Carlitz proved that, for any prime power q other than 2, the group of all permutations of the finite field F_q is generated by the permutations induced by degree-one polynomials and x^{q-2}. His proof relies on a remarkable polynomial which…
We describe the C*-algebra generated by an irreducible Toeplitz operator $T_{\psi}$, with continuous symbol $\psi $ on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$, and finitely many composition operators on the Hardy space $H^2$ induced by certain…
We study the class of univariate polynomials $\beta_k(X)$, introduced by Carlitz, with coefficients in the algebraic function field $\mathbb F_q(t)$ over the finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with $q$ elements. It is implicit in the work of…
We study modules over the Carlitz ring, a counterpart of the Weyl algebra in analysis over local fields of positive characteristic. It is shown that some basic objects of function field arithmetic, like the Carlitz module, Thakur's…
Let $\varphi$ be a linear-fractional, non-automorphism self-map of $\mathbb{D}$ that fixes $\zeta \in \mathbb{T}$ and satisfies $\varphi^{\prime}(\zeta) \neq 1$ and consider the composition operator $C_{\varphi}$ acting on the Hardy space…
For $q \in \mathbb{R}$, $|q| < 1$ we consider the universal enveloping $C^*$-algebra of a $*$-algebra of $q$-canonical commutation relations ($q$-CCR), which is generated by $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ subject to the relations \[ a_i^* a_j =…
Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian Hausdorff topological group which is non-compact and whose Pontryagin dual $\Gamma$ is partially ordered. Let $\Gamma^{+}\subset\Gamma$ be the semigroup of positive elements in $\Gamma$. The Hardy space…
An umbral calculus over local fields of positive characteristic is developed on the basis of a relation of binomial type satisfied by the Carlitz polynomials. Orthonormal bases in the space of continuous $\mathbb F_q$-linear functions are…
Recently we have used the Carlitz exponential map to define a finitely generated submodule of the Carlitz module having the right properties to be a function field analogue of the group of units in a number field. Similarly, we constructed…
Klein's simple group $H$ of order $168$ is the automorphism group of the plane quartic curve $C$, called Klein quartic. By Torelli Theorem, the full automorphism group $G$ of the Jacobian $J=J(C)$ is the group of order $336$, obtained by…
The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a large class of $\mathfrak{g}$-module algebras which we call factorizable by generalizing the Gauss factorization of (square or rectangular) matrices. This class includes coordinate algebras…
From a system consisting of a right non-degenerate ring $R$, a pair of $R$-bimodules $Q$ and $P$ and an $R$-bimodule homomorphism $\psi:P\otimes Q\longrightarrow R$ we construct a $\Z$-graded ring $\mathcal{T}_{(P,Q,\psi)}$ called the…
This paper is concerned with generalising the results for Lie $CT$-algebras to Leibniz algebras. In some cases our results give a generalisation even for the case of a Lie algebra. Results on $A$-algebras are used to show every Leibniz…
Let $\mathfrak{T}$ denote the full Toeplitz algebra on the Bergman space of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_n.$ For each subset $G$ of $L^{\infty},$ let $\mathfrak{CI}(G)$ denote the closed two-sided ideal of $\mathfrak{T}$ generated by all…
In this paper we analyse the structure of the Cuntz semigroup of certain $C(X)$-algebras, for compact spaces of low dimension, that have no $\mathrm{K}_1$-obstruction in their fibres in a strong sense. The techniques developed yield…
We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…
The (abstract) Cuntz algebra is generated by non-unitary isometries and has therefore no intrinsic finiteness properties. To approximate the elements of the Cuntz algebra by finite-dimensional objects, we thus consider a spatial…
Let G be a finite group, let A be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, and let \alpha \colon G \to Aut (A) be an action of G on A which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. Let A^{\alpha} be the fixed point…
In earlier papers the author studied some classes of equations with Carlitz derivatives for $\mathbb F_q$-linear functions, which are the natural function field counterparts of linear ordinary differential equations. Here we consider…
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…
