We continue the study of the effective content of $K$-theory for C*-algebras, with a focus on AF algebras. We show that from a c.e. presentation of an AF algebra it is possible to compute a representation of the algebra as an inductive…

We define united K-theory for real C*-algebras, generalizing Bousfield's topological united K-theory. United K-theory incorporates three functors -- real K-theory, complex K-theory, and self-conjugate K-theory -- and the natural…

We conjecture that a unital C$^*$-algebra is a W$^*$-algebra if and only if each of its maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras is a W$^*$-algebra; this is a space-free analogue of a known result due to G.K. Pedersen. Our main result is a…

We prove that the isomorphism problem for separable nuclear C*-algebras is complete in the class of orbit equivalence relations. In fact, already the isomorphism of simple, separable AI C*-algebras is a complete orbit equivalence relation.…

We prove that the reduced C*-algebras of centerless mapping class groups and outer automorphism groups of free groups are simple, as are the irreducible pure subgroups of mapping class groups and the analogous subgroups of outer…

We construct a simple, separable, unital, and nuclear C*-algebra with weakly unperforated K_0-group which does not absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. As a result, we obtain a stably finite counter-example to Elliott's classification…

We study lifting properties for full product C*-algebras with amalgamation over ${\mathbb C}1$ and give new proofs for some results of Kirchberg and Pisier. We extend the result of Choi on the quasidiagonality of $C^*({\mathbb F}_n)$,…

It is shown that if $A$ and $B$ are unital separable simple nuclear $\mathcal Z$-stable C$^*$-algebras and there is a unital embedding $A \rightarrow B$ which is invertible on $KK$-theory and traces, then $A \cong B$. In particular, two…

We introduce the notion of confined subalgebras in the context of the group von Neumann algebra. We also define Uniformly Recurrent States -- an operator-algebraic analog of Uniformly Recurrent Subgroups. Using this framework, we show that…

Let $P$ be a unital subsemigroup of a group $G$. We propose an approach to $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras associated to product systems over $P$. We call the $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra of a given product system $\mathcal{E}$ its covariance algebra and…

Let H(R,q) be an affine Hecke algebra with a positive parameter function q. We are interested in the topological K-theory of H(R,q), that is, the K-theory of its C*-completion C*_r (R,q). We will prove that $K_* (C*_r (R,q))$ does not…

We prove that the graph C*-algebra $C^*(E)$ of a trimmable graph $E$ is $U(1)$-equivariantly isomorphic to a pullback C*-algebra of a subgraph C*-algebra $C^*(E'')$ and the C*-algebra of functions on a circle tensored with another subgraph…

For any unital separable simple infinite-dimensional nuclear C*-algebra with finitely many extremal traces, we prove that Z-absorption, strict comparison, and property (SI) are equivalent. We also show that any unital separable simple…

Let $H$ be the C*-algebra of a non-trivial compact quantum group acting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$. It was recently conjectured that there does not exist an equivariant $*$-homomorphism from $A$ (type-I case) or $H$ (type-II case) to…

In a recent paper, Pardo and the first named author introduced a class of C*-algebras which which are constructed from an action of a group on a graph. This class was shown to include many C*-algebras of interest, including all Kirchberg…

Within the framework of free actions of compact quantum groups on unital C*-algebras, we propose two conjectures. The first one states that, if $H$ is the C*-algebra of a compact quantum group coacting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$,…

We present a proof for certain cases of the noncommutative Borsuk-Ulam conjectures proposed by Baum, D\k{a}browski, and Hajac. When a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ admits a free action of $\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}$, $k \geq 2$, there is no…
