Approximate morphisms have seen significant study across many areas of mathematics, for instance, in the theory of Absolute (Neighborhood) Retracts in topology, or of almost-commuting unitary matrices in analysis. This paper initiates study…

Any $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of locally compact, Hausdorff topological space $\mathcal X$. From the commutative commutative Gelfand-Na\u{\i}mark theorem it follows that the spectrum of any commutative $C^*$-algebra…

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 for every $n\geq 2$, the reduced group $C^*$-algebras of the countable free groups $C^*_r(\mathbb{F}_n)$ have strict comparison. Our method works in a general setting: for $G$ in a large family of non-amenable groups,…

In this paper we describe a new method of defining C*-algebras from oriented combinatorial data, thereby generalizing the constructions of algebras from directed graphs, higher-rank graphs, and ordered groups. We show that only the most…

A $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to have the ideal property if each closed two-sided ideal of $A$ is generated by the projections inside the ideal, as a closed two sided ideal. $C^*$-algebras with the ideal property are generalization and…

It is shown that if A is a stably finite C*-algebra and E is a countably generated Hilbert A-module, then E gives rise to a compact element of the Cuntz semigroup if and only if E is algebraically finitely generated and projective. It…

We prove stability theorems in the Cuntz semigroup of a commutative C*-algebra which are analogues of classical stability theorems for topological vector bundles over compact Hausdorff spaces. Several applications to simple unital AH…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group, $C$ be the maximal compact connected subgroup of the center of $G$, and let Aut$(G)$ denote the group of Lie automorphisms of $G$, viewed, canonically, also as a subgroup of GL$(\frak G)$, where $\frak G$…

We present examples of non-Hausdorff, etale, essentially principal groupoids for which three results, known to hold in the Hausdorff case, fail. These results are: (A) the subalgebra of continuous functions on the unit space is maximal…

We prove that if a connected and simply connected Lie group $G$ admits connected closed normal subgroups $G_1\subseteq G_2\subseteq \cdots \subseteq G_m=G$ with $\dim G_j=j$ for $j=1,\dots,m$, then its group $C^*$-algebra has closed…

We introduce certain $C^*$-algebras and $k$-graphs associated to $k$ finite dimensional unitary representations $\rho_1,...,\rho_k$ of a compact group $G$. We define a higher rank Doplicher-Roberts algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\rho_1,...,\rho_k}$,…

We examine two classes of examples of Hausdorff \'etale factor groupoids; one comes from taking a quotient space of the unit space of an AF-groupoid, and the other comes from certain nonhomogeneous extensions of Cantor minimal systems…

We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many properties formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition product. We…

I combine recent results in the structure theory of nuclear C*-algebras and in topological dynamics to classify certain types of crossed products in terms of their Elliott invariants. In particular, transformation group C*-algebras…

We consider Deaconu--Renault groupoids associated to actions of finite-rank free abelian monoids by local homeomorphisms of locally compact Hausdorff spaces. We study simplicity of the twisted C*-algebra of such a groupoid determined by a…

We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simple, non-elementary C*-algebra with a unique quasitrace and…

Let X be an infinite compact metric space, \alpha : X \to X a minimal homeomorphism, u the unitary implementing \alpha in the transformation group C*-algebra, and S a class of separable nuclear C*-algebras that contains all unital…

The principal aim of this paper is to give a dynamical presentation of the Jiang-Su algebra. Originally constructed as an inductive limit of prime dimension drop algebras, the Jiang-Su algebra has gone from being a poorly understood oddity…

We prove that if a conditional expectation from a simple $C^*$-algebra onto its $C^*$-subalgebra satisfies the Pimsner-Popa inequality, there exists a quasi-basis. As an application, we establish the Galois correspondence for outer actions…
