We regard a right Hilbert C*-module X over a C*-algebra A endowed with an isometric *-homomorphism \phi: A\to L_A(X) as an object X_A of the C*-category of right Hilbert A-modules. Following a construction by the first author and Roberts,…

This article introduces pre-Hilbert $*$-categories: an abstraction of categories exhibiting "algebraic" aspects of Hilbert-space theory. Notably, finite biproducts in pre-Hilbert $*$-categories can be orthogonalised using the Gram-Schmidt…

We introduce a novel commutative C*-algebra $C_\mathcal{R}(X)$ of functions on a symplectic vector space $(X,\sigma)$ admitting a complex structure, along with a strict deformation quantization that maps a dense subalgebra of…

We characterize the pairs of operator spaces which occur as pairs of Morita equivalence bimodules between non-selfadjoint operator algebras in terms of the mutual relation between the spaces. We obtain a characterization of the operator…

We develop a general framework for the study of strong Morita equivalence in which $C^*$-algebras and hermitian star products on Poisson manifolds are treated in equal footing. We compare strong and ring-theoretic Morita equivalences in…

Given a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and two $\mathbb{G}$-$W^*$-algebras $\alpha: A\curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$ and $\beta: B\curvearrowleft \mathbb{G}$, we study the notion of equivariant $W^*$-Morita equivalence $(A,…

We construct a non-formal deformation machinery for the actions of the Heisenberg supergroup analogue to the one developed by M. Rieffel for the actions of R^d. However, the method used here differs from Rieffel's one: we obtain a Universal…

Warped convolutions of operators were recently introduced in the algebraic framework of quantum physics as a new constructive tool. It is shown here that these convolutions provide isometric representations of Rieffel's strict deformations…

We develop criteria to guarantee uniqueness of the C$^*$-norm on a *-algebra $\mathcal{B}$. Nontrivial examples are provided by the noncommutative algebras of $\mathcal{C}$-valued functions $\mathcal{S}_J^\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and…

The duality principle for Gabor frames is one of the pillars of Gabor analysis. We establish a far-reaching generalization to Morita equivalent $C^*$-algebras where the equivalence bimodule is a finitely generated projective Hilbert…

We show that the gluing construction for Hilbert modules introduced by Raeburn in his computation of the Picard group of a continuous-trace C*-algebra (Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 1981) can be applied to arbitrary C*-algebras, via an algebraic…

We consider a variant of the notion of Morita equivalence appropriate to weak* closed algebras of Hilbert space operators, which we call {\em weak Morita equivalence}. We obtain new variants, appropriate to the dual algebra setting, of the…

Let \alpha:G --> G be an endomorphism of a discrete amenable group such that [G:\alpha(G)]<infinity. We study the structure of the C^* algebra generated by the left convolution operators acting on the left regular representation space,…

We define a categorical framework in which we build a systematic construction that provides generic invariants for C*-algebras. The benefit is significant as we show that any invariant arising this way automatically enjoys nice properties…

Given a correspondence X over a C*-algebra A, we construct a C*-algebra and a Hilbert C*-bimodule over it whose crossed product is isomorphic to the augmented Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebra of X. This construction enables us to establish a…

In this article we survey some of the recent goings-on in the classification programme of C$^*$-algebras, following the interesting link found between the Cuntz semigroup and the classical Elliott invariant and the fact that the Elliott…

Let F be a right Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra B, and suppose that F is equipped with a left action, by compact operators, of a second C*-algebra A. Tensor product with F gives a functor from Hilbert C*-modules over A to Hilbert…

Taking advantage of the quantale-theoretic description of \'etale groupoids we study principal bundles, Hilsum-Skandalis maps, and Morita equivalence in terms of modules on inverse quantal frames. The Hilbert module description of quantale…

Let $A$ be a (non-unital, in general) C*-algebra with center $Z(M(A))$ of its multiplier algebra, and let $\{ X, \langle .,. \rangle \}$ be a full Hilbert $A$-module. Then any bijective bounded module morphism $T$, for which every…

A $*$-bimodule for a unital $*$-algebra $A$ is an $A$-bimodule $X$ which is a vector space with involution $x\mapsto x^+$ satisfying $(a\cdot x\cdot b)^+=b^+\cdot x^+\cdot b^+$ for $x\in X$ and $a,b\in A$. An algebraic model for…
