We say that a unital C*-algrebra A has the approximate positive factorization property (APFP) if every element of A is a norm limit of products of positive elements of A. (There is also a definition for the nonunital case.) T. Quinn has…

We give a number of examples of exotic actions of locally compact groups on separable nuclear C*-algebras. In particular, we give examples of the following: (1) Minimal effective actions of ${\mathbb{Z}}$ and $F_n$ on unital nonsimple prime…

Complexity rank for $C^*$-algebras was introduced by the second author and Yu for applications towards the UCT: very roughly, this rank is at most $n$ if you can repeatedly cut the $C^*$-algebra in half at most $n$ times, and end up with…

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.

In this work we construct a C*-algebra from an injective endomorphisms of some group G, allowing the endomorphism to have infinite cokernel. We generalize results obtained by I. Hirshberg and also by J. Cuntz and A. Vershik. In good cases…

We introduce and investigate some examples of C$^*$-algebras which are related to multiplication maps in the ring of $p$-adic integers. We find ideals within these algebras and use the corresponding short exact sequences to compute the…

This paper introduces a canonical Polish groupoid associated to any separable unital C*-algebra, termed the unitary conjugation groupoid. It is defined as the semidirect product of the algebra's dual space by its unitary group, acting by…

We investigate when discrete, amenable groups have $C^*$-algebras of real rank zero. While it is known that this happens when the group is locally finite, the converse in an open problem. We show that if $C^*(G)$ has real rank zero, then…

Let (G,P) be a quasi-lattice ordered group and let X be a compactly aligned product system over P of Hilbert bimodules. Under mild hypotheses we associate to X a C*-algebra which we call the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra of X. Our construction…

The local multiplier C*-algebra M_{loc}(A) of any C*-algebra A can *-isomorphicly embedded into the injective envelope I(A) of A in such a way that the canonical embeddings of A into both these C*-algebras are identified. If A is…

On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…

We say that a C*-algebra X has the approximate n-th root property (n\geq 2) if for every a\in X with ||a||\leq 1 and every \epsilon>0 there exits b\in X such that ||b||\leq 1 and ||a-b^n||<\epsilon. Some properties of commutative and…

We study C*-irreducibility of inclusions of reduced twisted group C*-algebras and of reduced group C*-algebras. We characterize C*-irreducibility in the case of an inclusion arising from a normal subgroup, and exhibit many new examples of…

We give an example of an exact, stably finite, simple. separable C*-algebra D which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Moreover, D has the following additional properties. It is stably finite, approximately divisible, has real rank…

Given a not-necessarily Hausdorff, topologically free, twisted \'etale groupoid $(G, L)$, we consider its "essential groupoid C*-algebra", denoted $C^*_{ess}(G, L)$, obtained by completing $C_c(G, L)$ with the smallest among all…

In this short note, we construct a variant of the Bohr topos of a C*-algebra which takes into account the topology of the algebra in a finer way and such that this construction is stable under pullback along geometric morphisms. This…

We give an example of a simple separable C*-algebra which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Our example is nonnuclear and stably finite, has real rank zero and stable rank one, and has a unique tracial state. It has trivial K_1,…

We show that every proper, dense ideal in a C*-algebra is contained in a prime ideal. It follows that a subset generates a C*-algebra as a not necessarily closed ideal if and only if it is not contained in any prime ideal. This allows us to…

In this paper we give an example of a proper standard C*-algebra (a proper C*-subalgebra of B(H) containing C(H)) whose automorphism and isometry groups are topologically reflexive. Furthermore, we prove that in the case of extensions of…

In this paper, we consider pure infiniteness of generalized Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to labeled spaces $(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{E})$. It is shown that a $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E,\mathcal{L},\mathcal{E})$ is purely infinite in the sense…
