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…

For an arbitrary countable directed graph E we show that the only possible values of the stable rank of the associated Cuntz-Krieger algebra C*(E) are 1, 2 or \infty. Explicit criteria for each of these three cases are given. 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…

In a graph whose vertices are assigned integer ranks, a path is well-ranked if the endpoints have distinct ranks or some interior point has a higher rank than the endpoints. A ranking is an assignment of ranks such that all nontrivial paths…

The Kumjian-Pask algebra KP(\Lambda) is a graded algebra associated to a higher-rank graph \Lambda and is a generalization of the Leavitt path algebra of a directed graph. We analyze the minimal left-ideals of KP(\Lambda), and identify its…

Here we give an overview on the connection between wavelet theory and representation theory for graph $C^{\ast}$-algebras, including the higher-rank graph $C^*$-algebras of A. Kumjian and D. Pask. Many authors have studied different aspects…

We continue to investigate branching systems of directed graphs and their connections with graph algebras. We give a sufficient condition under which the representation induced from a branching system of a directed graph is faithful and…

If $\Lambda \subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ is a sublattice of index $m$, then $\mathbb{Z}^n/\Lambda$ is a finite abelian group of order $m$ and rank at most $n$. Several authors have studied statistical properties of these groups as we range over…

We introduce the concept of a 1-coaligned $k$-graph and prove that the shift maps of a $k$-graph pairwise *-commute if and only if the $k$-graph is 1-coaligned. We then prove that for 2-graphs $\Lambda$ generated from basic data *-commuting…

We define a metric filtration of the Gordian graph by an infinite family of 1-dense subgraphs. The n-th subgraph of this family is generated by all knots whose fundamental groups surject to a symmetric group with parameter at least n, where…

A certain synchronizing property for subshifts called $\lambda$-synchronization yields $\lambda$-graph systems called the $\lambda$-synchronizing $\lambda$-graph systems for the subshifts. The $\lambda$-synchronizing $\lambda$-graph system…

In this paper, a new invariant was built towards the classification of separable C*-algebras of real rank zero, which we call latticed total K-theory. A classification theorem is given in terms of such an invariant for a large class of…

A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…

For an artinian ring $R$, the directed zero-divisor graph $\Gamma(R)$ is connected if and only if there is no proper one-sided identity element in $R$. Sinks and sources are characterized and clarified for finite ring $R$, especially, it is…

Using a result of Vdovina, we may associate to each complete connected bipartite graph $\kappa$ a $2$-dimensional square complex, which we call a tile complex, whose link at each vertex is $\kappa$. We regard the tile complex in two…

A Berge $k$-factor in a hypergraph is a generalization of a $k$-factor in a graph. In this paper, we study the problem of determining the values $k$ such that every $\lambda$-edge-connected $r$-regular hypergraph $\HH$ with $k|V(\HH)|$ even…

For a directed graph $E$, we compute the $K$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(E)$ from the Cuntz-Krieger generators and relations. First we compute the $K$-theory of the crossed product $C^*(E)\times_\gamma\IT$, and then using duality and…

It is known that, if removing some $n$ edges from a graph $\Gamma$ destroys all subgraphs isomorphic to a given finite graph $K$, then all subgraphs isomorphic to $K$ can be destroyed by removing at most $|E(K)|\cdot n$ edges, which form a…

We generalize the Li-Yang notion of self-similar $k$-graph $(G,\Lambda)$ and its $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{G,\Lambda}$ to any finitely aligned $k$-graph $\Lambda$. We then introduce an inverse semigroup model for $\mathcal{O}_{G,\Lambda}$…

We study the relationship between two key concepts in the theory of (di)graphs: the quotient digraph, and the lift $\Gamma^{\alpha}$ of a base (voltage) digraph. These techniques contract or expand a given digraph in order to study its…
