To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of…
We introduce a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}_V$ of a variety $V$ over the number field $K$ and a $C^*$-algebra $\mathscr{A}_G$ of a reductive group $G$ over the ring of adeles of $K$. Using Pimsner's Theorem we construct an embedding…
We show that the reduced groupoid C*-algebras of continuous fields of \'etale groupoids satisfying the rapid decay property yield continuous fields of C*-algebras. This establishes a new sufficient criterion that applies in the non-amenable…
In this paper we study conditions under which, for an inclusion of finite von Neumann algebras $N \subseteq M$, we have the reduced amalgamated free product $\ast_N M$ is embeddable into $(R \bar{\otimes} N_1)^\omega$ for some other finite…
The main result concerns a sigma-unital C*-algebra A, a strongly lower semicontinuous element h of A**, the enveloping von Neumann algebra, and the set of self-adjoint elements a of A such that a \le h - delta 1 for some delta > 0, where 1…
The authors' recent classification of Jesper Villadsen's remarkable generalization (based on a self-reproducing seed space) of Glimm's infinite tensor product (UHF) C*-algebras, by means of the Cuntz semigroup (in the case of a fixed,…
We decompose the full and reduced C*-algebras of an extension of a groupoid by the circle into a direct sum of twisted groupoid C*-algebras.
We generalize the main result of Kamalov and show that if $G$ is an amenable discrete group with an action $\alpha$ on a finite nuclear unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ such that the reduced crossed product $A\rtimes_{\alpha,r} G$ has property $T$,…
The literature contains interesting examples of inclusions of simple C$^*$-algebras with the property that all intermediate C$^*$-algebras likewise are simple. In this article we take up a systematic study of such inclusions, which we refer…
We study Deaconu-Renault groupoids corresponding to surjective local homeomorphisms on locally compact, Hausdorff, second countable, totally disconnected spaces, and we characterise when the C*-algebras of these groupoids are AF embeddable.…
A C*-algebra (or a group) is called MF (matricial field) if it admits finite dimensional approximate unitary representations which are approximately injective, where approximately is meant with respect to the operator norm. It is proved…
We use axioms of abstract ternary relations to define the notion of a free amalgamation theory. These form a subclass of first-order theories, without the strict order property, encompassing many prominent examples of countable structures…
In this paper we describe the amalgamated free product of two hyperfinite von Neumann algebras over a finite dimensional subalgebra. In general the free product is a finite direct sum of interpolated free group factors and a hyperfinite von…
We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which…
It is well known that "bad" quotient spaces (typically: non-Hausdorff) can be studied by associating to them the groupoid C*-algebra of an equivalence relation, that in the "nice" cases is Morita equivalent to the C*-algebra of continuous…
We study stability of amalgamated free products and HNN extensions of stable groups over finite groups. We focus on operator norm stability, Hilbert-Schmidt stability and stability in permutations. We provide many new examples of stable (or…
Let C be a separable unital C*-algebra, not isomorphic to the complex numbers, equipped with a faithful tracial state. Let A be a unital direct limit of one dimensional NCCW complexes, also equipped with a faithful tracial state. Suppose…
We will show a centrally free action of an amenable rigid C$^*$-tensor category on a properly infinite von Neumann algebra has the Rohlin property. This enables us to prove the fullness of the crossed product of a full factor by minimal…
An example is given of a simple, unital C*-algebra which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This C*-algebra is also an example of an infinite simple C*-algebra which is not purely infinite. A corner of this C*-algebra is…
In an earlier work, the authors proposed a non-selfadjoint approach to the Hao-Ng isomorphism problem for the full crossed product, depending on the validity of two conjectures stated in the broader context of crossed products for operator…
