This paper studies direct limits of full upper triangular matrix algebras with embeddings which are not *-extendible. A representation of the limit algebra is found so that the generated C*-algebra is the C*-envelope. Some examples are…

We transfer the theory of slack operators and sums-of-squares-criteria for lifts from convex cones to operator systems. These allow to study the following question, among others: Given an abstract operator system, is its enveloping…

We give a new very concrete description of the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra associated to multivariable dynamical system. In the surjective case, this C*-envelope is described as a crossed product by an endomorphism, and as a groupoid…

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…

In this paper it is shown that the lattice of C*-covers of an operator algebra does not contain enough information to distinguish operator algebras up to completely isometric isomorphism. In addition, four natural equivalences of the…

In this paper we study the C*-algebras associated to continuous fields over locally compact metrisable zero dimensional spaces whose fibers are Kirchberg C*-algebras satisfying the UCT. We show that these algebras are inductive limits of…

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space with a fixed orthonormal basis. Let $\mathbb B^{(k)}(H)$ denote the set of operators, whose matrices have no more than $k$ non-zero entries in each line and in each column. The closure of the union (over…

A C*-algebra is determined to a great extent by the partial order of its commutative C*-algebras. We study order-theoretic properties of this dcpo. Many properties coincide: the dcpo is, equivalently, algebraic, continuous, meet-continuous,…

We obtain a description of the C*-algebras which can occur as a simple quotient of the C*-algebra of a locally injective surjection on a compact metric space of finite covering dimension.

Nuclear $C^*$-algebras having a system of completely positive approximations formed with convex combinations of a uniformly bounded number of order zero summands are shown to be approximately finite dimensional.

All operator algebras have (not necessarily irreducible) boundary representations. A unital operator algebra has enough such boundary representations to generate its C*-envelope.

In this paper, we construct, for a certain class of semigroup dynamical systems, two operator algebras that are universal with respect to their corresponding covariance conditions: one being self-adjoint, and another being non-self-adjoint.…

We characterise the strictly closed left invariant C*-subalgebras of the C*-algebra C_b(G) of bounded continuous functions on a locally compact group G. On the dual side, we characterise the strictly closed invariant C*-subalgebras of the…

The completion of a (normed) $C^*$-algebra $A_0[\| \cdot \|_0]$ with respect to a locally convex topology $\tau$ on $A_0$ that makes the multiplication of $A_0$ separately continuous is, in general, a quasi *-algebra, and not a locally…

Let \alpha:G --> G be an endomorphism of a discrete amenable group such that [G:\alpha(G)]<infinity. We study the structure of the C^* algebra generated by the left convolution operators acting on the left regular representation space,…

In this paper, we show that the lattice of C*-covers of a non-selfadjoint operator algebra is either one point or uncountable. We prove that there are non-selfadjoint operator algebras with a one-point lattice in two ways: as an explicit…

Motivated by algebraic quantum field theory and our previous work we study properties of inductive systems of \ $C^*$-algebras over arbitrary partially ordered sets. A partially ordered set can be represented as the union of the family of…

Let $\sS$ be a countable, abelian semigroup of continuous surjections on a compact metric space $X$. Corresponding to this dynamical system we associate two operator algebras, the tensor algebra, and the semicrossed product. There is a…

The notion of bounded element of C*-inductive locally convex spaces (or C*-inductive partial *-algebras) is introduced and discussed in two ways: the first one takes into account the inductive structure provided by certain families of…
