There has recently been much interest in the $C^*$-algebras of directed graphs. Here we consider product systems $E$ of directed graphs over semigroups and associated $C^*$-algebras $C^*(E)$ and $\mathcal{T}C^*(E)$ which generalise the…

We define a categorical framework in which we build a systematic construction that provides generic invariants for C*-algebras. The benefit is significant as we show that any invariant arising this way automatically enjoys nice properties…

We investigate conditions on a graph $C^*$-algebra for the existence of a faithful semifinite trace. Using such a trace and the natural gauge action of the circle on the graph algebra, we construct a smooth $(1,\infty)$-summable semfinite…

For a completely Hausdorff quasi-topological group $G$, we construct a universal pro-$C^*$-algebra $C(E^+G)$ as the non-commutative geometer's analogue of the total space $EG$ of the classifying principal $G$-bundle $EG\to BG$. The…

Motivated by advances in categorical probability, we introduce non-commutative almost everywhere (a.e.) equivalence and disintegrations in the setting of C*-algebras. We show that C*-algebras (resp. W*-algebras) and a.e. equivalence classes…

Cuntz and Li have defined a C*-algebra associated to any integral domain, using generators and relations, and proved that it is simple and purely infinite and that it is stably isomorphic to a crossed product of a commutative C*-algebra. We…

Let X be a locally compact space, and let A and B be Co(X)-algebras. We define the notion of an asymptotic Co(X)-morphism from A to B and construct representable E-theory groups RE(X;A,B). These are the universal groups on the category of…

We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…

We give an example of an exact, stably finite, simple. separable C*-algebra D which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Moreover, D has the following additional properties. It is stably finite, approximately divisible, has real rank…

Given a graph $E$, an action of a group $G$ on $E$, and a $G$-valued cocycle $\phi$ on the edges of $E$, we define a C*-algebra denoted ${\cal O}_{G,E}$, which is shown to be isomorphic to the tight C*-algebra associated to a certain…

We prove that unital graph C*-algebras often admit a convenient decomposition into amalgamated free products. We use this to give a complete characterization of when a unital graph C*-algebra is residually finite-dimensional and when it is…

We define a broad class of crossed product C*-algebras of the form C(G)xG, where G is a discrete countable amenable residually finite group, and G is a profinite completion of G. We show that they are unital separable simple nuclear…

The class of AD algebras of real rank zero is classified by an exact sequence of K-groups with coefficients, equipped with certain order structures. Such a sequence is always split, and one may ask why, then, the middle group is relevant…

We extend the usual theory of universal C*-algebras from generators and relations in order to allow some relations to be described using the strong operator topology. In particular, we can allow some infinite sum relations. We prove a…

The universal C*-algebras of discrete product systems generalize the Toeplitz- Cuntz algebras and the Toeplitz algebras of discrete semigroups. We consider a semigroup P which is quasi-lattice ordered in the sense of Nica, and, for a…

Given a graph of C*-algebras, we prove a long exact sequence in KK-theory for both the maximal and the vertex-reduced fundamental C*-algebras in the presence of possibly non GNS-faithful conditional expectations. We deduce from it the…

We study general nilpotent algebras. The results obtained are new even for the classical algebras, such as associative or Lie algebras. We single out certain generic properties of finite-dimensional algebras, mostly over infinite fields.…

The homotopy symmetric $C^*$-algebras are those separable $C^*$-algebras for which one can unsuspend in E-theory. We find a new simple condition that characterizes homotopy symmetric nuclear $C^*$-algebras and use it to show that the…

The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…

We solve a class of lifting problems involving approximate polynomial relations (soft polynomial relations). Various associated C*-algebras are therefore projective. The technical lemma we need is a new manifestation of Akemann and…
