Nuclear C*-algebras enjoy a number of approximation properties, most famously the completely positive approximation property. This was recently sharpened to arrange for the incoming maps to be sums of order-zero maps. We show that, in…

The purpose of this note is to describe when a general complex algebraic $^*$-algebra is pre-$C^*$-normed, and to investigate their structure when the $^*$-algebras are Baer $^*$-rings in addition to algebraicity. As a main result we prove…

We introduced and study a family of generalized norm on $C^*$-algebras and the notion of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and norm-parallelism with respect to these family of generalized norms are investigated.

We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…

Let $\Lambda = \mathbb{Z}^n$ with lexicographic ordering. $\Lambda$ is a totally ordered group. Let $X = \Lambda^+ * \Lambda^+$. Then $X$ is a $\Lambda$-tree. Analogous to the construction of graph $C^*$-algebras, we form a groupoid whose…

The approach we present is a modification of the Morse theory for unital C*-algebras. We provide tools for the geometric interpretation of noncommutative CW complexes. These objects were introduced and studied in [2],[7] and [14]. Some…

We investigate different notions of recognizability for a free monoid morphism $\sigma: \mathcal{A}^* \to \mathcal{B}^*$. Full recognizability occurs when each (aperiodic) point in $\mathcal{B}^\mathbb{Z}$ admits at most one tiling with…

We show that for a Hecke pair $(G, \Gamma)$ the $C^*$-completions $C^*(L^1(G, \Gamma))$ and $pC^*(\bar{G})p$ of its Hecke algebra coincide whenever the group algebra $L^1(\bar{G})$ satisfies a spectral property which we call…

Let $A$ and $B$ be C*-algebras and $\varphi\colon A\to B$ be a $*$-homomorphism. We discuss the properties of the kernel and (co-)image of the induced map $\mathrm{K}_{0}(\varphi)\colon \mathrm{K}_{0}(A) \to \mathrm{K}_{0}(B)$ on the level…

It is easy to see that every character (i.e. unital *-homomorphism to the complex numbers) of a commutative unital associative *-algebra is a pure state (i.e. extreme point in the convex set of all normalized positive linear functionals).…

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.

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra acting on a Hilbert space $H$, $\sigma:A\to B(H)$ be a linear mapping and $d:A\to B(H)$ be a $\sigma$-derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if $\sigma$ is a continuous $*$-mapping…

We define the categorical cohomology of a k-graph \Lambda\ and show that the first three terms in this cohomology are isomorphic to the corresponding terms in the cohomology defined in our previous paper. This leads to an alternative…

We prove that every AF-algebra is isomorphic to a crossed product of a commutative AF-algebra by a partial automorphism. The case of UHF-algebras is treated in detail.

We define a notion of quantum automorphism group of Graph C*-algebras for finite, connected graphs. Under the assumption that the underlying graph does not have any multiple edge or loop, the quantum automorphism group of underlying…

The aim of the present paper is to describe self-duality and C*- reflexivity of Hilbert {\bf A}-modules $\cal M$ over monotone complete C*-algebras {\bf A} by the completeness of the unit ball of $\cal M$ with respect to two types of…

Given an arbitrary countable ordinal $\alpha $, we introduce the notion of type $I_{\alpha }$ C*-algebra and $\alpha $-subhomogeneous C*-algebra. When $\alpha =0$, these recover the notions of Fell C*-algebra and of commutative C*-algebra,…

In this paper we generalize the notion of a $k$-graph into (countable) infinite rank. We then define our $C^*$-algebra in a similar way as in $k$-graph $C^*$-algebras. With this construction we are able to find analogues to the Gauge…

We show that for a sofic shift Lambda, Matsumoto's C*-algebra O_Lambda is isomorphic to the Cuntz-Krieger algebra of the left Krieger cover graph of Lambda.

In a simple C*-algebra with suitable regularity properties, any unitary or invertible element with de la Harpe--Skandalis determinant zero is a finite product of commutators.
