Let $\ell$ be a length function on a group $G$, and let $M_{\ell}$ denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by $\ell$ on $\bell^2(G)$. Following Connes, $M_{\ell}$ can be used as a ``Dirac'' operator for $C_r^*(G)$. It defines a…
We investigate the representation theory of the crossed-product C*-algebra associated to a compact group G acting on a locally compact space X when the stability subgroups vary discontinuously. Our main result applies when G has a principal…
We initiate the study of C*-algebras and groupoids arising from left regular representations of Garside categories, a notion which originated from the study of Braid groups. Every higher rank graph is a Garside category in a natural way. We…
Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact Hausdorff group acting on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, $\alpha$ an irreducible $\mathbb{G}$-representation, and $C(X)$ the $C^*$-algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on $X$. We prove that the…
If A is a C*-algebra, G a locally compact group, K{\subset}G a compact subgroup and {\alpha}:G{\to}Aut(A) a continuous homomorphism, let Ax_{{\alpha}}G denote the crossed product. In this paper we prove that Ax_{{\alpha}}G is nuclear…
We study the group $C^*$-algebras $C^*_{L^{p+}}(G)$ - constructed from $L^p$-integrability properties of matrix coefficients of unitary representations - of locally compact groups $G$ acting on (semi-)homogeneous trees of sufficiently large…
We prove that ideals in amenable second-countable non-Hausdorff \'etale groupoid $C^*$-algebras are determined by their isotropy fibres. As an application, we characterise when the singular functions in Connes' algebra are dense in the…
We study the uniform Roe algebras associated to locally finite groups. We show that for two countable locally finite groups $\Gamma$ and $\Lambda$, the associated uniform Roe algebras $C^*_u(\Gamma)$ and $C^*_u(\Lambda)$ are $*$-isomorphic…
We define and systematically study nonassociative C*-algebras as C*-algebras internal to a topological tensor category. We also offer a concrete approach to these C*-algebras, as G-invariant, norm closed *-subalgebras of bounded operators…
Using techniques at the intersection of deformation/rigidity theory, geometric group theory, and the theory of $C^*$-algebras, we construct a continuum of nonamenable groups $G$ that can be completely reconstructed from their reduced…
We show that if $H \leq G$ is a closed amenable and cocompact subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group, then the reduced group C*-algebra of $G$ is not simple. Equivalently, there are unitary representations of $G$ that are weakly…
Let $G$ be a discrete countable group and $C$ its central subgroup with $G/C$ treeable. We show that for any treeable action of $G/C$ on a standard probability space $X$, the groupoid $G\ltimes X$ is isomorphic to the direct product of $C$…
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. When $\Gamma$ is nonamenable, the reduced and full group $C$*-algebras differ and it is generally believed that there should be many intermediate $C$*-algebras, however few examples are known. In this paper…
Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Consider the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$ of continuous complex functions on $G$, tending to 0 at infinity. The product in $G$ gives rise to a coproduct $\Delta_G$ on the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$. A locally…
We introduce an extended setting to study Hecke pairs $(G,H)$ which admit a regular representation on $L^2(H\backslash G)$, and consequently a $C^*$-algebra. As the result, many pairs of locally compact groups which had been studied in…
We examine inclusions of $C^*$-algebras of the form $A^H \subseteq A \rtimes_{r} G$, where $G$ and $H$ are groups acting on a unital simple $C^*$-algebra $A$ by outer automorphisms and $H$ is finite. It follows from a theorem of Izumi that…
We determine the primitive ideal space and hence the ideal lattice of a large class of separable groupoid C*-algebras that includes all 2-graph C*-algebras. A key ingredient is the notion of harmonious families of bisections in etale…
We establish that a second countable locally compact groupoid possessing a continuous Haar system is topologically amenable if and only if it is Borel amenable. We give some examples and applications.
We introduce the notion of relative topological principality for a family $\{H_\alpha\}$ of open subgroupoids of a Hausdorff \'etale groupoid $G$. The C*-algebras $C^*_r(H_\alpha)$ of the groupoids $H_\alpha$ embed in $ C^*_r(G)$ and we…
Topological quivers are generalizations of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Associated to such a topological quiver Q is a C*-correspondence, and from this correspondence one may…
