Using the tools of Sz.-Nagy--Foias theory of contractions, we describe in detail the invariant subspaces of the operator $ S\oplus S^* $, where $ S $ is the unilateral shift on a Hilbert space. This answers a question of C\^amara and Ross.

In the present paper we study the structure of C^*-algebras generated by the components of the polar decompositions of operators in Hilbert space satisfying certain commutation relations.

The study of open quantum systems relies on the notion of unital completely positive semigroups on $C^*$-algebras representing physical systems. The natural generalisation would be to consider the unital completely positive semigroups on…

The Kasparov absorption (or stabilization) theorem states that any countably generated Hilbert C*-module is isomorphic to a direct summand in the standard module of square summable sequences in the base C*-algebra. In this paper, this…

Starting from an arbitrary endomorphism $\alpha$ of a unital C*-algebra $A$ we construct a bigger C*-algebra $B$ and extend $\alpha$ onto $B$ in such a way that the extended endomorphism $\alpha$ has a unital kernel and a hereditary range,…

We prove a new uniqueness theorem for the tight C*-algebras of an inverse semigroup by generalizing the uniqueness theorem given for \'etale groupoid C*-algebras by Brown, Nagy, Reznikoff, Sims, and Williams. We use this to show that in the…

We show that the theory of a non-degenerate representation of a C*-algebra A over a Hilbert space H is superstable. Also, we characterize forking, orthogonality and domination of types and show that the theory has weak elimination of…

Singular actions on C*-algebras are automorphic group actions on C*-algebras, where the group need not be locally compact, or the action need not be strongly continuous. We study the covariant representation theory of such actions. In the…

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…

We consider group actions of topological groups on C*-algebras of the types which occur in many physics models. These are singular actions in the sense that they need not be strongly continuous, or the group need not be locally compact. We…

We aim to characterize the category of injective *-homomorphisms between commutative C*-subalgebras of a given C*-algebra A. We reduce this problem to finding a weakly terminal commutative subalgebra of A, and solve the latter for various…

We show that the unit ball of a full Hilbert $C^*$-module is sequentially compact in a certain weak topology if and only if the underlying $C^*$-algebra is finite dimensional. This provides an answer to the question posed in J.…

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…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a normal subgroup. $D(H;G)$ is the crossed product of $C(H)$ and ${\Bbb C}G$ which is only a subalgebra of $D(G)$, the quantum double of $G$. One can construct a $C^*$-subalgebra ${\mathcal{F}}_{_H}$ of the…

The subspace generated by the eigenvectors pertaining to the peripheral spectrum of any stochastic matrix is naturally equipped with a structure of a (finite dimensional abelian) $C^*$-algebra, and the restriction of such a stochastic…

We give a new Banach module characterization of $W^*$-modules, also known as selfdual Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a von Neumann algebra. This leads to a generalization of the notion, and the theory, of W*-modules, to the setting where the…

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 study representations of Hilbert bimodules on pairs of Hilbert spaces. If $A$ is a C*-algebra and $\mathsf{X}$ is a right Hilbert $A$-module, we use such representations to faithfully represent the C*-algebras $\mathcal{K}_A(\mathsf{X})$…

We study the relationship between operator algebras, $C^*$ and von Neumann, acting on a Hilbert space and unitary representations of topological groups on the same space. We obtain certain correspondences between both these families of…

We introduce \textit{singular value functions} for C\(^*\)-algebras, generalizing the singular values of compact operators on Hilbert spaces. We also establish several fundamental properties of these singular value functions and present…
