We obtain a partial classification of the finite groups $G$ for which the integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ has projective cancellation, i.e. for which $P \oplus \mathbb{Z} G \cong Q \oplus \mathbb{Z} G$ implies $P \cong Q$ for projective…

The induction and reduction precesses of an O*-vector space $\M$ obtained by means of a projection taken, respectively, in $\M$ itself or in its weak bounded commutant $\M'_\w$ are studied. In the case where $\M$ is a partial GW*-algebra,…

We find a substantial class of pairs of $*$-homomorphisms between graph C*-algebras of the form $C^*(E)\hookrightarrow C^*(G)\twoheadleftarrow C^*(F)$ whose pullback C*-algebra is an AF graph C*-algebra. Our result can be interpreted as a…

We show that the finiteness length of an $S$-arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ in a noncommutative isotropic absolutely almost simple group $G$ over a global function field is one less than the sum of the local ranks of $G$ taken over the places…

Order unit property of a positive element in a $C^{*}$-algebra is defined. It is proved that precisely projections satisfy this order theoretic property. This way, unital hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebras of a $C^{*}$-algebra are…

In this note we give a precise statement and a detailed proof for reconstruction problem of weak bialgebra maps. As an application we characterize indecomposability of weak algebras in categorical setting.

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

Using a diagrammatic reformulation of Bayes' theorem, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of Bayesian inference in the setting of finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras. In other words, we prove an analogue of…

We study nonunital $C^*$-algebras such that for any element there exists a local unit and prove that in such algebras there are no frames. This fact was previously known only for commutative algebras. Among other results, we establish some…

We characterize covariant positive decomposable maps between unital C*-algebras in terms of a dilation theorem, which generalizes a seminal result by H. Scutaru from Rep. Math. Phys. 16 (1):79-87, 1979. As a case study, we provide a certain…

It is shown that a strongly self-absorbing C*-algebra is of real rank zero and absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra if it contains a nontrivial projection. We also consider cases where the UCT is automatic for strongly self-absorbing C*-algebras,…

For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…

We show that a separable purely infinite C*-algebra is of real rank zero if and only if its primitive ideal space has a basis consisting of compact-open sets and the natural map K_0(I) -> K_0(I/J) is surjective for all closed two-sided…

In the given article the notion of infinite norm decomposition of a C$^*$-algebra is investigated. The norm decomposition is some generalization of Peirce decomposition. It is proved that the infinite norm decomposition of any C$^*$-algebra…

Bundles of C*-algebras can be used to represent limits of physical theories whose algebraic structure depends on the value of a parameter. The primary example is the $\hbar\to 0$ limit of the C*-algebras of physical quantities in quantum…

In this paper, we study hyperrigidity for $C^*$-algebras. We will show that hyperrigidity can be expressed solely in terms of representations, without the need to involve general unital completely positive maps.

It is shown that any finite-dimensional homomorphic image of an inverse limit of nilpotent not-necessarily-associative algebras over a field is nilpotent. More generally, this is true of algebras over a general commutative ring k, with…

The Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies the one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological…

For an upper semi-continuous set-valued mapping from one topological space to another and for a lower semi-continuous function defined on the product of these spaces, Berge's theorem states lower semi-continuity of the minimum of this…

It is shown that every nonsingular continuous representation of the group algebra $L^{1}(G)$ in Banach spaces is completely reducible if and only if $G$ is a compact group.
