We investigate the set of maximally mixed states of a C*-algebra, extending previous work by Alberti on von Neumann algebras. We show that, unlike for von Neumann algebras, the set of maximally mixed states of a C*-algebra may fail to be…

An example is given of a simple, unital C*-algebra which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This C*-algebra is also an example of an infinite simple C*-algebra which is not purely infinite. A corner of this C*-algebra is…

Let $X$ be an infinite compact metrizable space, and let $\sigma: X\to X$ be a minimal homeomorphism. Suppose that $(X, \sigma)$ has zero mean topological dimension. The associated C*-algebra $A=\mathrm{C}(X)\rtimes_\sigma\mathbb Z$ is…

We introduce the trivial intersection property for concrete operator spaces and we show that a unital space with this property has no nontrivial boundary ideals. We provide various examples of such spaces, among which are strongly reflexive…

In the current paper, we generalize the "compact operator" part of the Voiculescu's non-commutative Weyl-von Neumann theorem on approximate equivalence of unital $*$-homomorphisms of an commutative C$^*$ algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into a…

We prove that the $L_1$-norms associated with a positive element $a$ of a unital C*-algebra are equivalent to the norm of C*-algebra if and only if $a$ is invertible.

Let G be a finitely generated, torsion-free, two-step nilpotent group. Let C^*(G) be the universal C^*-algebra of G. We show that acsr(C^*(G)) = acsr(C((\hat{G})_1)), where for a unital C^*-algebra A, acsr(A) is the absolute connected…

An operator system modulo the kernel of a completely positive linear map of the operator system gives rise to an operator system quotient. In this paper, operator system quotients and quotient maps of certain matrix algebras are considered.…

It is shown that if A is a separable, exact C*-algebra which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) and has a faithful, amenable trace, then A admits a trace-preserving embedding into a simple, unital AF-algebra with unique…

We establish an operator algebra generalization of Watrous' theorem \cite{watrous2009} on mixing unital quantum channels (completely positive trace-preserving maps) with the completely depolarizing channel, wherein the more general objects…

We give sufficient conditions allowing one to build a C*-algebraic structure on a self-adjoint linear subspace of a C*-algebra in such a way that the subspace is naturally identified with the resulting C*-algebra via a completely positive…

We describe absolutely ordered $p$-normed spaces, for $1 \le p \le \infty$ which presents a model for "non-commutative" vector lattices and includes order theoretic orthogonality. To demonstrate its relevance, we introduce the notion of…

In the classical operator theory, there are several versions of spectra, related to special classes of operators (Fredholm, semi-Fredholm, upper/lower semi-Fredholm,etc.). We generalize these notions for adjointable operators on Hilbert…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

In this article, we use Exel's construction to associate a C*-algebra to every shift space. We show that it has the C*-algebra defined in [Carlsen and Matsumoto: Some remarks on the C*-algebras associated with subshifts] as a quotient, and…

Given any unital, finite, classifiable C$^*$-algebra $A$ with real rank zero and any compact simplex bundle with the fibre at zero being homeomorphic to the space of tracial states on $A$, we show that there exists a flow on $A$ realising…

We further examine the concept of uniform property Gamma for C*-algebras introduced in our joint work with Winter. In addition to obtaining characterisations in the spirit of Dixmier's work on central sequence in II$_1$ factors, we…

We say that an algebra is zero-product balanced if $ab\otimes c$ and $a\otimes bc$ agree modulo tensors of elements with zero-product. This is closely related to but more general than the notion of a zero-product determined algebra of…

We present an operator algebraic approach to Wigner's unitary-antiunitary theorem using some classical results from ring theory. To show how effective this approach is, we prove a generalization of this celebrated theorem for Hilbert…

We prove that averaging operators are uniformly bounded on $L^1$ for all geometrically doubling metric measure spaces, with bounds independent of the measure. From this result, the $L^1$ convergence of averages as $r \to 0$ immediately…
