We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…

Say that a separable, unital C*-algebra D is strongly self-absorbing if there exists an isomorphism $\phi: D \to D \otimes D$ such that $\phi$ and $id_D \otimes 1_D$ are approximately unitarily equivalent $*$-homomorphisms. We study this…

We give simple and unified proofs of the known stability and rigidity results for Lie algebras, Lie subalgebras and Lie algebra homomorphisms. Moreover, we investigate when a Lie algebra homomorphism is stable under all automorphisms of the…

The C*-envelope of the limit algebra (or limit space) of a contractive regular system of digraph algebras (or digraph spaces) is shown to be an approximately finite C*-algebra and the direct system for the C*-envelope is determined…

This paper investigates and classifies a specific class of one-parameter continuous fields of C*-algebras, which can be seen as generalized AI-algebras. Building on the classification of *-homomorphisms between interval algebras by the…

We introduce a new class of C^*-algebras, which is a generalization of both graph algebras and homeomorphism C^*-algebras. This class is very large and also very tractable. We prove the so-called gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem and the…

A notion of unique ergodicity relative to the fixed-point subalgebra is defined for automorphisms of unital C*-algebras. It is proved that the free shift on any reduced amalgamated free product C*-algebra is uniquely ergodic relative to its…

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…

By the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, any C*-algebra is isometrically isomorphic to a *-algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space which is closed with respect to the topology induced by the operator norm. Hence, the C*-algebras furnish an…

We characterize the class of RFD $C^*$-algebras as those containing a dense subset of elements that attain their norm under a finite-dimensional representation. We show further that this subset is the whole space precisely when every…

We consider a version of a famous open problem formulated by Kadison, asking whether bounded representations of operator algebras are automatically completely bounded. We investigate this question in the context of amenable operator…

We prove closure properties for the class of C*-algebras that are inductive limits of semiprojective C*-algebras. Most importantly, we show that this class is closed under shape domination, and so in particular under shape and homotopy…

In the first part of the paper, we introduce notions of asymptotic continuous orbit equivalence and asymptotic conjugacy in Smale spaces and characterize them in terms of their asymptotic Ruelle algebras with their dual actions. In the…

Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid with a fixed left Haar system. Let $\go/G$ denote the orbit space of $G$ and $C^*(G)$ denote the groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Suppose that the isotropy groups of $G$ are…

We construct the full and reduced C*-algebras of an ample groupoid from its complex Steinberg algebra. We also show that our construction gives the same C*-algebras as the standard constructions. In the last section, we consider an…

The multiplicative group of a number field acts by multiplication on the full adele ring of the field. Generalising a theorem of Laca and Raeburn, we explicitly describe the primitive ideal space of the crossed product C*-algebra associated…

The notion of rigidity of Lie algebra is linked to the following problem: when does a Lie brackets $\mu$ on a vector space g satisfy that every Lie bracket $\mu_1$ sufficiently close to $\mu$ is of the form $\mu_1 = P.\mu $ for some P in…

We show that if $C_u^*(X)$ is a uniform Roe algebra associated to a bounded geometry metric space X, then all bounded derivations on $C^*_u(X)$ are inner.

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

We study the geometry of warped cones over free, minimal isometric group actions and related constructions of expander graphs. We prove a rigidity theorem for the coarse geometry of such warped cones: Namely, if a group has no abelian…
