We initiate the study of definability (in the model-theoretic sense) of C*-tensor norms. We show that neither the minimal nor maximal tensor norms are definable uniformly over all C*-algebras. The proof in the case of the minimal tensor…

We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…

A collection of partial isometries whose range and initial projections satisfy a specified set of conditions often gives rise to a partial representation of a group. The C*-algebra generated by the partial isometries is thus a quotient of…

We study bounded bilinear maps on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ having product property at $c\in A$. This leads us to the question of when a C$^*$-algebra is determined by products at $c.$ In the first part of our paper, we investigate this question…

We show that there is a functor from the category of positive admissible ternary rings to the category of $*$-algebras, which induces an isomorphism of partially ordered sets between the families of $C^*$-norms on the ternary ring and its…

In the present article we investigate the possibility of combining the usual Grassmann algebras with their ternary Z_3-graded counterpart, thus creating a more general algebra with coexisting quadratic and cubic constitutive relations. We…

A Q-system in a C* 2-category is a unitary version of a separable Frobenius algebra object and can be viewed as a unitary version of a higher idempotent. We define a higher unitary idempotent completion for C* 2-categories called Q-system…

We study the general and connected stable ranks for C*-algebras. We estimate these ranks for pullbacks of C*-algebras, and for tensor products by commutative C*-algebras. Finally, we apply these results to determine these ranks for certain…

In the mid thirties Murray and von Neumann found a natural way to associate a von Neumann algebra $L(\Gamma)$ to any countable discrete group $\Gamma$. Classifying $L(\Gamma)$ in term of $\Gamma$ is a notoriously complex problem as in…

We study the C*-algebra crossed-product of the closed unit disk by the action of one of its conformal automorphisms. After classifying the conformal automorphisms up to topological conjugacy, we investigate, for each class, the irreducible…

Iteration of a rational function $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We introduce a $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal O}_R$ associated with $R$ as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a Hilbert bimodule over the algebra $A = C(J_R)$ of…

We introduce a cohomological invariant arising from a class in nonabelian cohomology. This invariant generalizes the Dixmier-Douady class and encodes the obstruction to a C*-algebra bundle being the fixed-point algebra of a gauge action. As…

Tensor models are generalizations of matrix models, and are studied as discrete models of quantum gravity for arbitrary dimensions. Among them, the canonical tensor model (CTM for short) is a rank-three tensor model formulated as a totally…

In contrast to C*-algebras, distinct C*-norms on the algebraic tensor product of two W*-algebras produce isomorphic W*-tensor products

This paper studies the relationship between minimal dynamical systems on the product of the Cantor set ($X$) and torus ($\T^2$) and their corresponding crossed product $C^*$-algebras. For the case when the cocycles are rotations, we studied…

We discuss the interplay between K-theoretical dynamics and the structure theory for certain C*-algebras arising from crossed products. For noncommutative C*-systems we present notions of minimality and topological transitivity in the…

We characterize Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebras for compactly aligned product systems over quasi-lattice ordered groupoids. We show that the full cross sectional $C^*$-algebras of Fell bundles of Morita equivalence bimodules are isomorphic to…

We analyse a notion of $C^*$-independence for $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded $C^*$-algebras. We provide other notions of statistical independence for $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded von Neumann algebras and prove some relationships between them. We provide a…

Starting from a discrete $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathfrak{A}, \theta, \omega_o)$, we define and study most of the main ergodic properties of the crossed product $C^*$-dynamical system $(\mathfrak{A}\rtimes_\alpha\mathbb{Z}, \Phi_{\theta,…

We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism, and as a groupoid…
