A collection of partial isometries whose range and initial projections satisfy a specified set of conditions often gives rise to a partial representation of a group. The C*-algebra generated by the partial isometries is thus a quotient of…

An algebraic extended bilinear Hilbert semispace is proposed as being the natural representation space for the algebras of von Neumann.This bilinear Hilbert semispace has a well defined structure given by the representation space of an…

We study Demazure modules which occur in a level $\ell$ irreducible integrable representation of an affine Lie algebra. We also assume that they are stable under the action of the standard maximal parabolic subalgebra of the affine Lie…

We study the algebraic properties of the series $\mathrm{K}_n$ of semigroups, which is inspired by \cite{Ki} and has origins in convexity theory. In particular, we describe Green's relations on $\mathrm{K}_n$, prove that there exists a…

We say that a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ satisfies the similarity property ((SP)) if every bounded homomorphism $u\colon \mathcal{A} \to \mathcal{B}(\mathit{H})$, where $\mathit{H}$ is a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We…

Let $A$ be a homogeneous C*-algebra and $\phi$ a state on $A.$ We show that if $\phi$ satisfies a certain faithfulness condition, then there is a net of finite-rank, unital completely positive, $\phi$-preserving maps on $A$ that tend to the…

These notes are the output of a decade of research on how the results about dilations of one-parameter CP-semigroups with the help of product systems, can be put forward to d-parameter semigroups - and beyond. While exisiting work on the…

Different (fibrewise) amalgamated products of continuous C*-bundles have been studied over the last years, one of the main question being to know when these amalgamated products are continuous C*-bundles. In order to gather these approaches…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected, nilpotent Lie group whose irreducible unitary representations are square-integrable modulo the center. We obtain characterization results for reproducing formulas associated with the left…

We characterize the class of RFD $C^*$-algebras as those containing a dense subset of elements that attain their norm under a finite-dimensional representation. We show further that this subset is the whole space precisely when every…

The pro-algebraic fundamental group can be understood as a completion with respect to finite-dimensional non-commutative algebras. We introduce finer invariants by looking at completions with respect to Banach and C*-algebras, from which we…

We construct classes of von Neumann algebra modules by considering ``column sums" of noncommutative L^p spaces. Our abstract characterization is based on an L^{p/2}-valued inner product, thereby generalizing Hilbert C*-modules and…

For Ore semigroups $P$ with an order unit, we prove that there is a bijection between $E_0$-semigroups over $P$ and product systems of $C^{*}$-correspondences over $P^{op}$. We exploit this bijection and show that the reduced…

Generalizing the notion of continuous Hilbert space representations of compact topological groups we define unitary continuous correpresentations of $C^*$-completions of compact quantum group Hopf algebras on arbitrary Hilbert spaces. It is…

Let G = Aut(T) be the automorphism group of a regular tree T. We study continuous irreducible representations of G that preserve a continuous strongly nondegenerate sesquilinear form of finite index on a Hilbert space. These are already…

The category of $C^*$-algebras is blessed with many different tensor products. In contrast, virtually the only tensor product ever used in the category of von Neumann algebras is the normal spatial tensor product. We propose a definition of…

This note concerns the still open question of representability of Noetherian PI-algebras. Extending a result of Rowen and Small (with an observation of Bergman) that every finitely generated module over a commutative Noetherian ring…

In this exposition we highlight product systems as the semigroup analogue of Fell bundles. Motivated by Fock creation operators we extend the definition of Fowler's product systems over unital discrete left-cancellative semigroups, via both…

We investigate the generalized derivations and show that every generalized derivation on a simple Hilbert $C^*$-module either is closable or has a dense range. We also describe dynamical systems on a full Hilbert $C^*$-module ${\mathcal M}$…

Let X be a product system over a quasi-lattice ordered group. Under mild hypotheses, we associate to X a C*-algebra which is co-universal for injective Nica covariant Toeplitz representations of X which preserve the gauge coaction. Under…
