We translate the concept of the join of topological spaces to the language of $C^*$-algebras, replace the $C^*$-algebra of functions on the interval $[0,1]$ with evaluation maps at $0$ and $1$ by a unital $C^*$-algebra $C$ with appropriate…
Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…
We present a stable uniqueness theorem for non-unital C*-algebras. Generalized tracial rank one is defined for stably projectionless simple C*-algebras. Let $A$ and $B$ be two stably projectionless separable simple amenable C*-algebras with…
We prove simplicity and pure infiniteness results for a certain class of labelled graph $C^*$-algebras. We show, by example, that this class of unital labelled graph $C^*$-algebras is strictly larger than the class of unital graph…
We review the notion of nuclear dimension for C*-algebras introduced by Winter and Zacharias. We explain why it is a non-commutative version of topological dimension. After presenting several examples, we give a brief overview of the state…
We obtain a kind of structure theorem for the automorphism group ${\rm Aut}{\cal A}$ of a unital C$^{*}$-algebra ${\cal A}$. According to it, ${\rm Aut}{\cal A}$ can be regarded as a subgroup of the semi-direct product of direct product…
The simplest case of a manifold with singularities is a manifold M with boundary, together with an identification of the boundary with a product M1 x P, where P is a fixed manifold. The associated singular space is obtained by collapsing P…
We use non-symmetric distances to give a self-contained account of C*-algebra filters and their corresponding compact projections, simultaneously simplifying and extending their general theory.
We construct an endomorphism of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal{Z}$ which does not admit a conditional expectation. This answers a question in the testamentary homework by E. Kirchberg. As an application, it is shown that any unital…
In an attempt to propose more general conditions for decoherence to occur, we study spectral and ergodic properties of unital, completely positive maps on not necessarily unital $C^*$-algebras, with a particular focus on gapped maps for…
The C*-envelope of a non self-adjoint operator algebra is known to encode many properties of the underlying subalgebra. However, the C*-envelope does not always encode the residual finite-dimensionality of an operator algebra. To elucidate…
We study purely atomic representations of C*-algebras associated to row-finite and source-free higher-rank graphs. We describe when purely atomic representations are unitarily equivalent and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a…
We study the automorphism group of a unital, simple, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebra. In this paper, we generalize the results by the authors in \cite{pr_auto} to $\mathcal{Z}$-stable $C^{*}$-algebras $\mathfrak{A}$ such that…
Motivated by a question of L. Robert, asking whether $\rm L(T(A)) = Lsc_{C}(T(A))$ for any separable C*-algebra A, we introduce and initiate the study of \emph{tracially reflexive C*-algebras}. We first prove that commutative C*-algebras…
It is shown that projectionless C*-algebras that tensorially absorb the Jiang-Su algebra have the property that every element is a limit of products of two nilpotents. This is then used to classify the approximate unitary equivalence…
In this paper, we characterize $\ell$-open and $\ell$-closed $C^*$-algebras and deduce that $\ell$-open $C^*$-algebras are $\ell$-closed, as conjectured by Blackadar. Moreover, we show that a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra is $\ell$-open…
We study the structure of certain classes of homologically trivial locally C*-algebras. These include algebras with projective irreducible Hermitian A-modules, biprojective algebras, and superbiprojective algebras. We prove that, if A is a…
This paper explores the following regularity properties and their relationships for simple, not-necessarily-unital C*-algebras: (i) Jiang-Su stability, (ii) Unperforation in the Cuntz semigroup, and (iii) slow dimension growth (applying…
We prove that every bounded local triple derivation on a unital C*-algebra is a triple derivation. A similar statement is established in the category of unital JB*-algebras.
We give the first examples of \'etale (non-Hausdorff) groupoids $\mathcal G$ whose $C^*$-algebras contain singular elements that cannot be approximated by singular elements in $\mathcal C_c(\mathcal G)$. We provide two examples: one is a…
