Suppose a C*-algebra A acts by adjointable operators on a Hilbert A-module X. Pimsner constructed a C*-algebra O_X which includes, for particular choices of X, crossed products of A by Z, the Cuntz algebras O_n, and the Cuntz-Krieger…

We study representations of the Cuntz algebras O_d and their associated decompositions. In the case that these representations are irreducible, their restrictions to the gauge-invariant subalgebra UHF_d have an interesting cyclic structure.…

We extend the notion of Rokhlin dimension from topological dynamical systems to $C^*$-correspondences. We show that in the presence of finite Rokhlin dimension and a mild quasidiagonal-like condition (which, for example, is automatic for…

We introduce a class of subproduct systems of finite dimensional Hilbert spaces whose fibers are defined by the Jones-Wenzl projections in Temperley-Lieb algebras. The quantum symmetries of a subclass of these systems are the free…

Cuntz algebra $\mathcal O_2$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by two isometries $s_1, s_2$ satisfying $s_1s_1^*+s_2s_2^*=1$. This is separable, simple, infinite $C^*$-algebra containing a copy of any nuclear $C^*$-algebra. The…

We investigate free products of finite dimensional $C^*$-algebras with amalgamation over diagonal subalgebras. We look to determine under what circumstances a given free product is exact and/or nuclear. In some cases we find a description…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

Let $P$ be a unital subsemigroup of a group $G$. We propose an approach to $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras associated to product systems over $P$. We call the $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra of a given product system $\mathcal{E}$ its covariance algebra and…

Let $D$ and $E$ be subspaces of the tensor product of the finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces $\mathbb{C}^m \otimes \mathbb{C}^n$. We show that the number of product vectors in $D$ with their partial conjugates in $E$ is uniformly bounded…

There has recently been much interest in the $C^*$-algebras of directed graphs. Here we consider product systems $E$ of directed graphs over semigroups and associated $C^*$-algebras $C^*(E)$ and $\mathcal{T}C^*(E)$ which generalise the…

We introduce the nuclear dimension of a C*-algebra; this is a noncommutative version of topological covering dimension based on a modification of the earlier concept of decomposition rank. Our notion behaves well with respect to inductive…

We introduce a subproduct system of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces by using the Motzkin planar algebra and its Motzkin Jones-Wenzl idempotents, which generalizes the Temperley-Lieb subproduct system of Habbestad and Neshveyev. We provide…

We prove a classification theorem for purely infinte simple C*-algebras that is strong enough to show that the tensor products of two different irrational rotation algebras with the same even Cuntz algebra are isomorphic. In more detail,…

We show that finite-dimensional order unit spaces equipped with a continuous sequential product as defined by Gudder and Greechie are homogeneous and self-dual. As a consequence of the Koecher-Vinberg theorem these spaces therefore…

We prove that the category of abstract Cuntz semigroups is bicomplete. As a consequence, the category admits products and ultraproducts. We further show that the scaled Cuntz semigroup of the (ultra)product of a family of C*-algebras agrees…

We investigate $C^*$-algebras associated with row-finite topological higher-rank graphs with no source, which are based on product system $C^*$-algebras. We prove the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem, and provide the condition of simplicity…

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…

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be a closed convex cone. Assume that $P$ is pointed, i.e. the intersection $P \cap -P=\{0\}$ and $P$ is spanning, i.e. $P-P=\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Denote the interior of $P$ by $\Omega$. Let $E$ be a product system…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

We introduce the notion of a computably strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra and show that the following C*-algebras are computably strongly self-absorbing: the Cuntz algebras $\mathcal{O}_2$ and $\mathcal{O}_\infty$, the UHF algebra…
