We provide a complete description of the order isomorphisms between the self-adjoint parts of $C^*$-algebras. Furthermore, we characterize such isomorphisms between general operator intervals in $AW^*$-algebras. For the description, we use…

In addition to extending some facts from field coefficients to commutative ring coefficients for Leavitt path algebras with new shorter proofs, we also prove some results that are new even for field coefficients. In particular, we show that…

Refining an idea of Rosenmann and Rosset we show that the now widely studied classical Leavitt algebra $L_K(1,n)$ over a field $K$ is a ring of right quotients of the unital free associative algebra of rank $n$ with respect to the perfect…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field and $d$ a positive integer. For each degenerate symmetric or antisymmetric bilinear form $M$ on $k^{d}$ we determine the structure of the Lie algebra of matrices that preserve $M$, and of the Lie algebra of…

Given locally compact quantum groups $\G_1$ and $\G_2$, we show that if the convolution algebras $L^1(\G_1)$ and $L^1(\G_2)$ are isometrically isomorphic as algebras, then $\G_1$ is isomorphic either to $\G_2$ or the commutant $\G_2'$.…

We study associative multiplications in semi-simple associative algebras over C compatible with the usual one or, in other words, linear deformations of semi-simple associative algebras over C. It turns out that these deformations are in…

Let $K$ be a field. We characterise the row-finite weighted graphs $(E,w)$ such that the weighted Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E,w)$ is isomorphic to an unweighted Leavitt path algebra. Moreover, we prove that if $L_K(E,w)$ is locally finite,…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A= K[x_1, \dots, x_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables, and let $W_n(K)$ be the Lie algebra of all $K$-derivations of $A.$ This Lie algebra also is the free $A$-module…

While every matrix algebra over a field $K$ can be realized as a Leavitt path algebra, this is not the case for every graded matrix algebra over a graded field. We provide a complete description of graded matrix algebras over a field,…

We achieve an extremely useful description (up to isomorphism) of the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ of a finite graph $E$ with coefficients in a field $K$ as a direct sum of matrix rings over $K$, direct sum with a corner of the Leavitt…

We classify all the pairs of a commutative associative algebra with an identity element and its finite-dimensional commutative locally-finite derivation subalgebra such that the commutative associative algebra is derivation-simple with…

In a paper by the authors, the associative and the Lie algebras of Weyl type $A[D]=A\otimes F[D]$ were introduced, where $A$ is a commutative associative algebra with an identity element over a field $F$ of any characteristic, and $F[D]$ is…

We relate two conjectures which have been raised for classification of Leavitt path algebras. For purely infinite simple unital Leavitt path algebras, it is conjectured that K_0 classifies them completely. For arbitrary Leavitt path…

In this paper, we give sharp bounds for the homological dimensions of the Leavitt path algebra $L_K(E)$ of a finite graph $E$ with coefficients in a commutative ring $K$, as well as establish a formula for calculating the homological…

In this note we analyze the C*-algebra associated with a branched covering both as a groupoid C*-algebra and as a Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. We determine conditions when the algebra is simple and purely infinite. We indicate how to compute the…

An algebra $L$ over a field $\Bbb F$, in which product is denoted by $[\,,\,]$, is said to be \textit{ Lie type algebra} if for all elements $a,b,c\in L$ there exist $\alpha, \beta\in \Bbb F$ such that $\alpha\neq 0$ and $[[a,b],c]=\alpha…

We give examples of minimal diffeomorphisms of compact connected manifolds which are not topologically orbit equivalent, but whose transformation group C*-algebras are isomorphic. The examples show that the following properties of a minimal…

This article is the first of two where we investigate to what extent homotopy invariant, excisive and matrix stable homology theories help one distinguish between the Leavitt path algebras $L(E)$ and $L(F)$ of graphs $E$ and $F$ over a…

Let g be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra. Drinfeld showed that the quantum group associated to g is isomorphic as an algebra to the trivial deformation of the universal enveloping algebra of g. In this paper we construct explicitly such…

In this paper we provide an elementary and easy proof that a proper subalgebra of the matrix algebra $ \mathbb{K}^{n,n }$, with $n \geq3$ and $\mathbb{K}$ an arbitrary field, has dimension strictly less than $n^2-1$.
