It was recently shown that gl^(1|1) admits an infinite family of simple current extensions. Here, these findings are reviewed and explicit free field realisations of the extended algebras are constructed. The leading contributions to the…
We develop a framework suitable for obtaining simplicity criteria for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff etale groupoids. This is based on the study of certain non-degenerate $C^*$-subalgebras (in the case of groupoids, the $C^*$-algebra…
We take a new look at dilation theory for nonself-adjoint operator algebras. Among the extremal (co)extensions of a representation, there is a special property of being fully extremal. This allows a refinement of some of the classical…
We establish a platform to transfer $L_p$-completely bounded maps on tensor products of von Neumann algebras to $L_p$-completely bounded maps on the corresponding amalgamated free products. As a consequence, we obtain a H\"ormander-Mikhlin…
We prove unit-free versions of both the associative and the non-associative Vidav-Palmer theorems. Then these results are applied to prove a unit-free version of the Blecher-Ruan-Sinclair non-associative characterization of unital…
Reduced HNN extensions of von Neumann algebras (as well as $C^*$-algebras) will be introduced, and their modular theory, factoriality and ultraproducts will be discussed. In several concrete settings, detailed analysis on them will be also…
We consider a family of dynamical systems (A,alpha,L) in which alpha is an endomorphism of a C*-algebra A and L is a transfer operator for \alpha. We extend Exel's construction of a crossed product to cover non-unital algebras A, and show…
We study conditions that will ensure that a crossed product of a C*-algebra by a discrete exact group is purely infinite (simple or non-simple). We are particularly interested in the case of a discrete non-amenable exact group acting on a…
We use tools from free probability to study the spectra of Hermitian operators on infinite graphs. Special attention is devoted to universal covering trees of finite graphs. For operators on these graphs we derive a new variational formula…
Let L be a countable elementary language, N be a Fraisse limit. We consider free amalgamation for L-structures where L is arbitrary. If free amalgamation for finitely generated substructures exits in N, then it is a stationary independece…
We show that a large family of groups without non-abelian free subgroups satisfy the following strengthening of non-amenability: they each have a rich supply of irreducible representations defining exotic C*-algebras. The construction is…
In the paper, we give two new characterizations of separable inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras. Base on these characterizations, we show that a unital full free product of two inner quasidiagonal C*-algebras is inner quasidiagonal again. As…
A finite hypergraph $H$ consists of a finite set of vertices $V(H)$ and a collection of subsets $E(H) \subseteq 2^{V(H)}$ which we consider as partition of unity relations between projection operators. These partition of unity relations…
In various occasions the conjugacy problem in finitely generated amalgamated products and HNN extensions can be decided efficiently for elements which cannot be conjugated into the base groups. This observation asks for a bound on how many…
We study the structure of C*-algebras associated with compactly aligned product systems over group embeddable right LCM-semigroups. Towards this end we employ controlled maps and a controlled elimination method that associates the original…
We present the first examples of higher-rank lattices whose reduced $C^{*}$-algebras satisfy strict comparison, stable rank one, selflessness, uniqueness of embeddings of the Jiang--Su algebra, and allow explicit computations of the Cuntz…
The purpose of this note is to prove two results. First, we observe that discrete groups with property $\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{PHP}}$ in the sense of Ozawa give rise to completely selfless reduced twisted group $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras,…
Certain reduced free products of C*-algebras, (A,phi)=(A_1,phi_1)*(A_2,\phi_2), taken with respect to faithful states, at least one of which is not a trace, are shown to be purely infinite and simple. It is assumed that one of the A_i…
We show that any free action of a connected Lie group of polynomial growth on a finite dimensional locally compact space has finite tube dimension. This is shown to imply that the associated crossed product C*-algebra has finite nuclear…
We show that an amalgamated free product $G*_{A}H$ admits a discrete isolated ordering, under some assumptions of $G,H$ and $A$. This generalizes the author's previous construction of isolated orderings, and unlike known constructions of…
