We study residual finite-dimensionality for ultragraph algebras, both in the algebraic and in the C-star-algebraic settings. We introduce graph-theoretic RFD conditions for ultragraphs, extending the conditions that characterize RFD graph…

This article is devoted to the study of the Davis--Wielandt shell and the Davis--Wielandt radii of elements in a $C^*$-algebra. Utilizing a state-space approach, several geometric properties of the algebraic Davis--Wielandt shell are…

We study the HK conjecture and the gap-labelling problem for transformation groupoids associated with free actions of poly-$\Z$ groups on Cantor sets. The main tool is a comparison of the long exact sequences in groupoid homology and…

We study Hilbert transforms on graph products of finite von Neumann algebras, with particular interests on their boundedness on the associated noncommutative $L_p$-spaces for $1<p<\infty$. We establish a generalized Cotlar identity for…

We show that many of the standard nuclearity properties considered in the literature for the hierarchy of operator system tensor products can be expressed as approximate factorization properties, generalizing the well-known Completely…

We introduce a class of separable II$_1$ factors $M$ admitting no non-trivial crossed product decompositions: $M\not\cong B\rtimes_\sigma G$, for any trace preserving action $G\curvearrowright^\sigma (B,\tau)$ of an infinite countable group…

We consider the analytic index and spectral flow of Fredholm operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules. Our spaces and algebras are equipped with a real structure, so the analytic index and spectral flow takes value in the real $K$-theory group of…

Let $G$ be a locally compact second countable amenable group acting on a finite von Neumann algebra $(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ by trace-preserving automorphisms. In this article, we establish a Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg decomposition for this…

We prove that the heat semigroup on the free orthogonal quantum group $O_F^+$ of Kac type satisfies hypercontractivity with the optimal time.

Let $Q^{(k)}_N$ be an $N\times N$ matrices with entries satisfying CAR, normalized to have variance $1/\sqrt{N}$ with respect to the trace of the CAR algebra. We show that, although the operator norm of the real part of an individual matrix…

We prove a one-variable functional inequality which is the free probability analog of Bobkov's isoperimetry inequality. The inequality involves the $L^1$ norm of the difference quotient of a function $f$ and can be viewed as a non-local…

We show that every stable UCT Kirchberg algebra has a principal \'etale groupoid model, and thus contains a C$^*$-diagonal. Every unital UCT Kirchberg algebra $A$ for which $[1_A]_0$ has infinite order in $K_0(A)$ is also covered by our…

We consider a smooth compact manifold with boundary, $M$, embedded in a smooth manifold of the same dimension on which an amenable group $\Gamma$ acts by isometries. We do not assume $M$ to be invariant under $\Gamma$. This results in a…

We obtain a Galois correspondence between the lattice of intermediate C*-discrete subalgebras intermediate to a given irreducible C*-discrete inclusion, and characterize these as targets of compatible expectations under a traciality…

We investigate some genuine Poisson geometric objects in the modular theory of an arbitrary von Neumann algebra $\mathfrak{M}$. Specifically, for any standard form realization $(\mathfrak{M},\mathcal{H},J,\mathcal{P})$, we find a canonical…

We introduce the notion of $k$-regular factorizations for contractions into $k$ factors, generalizing the classical notion of regular factorization due to Sz.-Nagy and Foia\c{s}, and develop a systematic framework for their analysis. Using…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated virtually abelian group and $[\sigma]\in H^2(G;\mathbb{T})$ such that $\sigma(x,y)$ is always a root of unity. We show that the nuclear dimension of the twisted group $C^*$-algebra $C^*(G,\sigma)$ is equal to…

We prove a generalization of the orthogonality relations of Duflo and Moore for ergodic, trace-preserving group actions on von Neumann algebras that are integrable in a suitable sense. We also obtain convolution inequalities that generalize…

We study the Fredholm solvability for a new class of nonlocal boundary value problems associated with group actions on smooth manifolds. Namely, we consider the case in which the group action is defined on an ambient manifold without…

Semiclassical analysis and noncommutative geometry are two pillars of quantum theory. It is only recently that bridges between them have been emerging. In this monograph, we combine various techniques from functional analysis and spectral…
