Two areas of mathematics which have received substantial attention in recent years are the theory of optimal transport and the Elliott classification programme for C*-algebras. We combine these two seemingly unrelated disciplines to make…

We show that the following conditions on a C*-algebra are equivalent: (i) it has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings, (ii) the spectrum of every self adjoint element is finite, (iii) it is finite dimensional. We prove that…

We show that the authors of the commented paper draw their conclusions from the eigenvalues of truncated Hamiltonian matrices that do not converge as the matrix dimension increases. In one of the studied examples the authors missed the real…

We obtain an analogue of Coburn's description of the Toeplitz algebra in the setting of truncated Toeplitz operators. As a byproduct, we provide several examples of complex symmetric operators which are not unitarily equivalent to truncated…

We present a model for spectral theory of families of selfadjoint operators, and their corresponding unitary one-parameter groups (acting in Hilbert space.) The models allow for a scale of complexity, indexed by the natural numbers…

The (abstract) Cuntz algebra is generated by non-unitary isometries and has therefore no intrinsic finiteness properties. To approximate the elements of the Cuntz algebra by finite-dimensional objects, we thus consider a spatial…

We study the connection between *-representations of algebras associated with graphs, locally-scalar graph representations and the problem about the spectrum of a sum of two Hermitian operators. For algebras associated with Dynkin graphs we…

We study the problem of determining when the reduced twisted group C*-algebra associated with a discrete group G is simple and/or has a unique tracial state, and present new sufficient conditions for this to hold. One of our main tools is a…

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…

This is a survey of work in which the author was involved in recent years. We consider C*-algebras constructed from representations of one or several algebraic endomorphisms of a compact abelian group - or, dually, of a discrete abelian…

In the first part of this manuscript a relationship between the spectrum of self-adjoint operator matrices and the spectra of their diagonal entries is found. This leads to enclosures for spectral points and in particular, enclosures for…

We introduce a new class of operator algebras -- tracially complete C*-algebras -- as a vehicle for transferring ideas and results between C*-algebras and their tracial von Neumann algebra completions. We obtain structure and classification…

In this paper, we introduce a class of generalized tracial approximation ${\rm C^*}$-algebras. Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a class of unital ${\rm C^*}$-algebras which have tracially $\mathcal{Z}$-absorbing (tracial nuclear dimension at most $n$,…

This paper is devoted to self-adjoint cyclically compact operators on Hilbert--Kaplansky module over a ring of bounded measurable functions. The spectral theorem for such a class of operators are given. We apply this result to partial…

We study non-selfadjoint operator algebras that can be entirely understood via their finite-dimensional representations. In contrast with the elementary matricial description of finite-dimensional $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras, in the…

Any $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of locally compact, Hausdorff topological space $\mathcal X$. From the commutative commutative Gelfand-Na\u{\i}mark theorem it follows that the spectrum of any commutative $C^*$-algebra…

This thesis consists of two parts, both situated in operator theory, and both motivated by the quest for rigorous quantizations of gauge theories. The first part is based on [Skripka,vN - JST 2022], [van Suijlekom,vN - JNCG 2021], and [van…

A universal C*-algebra of the electromagnetic field is constructed. It is represented in any quantum field theory which incorporates electromagnetism and expresses basic features of this field such as Maxwell's equations, Poincar\'e…

For a conjugation $C$ on a separable, complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, the set $\mathcal{S}_C$ of $C$-symmetric operators on $\mathcal{H}$ forms a weakly closed, selfadjoint, Jordan operator algebra. In this paper we study…

We provide a representation of the $C^*$-algebra generated by multidimensional integral operators with piecewise constant kernels and discrete ergodic operators. This representation allows us to find the spectrum and to construct the…
