The Weyl algebra,- the usual C*-algebra employed to model the canonical commutation relations (CCRs), has a well-known defect in that it has a large number of representations which are not regular and these cannot model physical fields.…

We establish comparison and divisibility properties for crossed product C*-algebras arising from automorphisms of algebras C (X, D) which lie over minimal homeomorphisms, from actions of compact groups which have finite Rokhlin dimension…

Under suitable conditions, a substitution tiling gives rise to a Smale space, from which three equivalence relations can be constructed, namely the stable, unstable, and asymptotic equivalence relations. We denote with $S$, $U$, and $A$…

Complex projective algebraic varieties with $\mathbb{C}^*$-actions can be thought of as geometric counterparts of birational transformations. In this paper we describe geometrically the birational transformations associated to rational…

It is shown that the Cuntz semigroup of a space with dimension at most two, and with second cohomology of its compact subsets equal to zero, is isomorphic to the ordered semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions on the space with values…

We initiate the study of computable presentations of real and complex C*-algebras under the program of effective metric structure theory. With the group situation as a model, we develop corresponding notions of recursive presentations and…

We show that the $C^*$-algebra associated by Nekrashevych to a contracting self-similar group is simple if and only if the corresponding complex $\ast$-algebra is simple. We also improve on Steinberg and Szaka\'c's algorithm to determine if…

The Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies the one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological…

In this paper, we prove results on the relative radius of comparison of C*-algebras and their crossed products, focusing on the non-unital setting. More precisely, let $A$ be a stably finite simple non-type-I (not necessarily unital)…

We show that C*-algebras generated by irreducible representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem of Rosenberg and Schochet. This result combines with previous work to show that these…

Suppose that A is a separable C*-algebra and that G_* is a (graded) subgroup of K_*(A). Then there is a natural short exact sequence 0 \to G_* \to K_*(A) \to K_*(A)/G_* \to 0. In this note we demonstrate how to geometrically realize this…

The Boidol group is the smallest non-*-regular exponential Lie group. It is of dimension 4 and its Lie algebra is an extension of the Heisenberg Lie algebra by the reals with the roots 1 and -1. We describe the C*-algebra of the Boidol…

We construct a diffeomorphism of the two-dimensional torus which is isotopic to the identity and whose rotation set is not a polygon.

We show that if X is a finite dimensional locally compact Hausdorff space, then the crossed product of C_0(X) by any automorphism has finite nuclear dimension. This generalizes previous results, in which the automorphism was required to be…

Given a group G, a (unital) ring A and a group homomorphism $\sigma : G \to \Aut(A)$, one can construct the skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$. We show that a skew group ring $A \rtimes_{\sigma} G$, of an abelian group G, is simple if…

Noncommutative tori with real multiplication are the irrational rotation algebras that have special equivalence bimodules. Y. Manin proposed the use of noncommutative tori with real multiplication as a geometric framework for the study of…

We introduce {\it covariant structures} $\left\{(\A,\k),(\a,\aa),\(\ha,\haa\)\right\}$ formed of a separable $C^*$-algebra $\A$, a measurable twisted action $(\a,\aa)$ of the second-countable locally compact group $\G$\,, a measurable…

We study exceptional Jordan algebras and related exceptional group schemes over commutative rings from a geometric point of view, using appropriate torsors to parametrize and explain classical and new constructions, and proving that over…

We extend our previous results on generalized Dixmier-Douady theory to graded $C^*$-algebras, as means for explicit computations of the invariants arising for bundles of ungraded $C^*$-algebras. For a strongly self-absorbing $C^*$-algebra…

Let $H$ be the C*-algebra of a non-trivial compact quantum group acting freely on a unital C*-algebra $A$. It was recently conjectured that there does not exist an equivariant $*$-homomorphism from $A$ (type-I case) or $H$ (type-II case) to…
