In this paper, we study hyperrigidity for $C^*$-algebras. We will show that hyperrigidity can be expressed solely in terms of representations, without the need to involve general unital completely positive maps.
A subset $\mathcal{G}$ generating a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to be hyperrigid if for every faithful nondegenerate $*$-representation $A\subseteq B(H)$ and a sequence $\phi_n:B(H) \to B(H)$ of unital completely positive maps, we have that…
Although Arveson's hyperrigidity conjecture was recently resolved negatively by B. Bilich and A. Dor-On, the problem remains open for commutative $C^*$-algebras. Relatively few examples of hyperrigid sets are known in the commutative case.…
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra containing a closed two-sided ideal $J$ and an operator system $X$. We enlarge $X$ to an operator system $\mathcal{S}(X,J)$ in $\mathbb{M}_2(A)$, and show that in order for $\mathcal{S}(X,J)$ to be…
Motivated by Arveson's conjecture, we introduce a notion of hyperrigidity for a partial order on the state space of a $C^*$-algebra $B$. We show how this property is equivalent to the existence of a boundary: a subset of the pure states…
A group $G$ is called $W^*$-superrigid (resp. $C^*$-superrigid) if it is completely recognizable from its von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ (resp. reduced $C^*$-algebra $C_r^*(G)$). Developing new technical aspects in Popa's deformation/rigidity…
In this paper we explore a generic notion of superrigidity for von Neumann algebras $L(G)$ and reduced $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G)$ associated with countable discrete groups $G$. This allows us to classify these algebras for various new…
In this paper we give a decomposition of a state on a $C^*$-algebra into a family of pure states and a decomposition of a representation into a family of irreducible representation. Then, we use it to solve the following three problems…
We study restriction and extension properties for states on C$^*$-algebras with an eye towards hyperrigidity of operator systems. We use these ideas to provide supporting evidence for Arveson's hyperrigidity conjecture. Prompted by various…
We prove that for every compact, convex subset $K\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ the operator system $A(K)$, consisting of all continuous affine functions on $K$, is hyperrigid in the C*-algebra $C(\mathrm{ex}(K))$. In particular, this result implies…
We construct discrete groups $G$ with infinite center that are nevertheless W*-superrigid, meaning that the group von Neumann algebra $L(G)$ fully remembers the group $G$. We obtain these rigidity results both up to isomorphisms and up to…
We revisit the results of Kim, and of Katsoulis and Ramsey concerning hyperrigidity for non-degenerate C*-correspondences. We show that the tensor algebra is hyperrigid, if and only if Katsura's ideal acts non-degenerately, if and only if…
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra generated by some separable operator system $S$. More than a decade ago, Arveson conjectured that $S$ is hyperrigid in $A$ if all irreducible representations of $A$ are boundary representations for $S$.…
Arveson's hyperrigidity conjecture predicts that if the non-commutative Choquet boundary of a separable operator system $\mathcal{S}$ is the entire spectrum of its generated C*-algebra $\mathcal{B}$ then $\mathcal{S}$ is hyperrigid in…
A notion of rigidity with respect to an arbitrary semidualizing complex C over a commutative noetherian ring R is introduced and studied. One of the main result characterizes C-rigid complexes. Specialized to the case when C is the relative…
We establish a dilation-theoretic characterization of the Choquet order on the space of measures on a compact convex set using ideas from the theory of operator algebras. This yields an extension of Cartier's dilation theorem to the…
We construct countable groups $G$ with the following new degree of W*-superrigidity: if $L(G)$ is virtually isomorphic, in the sense of admitting a bifinite bimodule, with any other group von Neumann algebra $L(\Lambda)$, then the groups…
We investigate various notions of peaking behaviour for states on a $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra, where the peaking occurs within an operator system. We pay particularly close attention to the existence of sequences of elements forming an…
Let $G$ be a countable group. We introduce several equivalence relations on the set ${\rm Sub}(G)$ of subgroups of $G$, defined by properties of the quasi-regular representations $\lambda_{G/H}$ associated to $H\in {\rm Sub}(G)$ and compare…
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…
