves on a locally compact Hausdorff $G$-space, generalizing a result of Efimov, and determine the equivariant $E$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra of…

We show that for any compact connected group G the second cohomology group defined by unitary invariant 2-cocycles on \hat G is canonically isomorphic to H^2(\hat{Z(G)};T). This implies that the group of autoequivalences of the C*-tensor…

We extend Matui's notion of almost finiteness to general etale groupoids and show that the reduced groupoid C*-algebras of minimal almost finite groupoids have stable rank one. The proof follows a new strategy, which can be regarded as a…

When a unital \ca $A$ has topological stable rank one (write $\tsr(A) = 1$), we know that $\tsr(pAp) \leq 1$ for a non-zero projection $p \in A$. When, however, $\tsr(A) \geq 2$, it is generally faluse. We prove that if a unital C*-algebra…

A discrete group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple, and is said to have the unique trace property if its reduced C*-algebra has a unique tracial state. A dynamical characterization of C*-simplicity was recently…

We show that $B(H)$ for an infinite dimensional Hilbert space $H$ cannot be realized as the reduced twisted $C^*$-algebra of any locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid. The proof is based on the canonical conditional expectation…

Dynamical conditions that guarantee stability for discrete transformation group $C^*$-algebras are determined. The results are applied to the case of some discrete subgroups of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ acting on the plane with the origin removed…

We study the $C^*$-algebras associated to upper-semicontinuous Fell bundles over second-countable Hausdorff groupoids. Based on ideas going back to the Packer--Raeburn "Stabilization Trick," we construct from each such bundle a groupoid…

In this article, we prove that if a finitely generated group $G$ is not torsion then a necessary and sufficient condition for every full shift over $G$ has (continuous) cocycle superrigidity is that $G$ has one end. It is a topological…

We prove that an inclusion $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathcal{A}$ of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a finite-index conditional expectation is regular if and only if there exists a finite group $G$ that admits a cocycle action…

We prove a strong rigidity property of the Heisenberg groups, that is, they can be distinguished from any other 1-connected Lie groups via their unitary dual spaces, in particular via the Morita equivalence class of their group…

We study the cohomology $H^*_{\lambda \omega}(G/\Gamma, {\mathbb C})$ of the deRham complex $\Lambda^*(G/\Gamma)\otimes{\mathbb C}$ of a compact solvmanifold $G/\Gamma$ with a deformed differential $d_{\lambda \omega}=d + \lambda\omega$,…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

For any Lie groupoid $G$, the vector bundle $g^*$ dual to the associated Lie algebroid $g$ is canonically a Poisson manifold. The (reduced) C*-algebra of $G$ (as defined by A. Connes) is shown to be a strict quantization (in the sense of M.…

We show that C*-algebras generated by irreducible representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem of Rosenberg and Schochet. This result combines with previous work to show that these…

A locally compact group $G$ has the factorization property if the map $$C^*(G)\odot C^*(G)\ni a\otimes b\mapsto \lambda(a)\rho(b)\in\mathcal B(L^2(G))$$ is continuous with respect to the minimal C*-norm. This paper seeks to initiate a…

The complex exponential function is a local homeomorphism and gives therefore rise to an 'etale groupoid and a C*-algebra. We determine this algebra, as well as the alge bra of the complex conjugate of the exponential function.

We say that a group $G$ is almost Engel if for every $g\in G$ there is a finite set ${\mathscr E}(g)$ such that for every $x\in G$ all sufficiently long commutators $[...[[x,g],g],\dots ,g]$ belong to ${\mathscr E}(g)$, that is, for every…

We introduce twisted Steinberg algebras over a commutative unital ring $R$. These generalise Steinberg algebras and are a purely algebraic analogue of Renault's twisted groupoid C*-algebras. In particular, for each ample Hausdorff groupoid…
