Using a homological invariant together with an obstruction class in a certain Ext^2-group, we may classify objects in triangulated categories that have projective resolutions of length two. This invariant gives strong classification results…

This paper explores the interplay between category theory, topology, and the algebraic theory of finite groups. Our analysis unfolds in three stages. First, we establish the foundational universe of our objects: the complete and cocomplete…

We introduce a notion of ellipticity of complexes of linear pseudodifferential operators acting on sections of $A$-Hilbert bundles over smooth manifolds, $A$ being a $C^*$-algebra. We prove that the cohomology groups of an $A$-elliptic…

We define united KK-theory for real C*-algebras A and B such that A is separable and B is sigma-unital, extending united K-theory in the sense that KK\crt(\R, B) = K\crt(B). United KK-theory contains real, complex, and self-conjugate…

We introduce a category of inverse semigroup actions and a category of \'etale groupoids. We show that there are three functors which send inverse semigroups to their spectral actions, inverse semigroup actions to their transformation…

We define E-theory for separable C*-algebras over second countable topological spaces and establish its basic properties. This includes an approximation theorem that relates the E-theory over a general space to the E-theories over finite…

We study the C*-algebra crossed product $C_0(X)\rtimes G$ of a locally compact group $G$ acting properly on a locally compact Hausdorff space $X$. Under some mild extra conditions, which are automatic if $G$ is discrete or a Lie group, we…

The K-theory of a functor may be viewed as a relative version of the K-theory of a ring. In the case of a Galois extension of a number field F/L with rings of integers A/B respectively, this K-theory of the "norm functor" is an extension of…

We show that unital simple C*-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which are locally approximated by subhomogeneous C^-algebras can be classified by their ordered $K$-theory. We apply this classification result to show that certain…

Let $G=K\ltimes A$ be the semi-direct product group of a compact group $K$ acting on an abelian locally compact group $A$. We describe the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G)$ of $G$ in terms of an algebra of operator fields defined over the spectrum of…

This article introduces pre-Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories exhibiting "algebraic" aspects of Hilbert-space theory. Notably, finite biproducts in pre-Hilbert $*$-categories can be orthogonalised using the Gram-Schmidt…

We investigate when the categories of all rational $A$-modules and of finite dimensional rational modules are closed under extensions inside the category of $C^*$-modules, where $C^*$ is the cofinite topological completion of $A$. We give a…

KK-theory is a bivariant and homotopy-invariant functor on $C^*$-algebras that combines K-theory and K-homology. KK-groups form the morphisms in a triangulated category. Spanier-Whitehead K-Duality intertwines the homological with the…

Let C be a small category and k a field. There are two interesting mathematical subjects: the category algebra kC and the classifying space |C|=BC. We study the ring homomorphism HH*(kC) --> H*(|C|,k) and prove it is split surjective. This…

We derive faithful inclusions of C*-algebras from a coend-type construction in unitary tensor categories. This gives rise to different potential notions of discreteness for an inclusion in the non-irreducible case, and provides a unified…

We study the elementary C*-algebra whose elements are the sum of a diagonal plus a compact operator. We describe the structure of the unitary group, the sets of ideals, automorhisms and projections.

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…

We produce a cofibrantly generated simplicial symmetric monoidal model structure for the category of (small unital) C*-categories, whose weak equivalences are the unitary equivalences. The closed monoidal structure consists of the maximal…

The notion of a multiplier of a group X is generalized to that of a C*-multiplier by allowing it to have values in an arbitrary C*-algebra A. On the other hand, the notion of the action of X in A is generalized to that of a projective…
