We present a quantum mechanical approach to understanding the Hilbert space and the defect Hilbert spaces associated with line operators of BF theory combined with level-$k$ Chern-Simons theory. The defect Hilbert spaces are closely related…

C*-algebras are widely used in mathematical physics to represent the observables of physical systems, and are sometimes taken as the starting point for rigorous formulations of quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics.…

For coalgebras $C$ over a field, we study when the categories ${}^C\Mm$ of left $C$-comodules and $\Mm^C$ of right $C$-comodules are symmetric categories, in the sense that there is a duality between the categories of finitely presented…

Categories of W*-bimodules are shown in an explicit and algebraic way to constitute an involutive W*-bicategory.

We consider the functor C that to a unital C*-algebra A assigns the partial order set C(A) of its commutative C*-subalgebras ordered by inclusion. We investigate how some C*-algebraic properties translate under the action of C to…

Let G be a discrete group which acts properly and isometrically on a complete CAT(0)-space X. Consider an integer d with d=1 or d greater or equal to 3 such that the topological dimension of X is bounded by d. We show the existence of a…

We introduce the notions of normal tensor functor and exact sequence of tensor categories. We show that exact sequences of tensor categories generalize strictly exact sequences of Hopf algebras as defined by Schneider, and in particular,…

We introduce and study two-parameter subproduct and product systems of $C^*$-algebras as the operator-algebraic analogues of, and in relation to, Tsirelson's two-parameter product systems of Hilbert spaces. Using several inductive limit…

We show that when a co-involutive Hopf C*-algebra $S$ coacts via $\delta$ on a C*-algebra $A$, there exists a full crossed product $A\times_\delta S$, with universal properties analogous to those of full crossed products by locally compact…

Let $\mathcal C$ be category over a commutative ring $k$, its Hochschild-Mitchell homology and cohomology are denoted respectively $HH_*(\mathcal C)$ and $HH^*(\mathcal C).$ Let $G$ be a group acting on $\mathcal C$, and $\mathcal C[G]$ be…

In this paper, we show that every completely semi-$\phi$-map on a submodule of a Hilbert $C^*$-module has a completely semi-$\phi$-map extension on the whole of module. We also investigate the extendability of $\phi$-maps and provide…

We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…

We consider a class of C*-algebras associated to one parameter continuous tensor product systems of Hilbert modules, which can be viewed as continuous counterparts of Pimsner's Toeplitz algebras. By exhibiting a homotopy of…

Let F be a right Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra B, and suppose that F is equipped with a left action, by compact operators, of a second C*-algebra A. Tensor product with F gives a functor from Hilbert C*-modules over A to Hilbert…

Imprimitivity theorems provide a fundamental tool for studying the representation theory and structure of crossed-product C*-algebras. In this work, we show that the Imprimitivity Theorem for induced algebras, Green's Imprimitivity Theorem…

We classify all essential extensions of the form $$0 \rightarrow \W \rightarrow \D \rightarrow A \rightarrow 0$$ where $\W$ is the unique separable simple C*-algebra with a unique tracial state, with finite nuclear dimension and with…

Let $\ell$ be a length function on a group G, and let $M_{\ell}$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $\ell$ on $\bell^2(G)$. Following Connes, $M_{\ell}$ can be used as a ``Dirac'' operator for $C_r^*(G)$. It defines a…

Let W be a complex reflection group and H_c(W) the Rational Cherednik algebra for $W$ depending on a parameter c. One can consider the category O for H_c(W). We prove a conjecture of Rouquier that the categories O for H_c(W) and H_{c'}(W)…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra, $H$ be a Hilbert $A$-module and $K(H)$ be the closure of the set of finite rank module maps. We show that the $W^*$-algebra of all bounded $A^{**}$-module maps on the smallest self-dual Hilbert $A^{**}$-module…

The C*-algebra of bounded operators on the separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space cannot be mapped to a W*-algebra in such a way that each unital commutative C*-subalgebra C(X) factors normally through $\ell^\infty(X)$. Consequently,…
