Work of Jean Renault shows that, for topologically principal \'etale groupoids, a diagonal-preserving isomorphism of reduced $C^*$-algebras yields an isomorphism of groupoids. Several authors have proved analogues of this result for ample…

I combine recent results in the structure theory of nuclear C*-algebras and in topological dynamics to classify certain types of crossed products in terms of their Elliott invariants. In particular, transformation group C*-algebras…

We develop the concept of weak tracial Rokhlin property for finite group actions on simple (not necessarily unital) C*-algebras and study its properties systematically. In particular, we show that this property is stable under restriction…

We define essential commutative Cartan pairs of $C^*$-algebras generalising the definition of Renault and show that such pairs are given by essential twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebras as defined by Kwa\'sniewski and Meyer. We show that the…

In this note we start the study of whether the reduced C*-algebra of an inverse semigroup is quasi-diagonal, making explicit use of the inner structure of this class of semigroups in order to produce quasi-diagonal approximations. Given a…

We present an example of a twist over a minimal Hausdorff \'etale groupoid such that the restriction of the twist to the interior of the isotropy is not topologically trivial; that is, the restricted twist is not induced by a continuous…

We unify the Kumjian-Renault Weyl groupoid construction with the Lawson-Lenz version of Exel's tight groupoid construction. We do this by utilising only a weak algebraic fragment of the C*-algebra structure, namely its *-semigroup reduct.…

We introduce magnetic twisted actions of X=R^n on general abelian C*-algebras and study the associated twisted crossed product and pseudodifferential algebras in the framework of strict deformation quantization.

We introduce and study a Rokhlin-type property for actions of finite groups on (not necessarily unital) C*-algebras. We show that the corresponding crossed product C*-algebras can be locally approximated by C*-algebras that are stably…

We prove that the twisted group C*-algebra of a finitely generated nilpotent group is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if it is nowhere scattered, a condition that we characterize in terms of the given group and 2-cocycle. As a main…

Renault proved in 2008 that if $G$ is a topologically principal groupoid, then $C_0(G^{(0)})$ is a Cartan subalgebra in $C^*_r(G, \Sigma)$ for any twist $\Sigma$ over $G$. However, there are many groupoids which are not topologically…

We survey the results required to pass between full and reduced coactions of locally compact groups on C*-algebras, which say, roughly speaking, that one can always do so without changing the crossed-product C*-algebra. Wherever possible we…

We prove a new uniqueness theorem for the tight C*-algebras of an inverse semigroup by generalizing the uniqueness theorem given for \'etale groupoid C*-algebras by Brown, Nagy, Reznikoff, Sims, and Williams. We use this to show that in the…

Let $G$ be second countable locally compact Hausdorff groupoid with a continuous Haar system. We remove the assumption of amenability in a theorem by Clark about GCR groupoid $C^*$-algebras. We show that if the groupoid $C^*$-algebra of $G$…

We study the question whether the representations defined by a dense subset of the unit space of a locally compact \'etale groupoid are enough to determine the reduced norm on the groupoid C$^*$-algebra. We present sufficient conditions for…

We calculate the $K$-theory of the reduced $C^*$-algebra $C^*_r(G)$ of a reductive $p$-adic group $G$. To do so, we show that each direct summand in Plymen's Plancherel decomposition of $C^*_r(G)$ is Morita equivalent to a twisted crossed…

We show the reduced $C^*$-algebra of a graded ample groupoid is a strongly graded $C^*$-algebra if and only if the corresponding Steinberg algebra is a strongly graded ring. We apply this result to get a theorem about the Leavitt path…

Motivated by the problem of characterizing KMS states on the reduced C$^*$-algebras of \'etale groupoids, we show that the reduced norm on these algebras induces a C$^*$-norm on the group algebras of the isotropy groups. This C$^*$-norm…
