These notes give an expanded account of my lectures at the CIRM-IHP research school on 'Methods in representation theory and operator algebras', January 6-10, 2025. Their main goal is to explain a proof of a theorem of A. Wassermann, that…

Let $G$ and $H$ be Hausdorff ample groupoids and let $R$ be a commutative unital ring. We show that if $G$ and $H$ are equivalent in the sense of Muhly-Renault-Williams, then the associated Steinberg algebras of locally constant $R$-valued…

We prove that the $L_1$-norms associated with a positive element $a$ of a unital C*-algebra are equivalent to the norm of C*-algebra if and only if $a$ is invertible.

In this paper, we consider $\text{C}^*$-algebras with the ideal property (the ideal property unifies the simple and real rank zero cases). We define two categories related the invariants of the $\text{C}^*$-algebras with the ideal property.…

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.

In this paper, we study a family of $C^*$-subalgebras defined by fixed points of generalized gauge actions of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra, by introducing a family of \'etale groupoids whose associated $C^*$-algebras are these $C^*$-subalgebras.…

We give sufficient conditions for a positive stochastic matrix to be similar and strong shift equivalent over $\mathbb{R}_+$ to a positive doubly stochastic matrix through matrices of the same size. We also prove that every positive…

The diadic $C^*$-algebra $\cQ_2$ contains canonically a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$. It is shown that the inclusion $\cO_2 \subset \cQ_2$ is $C^*$-irreducible and rigid. It follows that the injective envelopes of these two…

Every separable nondegenerate C*-correspondence over a commutative C*-algebra with discrete spectrum is isomorphic to a graph correspondence.

The paper studies algebraic strong shift equivalence of matrices over $n$-variable polynomial rings over a principal ideal domain $D$($n\leq 2$). It is proved that in the case $n=1$, every non-zero matrix over $D[x]$ has a full rank…

We exhibit examples of simple separable nuclear C*-algebras, along with actions of the circle group and outer actions of the integers, which are not equivariantly isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In fact, the fixed point subalgebras…

In this paper we show that the universal C*-algebra satisfying the Cuntz-Li relations is generated by an inverse semigroup of partial isometries. We apply Exel's theory of tight representations to this inverse semigroup. We identify the…

We define the class of weakly approximately divisible unital C*-algebras and show that this class is closed under direct sums, direct limits, any tensor product with any C*-algebra, and quotients. A nuclear C*-algebra is weakly…

We study the $C^*$-algebras arising in the construction of Guionnet-Jones-Shlyakhtenko (GJS) for a planar algebra. In particular, we show they are pairwise strongly Morita equivalent, we compute their $K$-groups, and we prove many…

We define equivariant semiprojectivity for C*-algebras equipped with actions of compact groups. We prove that the following examples are equivariantly semiprojective: arbitrary finite dimensional C*-algebras with arbitrary actions of…

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…

Certain $*$-semigroups are associated with the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a partial isometry, which is itself the universal $C^*$-algebra of a $*$-semigroup. A fundamental role for a $*$-structure on a semigroup is emphasized, and…

We provide a characterization of the $C^*$-extreme points of the closed unit ball of a von Neumann algebra and demonstrate that $C^*$-extremality is equivalent to both linear extremality and strong extremality. As an application, we…

Let N_1 (resp.N_2) be a nest A (resp. B) be the corresponding nest algebra, A_0 (resp. B_0) be the subalgebra of compact operators. We prove that the nests N_1, N_2 are isomorphic if and only if the algebras A, B are weakly-* Morita…

Motivated by the study of symmetries of C*-algebras, as well as by multivariate operator theory, we introduce the notion of an SU(2)-equivariant subproduct system of Hilbert spaces. We analyse the resulting Toeplitz and Cuntz-Pimsner…
