Let $X\subset \mathbb{C}^n; Y\subset \mathbb{C}^m$ be closed affine varieties and let $\phi: X\to Y$ be an algebraic bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism. Then ${\rm deg}\ X={\rm deg}\ Y.$ Similarly, let $(X,0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0), (Y,0)\subset…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. A $C^*$-algebra $A$ is an exotic $C^*$-algebra (associated to $\Gamma$) if there exist proper surjective $C^*$-quotients $C^*(\Gamma)\to A\to C^*_r(\Gamma)$. In this paper, we show that a large class of…

In recent years the theory of dendroidal sets has emerged as an important framework for higher algebra. In this article we introduce the concept of a $C^*$-algebraic drawing of a dendroidal set. It depicts a dendroidal set as an object in…

We undertake a systematic study of the so-called $2$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_2$. This is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_2$ such that $S_2U=U^2S_2$ and $S_2S_2^*+US_2S_2^*U^*=1$.…

In this note we prove that a homeomorphism is countably-expansive if and only if it is measure-expansive. This result is applied for showing that the $C^1$-interior of the sets of expansive, measure-expansive and continuum-wise expansive…

We define a groupoid from a labelled space and show that it is isomorphic to the tight groupoid arising from an inverse semigroup associated with the labelled space. We then define a local homeomorphism on the tight spectrum that is a…

Building on an argument by Toms and Winter, we show that if $A$ is a simple, separable, unital, $\mathcal{Z}$-stable C*-algebra, then the crossed product of $C(X,A)$ by an automorphism is also Z-stable, provided that the automorphism…

Inspired by the recent work of Bekka, we study two reasonable analogues of property (T) for not necessarily unital C*-algebras. The stronger one of the two is called ``property (T)'' and the weaker one is called ``property (T_{e})''. It is…

Following Robert's [26], we study the structure of unitary groups and groups of approximately inner automorphisms of unital $C^*$-algebras, taking advantage of the former being Banach-Lie groups. For a given unital $C^*$-algebra $A$, we…

(1) Let 1\leq k\leq \omega. Call an atom structure \alpha weakly k neat representable, the term algebra is in \RCA_n\cap \Nr_n\CA_{n+k}, but the complex algebra is not representable. Call an atom structure neat if there is an atomic algebra…

We investigate the structure of the fixed-point algebra of $\mathcal{O}_n$ under the action of the cyclic permutation of the generating isometries. We prove that it is $*$-isomorphic with $\mathcal{O}_n$, thus generalizing a result of Choi…

Suppose A and B are unital C*-algebras and A is separable. Let Rep(A,B) denote the set of all unital *-homomorphisms from A to B with the topology of pointwise convergence. We consider the problem of when the closure of the unitary orbit of…

We characterise when the Leavitt path algebras over $\mathbb{Z}$ of two arbitrary countable directed graphs are $*$-isomorphic by showing that two Leavitt path algebras over $\mathbb{Z}$ are $*$-isomorphic if and only if the corresponding…

We prove that the pure state space is homogeneous under the action of the automorphism group (or a certain smaller group of approximately inner automorphisms) for a fairly large class of simple separable nuclear C*-algebras, including the…

We show that if $A$ is a unital $C^*$-algebra and $B$ is a Cuntz-Krieger algebra for which $A\otimes\mathbb{K} \cong B\otimes\mathbb{K}$, then $A$ is a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. Consequently, corners of Cuntz-Krieger algebras are Cuntz-Krieger…

We investigate dynamical systems consisting of a locally compact Hausdorff space equipped with a partially defined local homeomorphism. Important examples of such systems include self-covering maps, one-sided shifts of finite type and, more…

We identify a class of linearly ordered topological spaces $X$ that may satisfy the property that $X\times X$ is homeomorphic to $X\times_l X$ or can be embedded into a linearly ordered space with the stated property. We justify the…

Suppose $A$ is a separable unital $C(X)$-algebra each fibre of which is isomorphic to the same strongly self-absorbing and $K_{1}$-injective $C^{*}$-algebra $D$. We show that $A$ and $C(X) \otimes D$ are isomorphic as $C(X)$-algebras…

When a locally compact group acts on a C*-correspondence, it also acts on the associated Cuntz-Pimsner algebra in a natural way. Hao and Ng have shown that when the group is amenable the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of the crossed product…

Motivated by Exel's inverse semigroup approach to combinatorial C*-algebras, in a previous work the authors defined an inverse semigroup associated with a labelled space. We construct a representation of the C*-algebra of a labelled space,…
