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…

We prove that a factorial tracially complete C*-algebra with CPoU has real rank zero and stable rank one. This leads to an essentially complete description of the Cuntz semigroup of these algebras. In particular, the results of this paper…

We investigate $^*$-homomorphisms with nuclear dimension equal to zero. In the framework of classification of $^*$-homo-morphisms, we characterise such maps as those that can be approximately factorised through an AF-algebra. Along the way,…

It is easy to see that every character (i.e. unital *-homomorphism to the complex numbers) of a commutative unital associative *-algebra is a pure state (i.e. extreme point in the convex set of all normalized positive linear functionals).…

The concept of quasi-isometric embedding maps between $*$-algebras is introduced. We have obtained some basic results related to this notion and similar to quasi-isometric embedding maps on metric spaces, under some conditions, we give a…

Let $A$ be a separable, unital and exact $C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem. We prove uniqueness theorems up to unitary conjugacy for unital, full and nuclear maps from $A$ into ultraproducts of finite von Neumann…

We define the profinite completion of a C*-algebra, which is a pro-C*-algebra, as well as the pro-C*-algebra of a profinite group. We show that the continuous representations of the pro-C*-algebra of a profinite group correspond to the…

In a pure C*-algebra (i.e., one having suitable regularity properties in its Cuntz semigroup), any element on which all bounded traces vanish is a sum of 7 commutators.

We study bounded bilinear maps on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ having product property at $c\in A$. This leads us to the question of when a C$^*$-algebra is determined by products at $c.$ In the first part of our paper, we investigate this question…

We introduce a factorization for the map between moduli spaces of stable maps which forgets one marked point. This leads to a study of universal relations in the cohomology of stable map spaces in genus zero.

We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C*-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we give an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. It is…

We address the classification problem for graph $C^*$-algebras of finite graphs (finitely many edges and vertices), containing the class of Cuntz-Krieger algebras as a prominent special case. Contrasting earlier work, we do not assume that…

We prove that for a bijective, unital, linear map between absolute order unit spaces is an isometry if, and only if, it is absolute value preserving. We deduce that, on (unital) $JB$-algebras, such maps are precisely Jordan isomorphisms.…

We show that a separable C*-algebra $A$ is $\mathcal{Z}$-stable if and only if its uncorrected central sequence algebra $A' \cap A_{\mathcal{U}}$ is pure, if and only if Kirchberg's central sequence algebra $F(A)$ is pure. More generally,…

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 initiate a study of linear maps on $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ that have the property that they factor through a tracial von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{A,\tau})$ via operators $Z\in M_n(\mathcal{A})$ whose entries consist of positive elements from…

We give a complete classification of the ideals of the core of the C*-algebras associated with self-similar maps under a certain condition. Any ideal is completely determined by the intersection with the coefficient algebra C(K) of the…

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

We study properties of a group, abelian group, ring, or monoid $B$ which (a) guarantee that every homomorphism from an infinite direct product $\prod_I A_i$ of objects of the same sort onto $B$ factors through the direct product of finitely…

Given a separated graph $(E,C)$, there are two different C*-algebras associated to it, the full graph C*-algebra $C^*(E,C)$, and the reduced one $C^*_{\text{red}} (E,C)$. For a large class of separated graphs $(E,C)$, we prove that…
