We study topological quivers $Q$ admitting a free and proper action by a locally compact group $G$ together with their associated $C^*$-algebras. On the topological side, we provide a complete classification of topological quivers which…
We study the automorphism group of a unital, simple, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebra. In this paper, we generalize the results by the authors in \cite{pr_auto} to $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebras $\mathfrak{A}$ such that…
A tiling with infinite rotational symmetry, such as the Conway-Radin Pinwheel Tiling, gives rise to a topological dynamical system to which an \'etale equivalence relation is associated. A groupoid C*-algebra for a tiling is produced and a…
Let $R$ be a rational function. The iterations $(R^n)_n$ of $R$ gives a complex dynamical system on the Riemann sphere. We associate a $C^*$-algebra and study a relation between the $C^*$-algebra and the original complex dynamical system.…
C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…
This paper contains a quite detailed description of the C*-algebra arising from the transformation groupoid of a rational map of degree at least two on the Riemann sphere. The algebra is decomposed stepwise via extensions of familiar…
We show that a unital ring is generated by its commutators as an ideal if and only if there exists a natural number $N$ such that every element is a sum of $N$ products of pairs of commutators. We show that one can take $N \leq 2$ for…
This note presents an analysis of a class of operator algebras constructed as cross-sectional algebras of flat holomorphic matrix bundles over a finitely bordered Riemann surface. These algebras are partly inspired by the bundle shifts of…
We consider $C^*$-algebras constructed from compact group actions on complex vector bundles $E\to X$ endowed with a Hermitian metric. An action of $G$ by isometries on $E\to X$ induces an action on the $C^*$-correspondence $\Gamma(E)$ over…
We present an explicit formula for the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra associated with a relative generalized Boolean dynamical system $(\CB, \CL, \theta, \CI_\af; \CJ)$. In particular, we find concrete generators for the $K_1$-group of…
Given two unital C*-algebras $A$ and $B$, we study, when it exists, the universal unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{U}(A,B)$ generated by the coefficients of a unital $*$-homomorphism $\rho\,:\, A\rightarrow B\otimes\mathcal{U}(A,B)$. When $B$…
We compute the K-theory of the three C*-algebras associated to a rational function R acting on the Riemann sphere, its Fatou set, and its Julia set. The latter C*-algebra is a unital UCT Kirchberg algebra and is thus classified by its…
We provide a complete classification of the class of unital graph $C^*$-algebras - prominently containing the full family of Cuntz-Krieger algebras - showing that Morita equivalence in this case is determined by ordered, filtered…
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra. Its unitary group, $UA$, contains a wealth of topological information about $A$. However, the homotopy type of $UA$ is out of reach even for $A = M_2(\CC)$. There are two simplifications which have been…
Certain $*$-semigroups are associated with the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a partial isometry, which is itself the universal $C^*$-algebra of a $*$-semigroup. A fundamental role for a $*$-structure on a semigroup is emphasized, and…
In this article, we define operator algebras internal to a rigid C*-tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. A C*/W*-algebra object in $\mathcal{C}$ is an algebra object $\mathbf{A}$ in $\operatorname{ind}$-$\mathcal{C}$ whose category of free…
The Weyl algebra,- the usual C*-algebra employed to model the canonical commutation relations (CCRs), has a well-known defect in that it has a large number of representations which are not regular and these cannot model physical fields.…
For all transcendental parameters, the irrational rotation algebra is shown to contain infinitely many C*-subalgebras satisfying the following properties. Each subalgebra is isomorphic to a direct sum of two matrix algebras of the same…
We study two classes of operator algebras associated with a unital subsemigroup $P$ of a discrete group $G$: one related to universal structures, and one related to co-universal structures. First we provide connections between universal…
In this paper, we construct, for a certain class of semigroup dynamical systems, two operator algebras that are universal with respect to their corresponding covariance conditions: one being self-adjoint, and another being non-self-adjoint.…
