We study completely positive module maps on $C^{*}$-algebras which are $C^*$-module over another $C^*$-algebra with compatible actions. We extend several well known dilation and extension results to this setup, including the Stinespring…

Let X be a right Hilbert C*-module over A. We study the geometry and the topology of the projective space P(X) of X, consisting of the orthocomplemented submodules of X which are generated by a single element. We also study the geometry of…

We provide a self-contained proof of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem in the case of finite-dimensional Von Neumann algebras (or equivalently unital C* algebras) that is fully constructive and uses only basic notions of linear algebra.

We show that a formal power series ring $A[[X]]$ over a noetherian ring $A$ is not a projective module unless $A$ is artinian. However, if $(A,{\mathfrak m})$ is local, then $A[[X]]$ behaves like a projective module in the sense that…

Given a finite root system $\Phi$, we show that there is an integer $c=c(\Phi)$ such that $\dim\Ext_G^1(L,L')<c$, for any reductive algebraic group $G$ with root system $\Phi$ and any irreducible rational $G$-modules $L,L'$. There also is…

In the paper we describe the C*-algebras of noncommutative spherical tight frames over some C*-algebras and then apply to study the noncommutative version of the universal classifying space.

We continue our study of integral points on moduli schemes by combining the method of Faltings (Arakelov, Parsin, Szpiro) with modularity results and Masser-W\"ustholz isogeny estimates. In this work we explicitly bound the height and the…

Let $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{H})$ denote the $C^*$-algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert $C^*$-module $\mathscr{H}$. We introduce the generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for operators in $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{H})$ and investigate…

Let $X$ be a product system over a quasi-lattice ordered groupoid $(G,P)$. Under mild hypotheses, we associate to $X$ a $C^*$-algebra which is couniversal for injective Nica covariant Toeplitz representations of $X$ which preserve the gauge…

We prove that a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with representation-finite subcategory consisting of modules that are semi-Gorenstein-projective and $n$-th syzygy modules is left weakly Gorenstein. This generalises a theorem of Ringel and…

Consider a unital C*-algebra A, a von Neumann algebra M, a unital sub-C*-algebra C of A and a unital *-homomorphism $\pi$ from C to M. Let u: A --> M be a decomposable map (i.e. a linear combination of completely positive maps) which is a…

This paper deals with a "naive" way of generalization of the Kazhdan's property (T) to C*-algebras. This approach differs from the approach of Connes and Jones, which has already demonstrated its utility. Nevertheless it turned out that our…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

It was noticed recently that, given a metric space $(X,d_X)$, the equivalence classes of metrics on the disjoint union of the two copies of $X$ coinciding with $d_X$ on each copy form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$ with respect to…

Let $E$ and $P$ be subsets of a Banach space $X$, and let us define the unit sphere around $E$ in $P$ as the set $$Sph(E;P) :=\left\{ x\in P : \|x-b\|=1 \hbox{ for all } b\in E \right\}.$$ Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$, and a subset $E\subset…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

Normal conditional expectations E: M --> N in M of finite index on von Neumann algebras M with discrete center are investigated to find an estimate for the minimal number of generators of M as a Hilbert N-module. Analyzing the case of M…

Let $C/\mathbb{F}_q$ be a regular projective curve, $\infty \in C$ a closed point, $A := \Gamma(C - \{\infty\}, \mathcal{O}_C)$, and $K := K(C)$ the fraction field of $A$. Consider a finite extension $L/K$, a place $v$ of $L$, and an…

Let $(R,\m)$ and $(S,\n)$ be commutative Noetherian local rings, and let $\phi:R\to S$ be a flat local homomorphism such that $\m S = \n$ and the induced map on residue fields $R/\m \to S/\n$ is an isomorphism. Given a finitely generated…

A C*-algebra $A$ is C*-reflexive if any countably generated Hilbert C*-module $M$ over $A$ is C*-reflexive, i.e. the second dual module $M''$ coincides with $M$. We show that a commutative C*-algebra $A$ is C*-reflexive if and only if for…
