We present a class of subshifts $Z_N, N = 1,2,...$ whose associated $C^*$-algebras ${\cal O}_{Z_N}$ are simple, purely infinite and not stably isomorphic to any Cuntz-Krieger algebra nor to Cuntz algebra. The class of the subshifts is the…

We say that a unital C*-algrebra A has the approximate positive factorization property (APFP) if every element of A is a norm limit of products of positive elements of A. (There is also a definition for the nonunital case.) T. Quinn has…

In recent work, Cuntz, Deninger and Laca have studied the Toeplitz type C*-algebra associated to the affine monoid of algebraic integers in a number field, under a time evolution determined by the absolute norm. The KMS equilibrium states…

We study KMS states on finite-graph C*-algebras with sinks and sources. We compare finite-graph C*-algebras with C*-algebras associated with complex dynamical systems of rational functions. We show that if the inverse temperature $\beta$ is…

The liquid crystalline compound, forming the glass of the smectic C$_A$* phase, is investigated by the X-ray diffraction in the 18-298 K range. The characteristic distances within the smectic C$_A$* phase are determined. The electron…

Using the Baum-Connes conjecture with coefficients, we develop a K-theory formula for reduced C*-algebras of strongly $0$-$E$-unitary inverse semigroups, or equivalently, for certain reduced partial crossed products. In the case of…

We describe the $C^*$-algebra of an $E$-unitary or strongly 0-$E$-unitary inverse semigroup as the partial crossed product of a commutative $C^*$-algebra by the maximal group image of the inverse semigroup. We give a similar result for the…

To a graph $\Gamma$ one can associate a C^*-algebra $C^*(\Gamma)$ generated by isometries. Such $C^*$-algebras were studied recently by Crisp and Laca. They are a special case of the Toeplitz C^*-algebras $\mathcal{T}(G, P)$ associated to…

We study the semigroup C*-algebra of a positive cone P of a weakly quasi-lattice ordered group. That is, P is a subsemigroup of a discrete group G with P\cap P^{-1}=\{e\} and such that any two elements of P with a common upper bound in P…

Let $F$ be the Fibonacci matrix $ \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix} 1 & 1 1 & 0 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr] $. The Fibonacci Dyck shift is a subshsystem of the Dyck shift $D_2$ constrained by the matrix $F$. Let ${{\frak L}^{Ch(D_F)}}$ be a…

This paper continues the study of K-theoretic invariants for semigroup C*-algebras attached to ax+b-semigroups over rings of algebraic integers in number fields. We show that from the semigroup C*-algebra together with its canonical…

We compute the KMS (equilibrium) states for the canonical time evolution on C*-algebras from actions of congruence monoids on rings of algebraic integers. We show that for each $\beta\in[1,2]$, there is a unique KMS$_\beta$ state, and we…

Given a unital $*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}$ together with a suitable positive filtration of its set of irreducible bounded representations, one can construct a C$^*$-algebra $A_0$ with a dense two-sided ideal $A_c$ such that $\mathscr{A}$ maps…

We consider a Hecke algebra naturally associated with the affine group with totally positive multiplicative part over an algebraic number field K and we show that the C*-algebra of the Bost-Connes system for K can be obtained from our Hecke…

Let $G=K\ltimes A$ be the semi-direct product group of a compact group $K$ acting on an abelian locally compact group $A$. We describe the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G)$ of $G$ in terms of an algebra of operator fields defined over the spectrum of…

Motivated by the search for new examples of "noncommutative manifolds", we study the noncommutative geometry of the group C*-algebras of various discrete groups. The examples we consier are the infinite dihedral group ${\bf Z}…

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…

We establish axiomatic characterizations of $K$-theory and $KK$-theory for real C*-algebras. In particular, let $F$ be an abelian group-valued functor on separable real C*-algebras. We prove that if $F$ is homotopy invariant, stable, and…

We study C*-algebras associated with subsemigroups of groups. For a large class of such semigroups including positive cones in quasi-lattice ordered groups and left Ore semigroups, we describe the corresponding semigroup C*-algebras as…

We study the structure of C*-algebras associated with compactly aligned product systems over group embeddable right LCM-semigroups. Towards this end we employ controlled maps and a controlled elimination method that associates the original…
