This paper characterizes the unital C*-algebra generated by a single invertible element as the unital free product of C[0,1] and C(T). To do this, I develop techniques to split and merge presentations of C*-algebras using free products in…

We associate reduced and full C*-algebras to arbitrary rings and study the inner structure of these ring C*-algebras. As a result, we obtain conditions for them to be purely infinite and simple. We also discuss several examples.…

We show that nuclear C*-algebras have a refined version of the completely positive approximation property, in which the maps that approximately factorize through finite dimensional algebras are convex combinations of order zero maps. We use…

We study uniform perturbations of intermediate C*-subalgebras of inclusions of simple C*-algebras. If a unital simple C*-algebra has a simple C*-subalgebra of finite index, then sufficiently close simple intermediate C*-subalgebras are…

We prove that a simple, separable, nuclear, purely infinite classifiable $C^*$-algebra is weakly semiprojective if and only if its $K$-groups are direct sums of cyclic groups.

A $C^*$-algebra satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) of Rosenberg and Schochet if it is equivalent in Kasparov's $KK$-theory to a commutative $C^*$-algebra. This paper is motivated by the problem of establishing the range of…

We construct an example of a simple approximately homogeneous C*-algebra such that its Elliott invariant admits an automorphism which is not induced by an automorphism of the algebra.

We construct an example of a simple nuclear separable unital stably finite Z-stable C*-algebra along with an action of the circle such that the crossed product is simple but not Z-stable.

Let X be a path connected, compact metric space and let A be a unital separable simple nuclear Z-stable real rank zero C*-algebra. We classify all the unital *-embeddings (up to approximate unitary equivalence) of C(X) into A. Specifically,…

An algebra is said to be quasi-directly finite when any left-invertible element in its unitization is automatically right-invertible. It is an old observation of Kaplansky that the von Neumann algebra of a discrete group has this property;…

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely the class of simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have their…

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We introduce a concept, which we call the $n$-filling property, for an action of a group on a separable unital $C^*$-algebra $A$. If $A=C(\Omega)$ is a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra and the action is…

We construct a simple, separable, unital, and nuclear C*-algebra with weakly unperforated K_0-group which does not absorb the Jiang-Su algebra Z tensorially. As a result, we obtain a stably finite counter-example to Elliott's classification…

To an $r$-dimensional subshift of finite type satisfying certain special properties we associate a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$. This algebra is a higher rank version of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. In particular, it is simple, purely infinite and…

We define a notion of tracial $\mathcal{Z}$-absorption for simple not necessarily unital C*-algebras, study it systematically, and prove its permanence properties. This extends the notion defined by Hirshberg and Orovitz for unital…

We consider three notions of divisibility in the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra, and show how they reflect properties of the C*-algebra. We develop methods to construct (simple and non-simple) C*-algebras with specific divisibility…

Let $G$ be a Hausdorff, \'etale groupoid that is minimal and topologically principal. We show that $C^*_r(G)$ is purely infinite simple if and only if all the nonzero positive elements of $C_0(G^0)$ are infinite in $C_r^*(G)$. If $G$ is a…
