It is known that a C*-algebra with the Global Glimm Property is nowhere scattered (it has no elementary ideal-quotients), and the Global Glimm Problem asks if the converse holds. We provide a new approach to this long-standing problem by…
We show that a C*-algebra with topological dimension zero has the Global Glimm Property (every hereditary subalgebra contains an almost full nilpotent element) if and only if it is nowhere scattered (no hereditary subalgebra admits a…
The uncovering of new structure on the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra of stable rank one leads to several applications: We answer affirmatively, for the class of stable rank one C*-algebras, a conjecture by Blackadar and Handelman on…
We say that a C*-algebra is soft if it has no nonzero unital quotients, and we connect this property to the Hjelmborg-R{\o}rdam condition for stability and to property (S) of Ortega-Perera-R{\o}rdam. We further say that an operator in a…
If $A$ is a $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra and $a$ is a strictly positive element of $A$ then for every compact subset $K$ of the complete regularization $\mathrm{Glimm}(A)$ of $\mathrm{Prim}(A)$ there exists $\alpha > 0$ such that $K\subset…
We introduce a generalization of Glimm's random choice method, which provides us with an approximation of entropy solutions to quasilinear hyperbolic system of balance laws. The flux-function and the source term of the equations may depend…
We characterize the topology of the Glimm space of a separable C*-algebra and extend the main result of [6] to non-unital AF C*-algebras.
We solve a class of lifting problems involving approximate polynomial relations (soft polynomial relations). Various associated C*-algebras are therefore projective. The technical lemma we need is a new manifestation of Akemann and…
The purpose of this article is to draw attention to some fundamental issues in General Relativity. It is argued that these deep issues cannot be resolved within the standard approach to general relativity that considers {\em every} solution…
We associate reduced and full C*-algebras to arbitrary rings and study the inner structure of these ring C*-algebras. As a result, we obtain conditions for them to be purely infinite and simple. We also discuss several examples.…
We say that a contractive Hilbert space operator is universal if there is a natural surjection from its generated C*-algebra to the C*-algebra generated by any other contraction. A universal contraction may be irreducible or a direct sum of…
Several points regarding cylindrical Brans-Dicke geometries are studied. The issue of particle trajectories for the vacuum cylindrical solution is revisited. The possible particular nature of a global string metric is analysed. The general…
We discuss a number of naturally arising problems in arithmetic, culled from completely unrelated sources, which turn out to have a common formulation involving "thin" orbits. These include the local-global problem for integral Apollonian…
We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…
I give an overview of recent developments in the structure and classification theory of separable, simple, nuclear C*-algebras. I will in particular focus on the role of quasidiagonality and amenability for classification, and on the…
This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of global weak solutions to a generalized Camassa-Holm equation on real line. By introducing some new variables, the equation is transformed into two different semi-linear systems.…
Assuming the four-dimensional space-time to be a general warped product of two surfaces we reduce the four-dimensional Einstein equations to a two-dimensional problem which can be solved. All global vacuum solutions are explicitly…
In this paper we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the low regularity solutions to the Cauchy problem of quasi-linear wave equations with radial symmetric initial data in three space dimensions. The results are based on the…
In this paper, we present a captivating construction by Grothendieck, originally formulated for algebraic varieties, and adapt it to the realm of C*-algebras. Our main objective is to investigate the conditions under which this particular…
We investigate relations on elements in C*-algebras, including *-polynomial relations, order relations and all relations that correspond to universal C*-algebras. We call these C*-relations and define them axiomatically. Within these are…
