We give characterizations of quasitriangular operator algebras along the line of Voiculescu's characterization of quasidiagonal $C^*$-algebras.
This paper argues that the unitary Cuntz semigroup, introduced in [10] and termed Cu$_1$, contains crucial information regarding the classification of non-simple C$^*$-algebras. We exhibit two (non-simple) C$^*$-algebras that agree on their…
This is an introduction to the quantum groups, or rather to the simplest quantum groups. The idea is that the unitary group $U_N$ has a free analogue $U_N^+$, whose standard coordinates $u_{ij}\in C(U_N^+)$ are allowed to be free, and the…
In this paper, we extend the notion of microstate free entropy to the bi-free setting. In particular, using the bi-free analogue of random matrices, microstate bi-free entropy is defined. Properties essential to an entropy theory are…
Given a not-necessarily Hausdorff, topologically free, twisted \'etale groupoid $(G, L)$, we consider its "essential groupoid C*-algebra", denoted $C^*_{ess}(G, L)$, obtained by completing $C_c(G, L)$ with the smallest among all…
We say that a C*-algebra is nowhere scattered if none of its quotients contains a minimal open projection. We characterize this property in various ways, by topological properties of the spectrum, by divisibility properties in the Cuntz…
We consider converses to the density theorem for irreducible, projective, unitary group representations restricted to lattices using the dimension theory of Hilbert modules over twisted group von Neumann algebras. We show that under the…
The notion of a plump subgroup was recently introduced by Amrutam. This is a relativized version of Powers' averaging property, and it is known that Powers' averaging property is equivalent to C*-simplicity. With this in mind, we introduce…
For a large class of C*-algebras $A$, we calculate the $K$-theory of reduced crossed products $A^{\otimes G}\rtimes_rG$ of Bernoulli shifts by groups satisfying the Baum--Connes conjecture. In particular, we give explicit formulas for…
We show that the pure state evaluation map from $ M_{n}(\mathbb{C}) $ to $ C(\mathbb{C} \mathbb{P}^{n-1}) $ (a completely positive map of $ C^{*} $-algebras) extends to a cochain map from the universal calculus on $ M_{n}(\mathbb{C} ) $ to…
Given a Fell bundle $\mathscr C\overset{q}{\to}\Xi$ over the discrete groupoid $\Xi$, we study the symmetry of the associated Hahn algebra $\ell^{\infty,1}(\Xi\!\mid\!\mathscr C)$ in terms of the isotropy subgroups of $\Xi$. We prove that…
We characterize the hypocompact radical of a semicrossed product in terms of properties of the dynamical system. We show that an element A of a semicrossed product is in the hypocompact radical if and only if the Fourier coefficients of A…
We introduce the notion of K-theoretic duality for extensions of separable unital nuclear $C^*$-algebras by using K-homology long exact sequence and cyclic six term exact sequence for K-theory groups of extensions. We then prove that the…
Complexity rank for $C^*$-algebras was introduced by the second author and Yu for applications towards the UCT: very roughly, this rank is at most $n$ if you can repeatedly cut the $C^*$-algebra in half at most $n$ times, and end up with…
We describe a Markov dilation for any weak* continuous semigroup $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of selfadjoint unital completely positive Fourier multipliers acting on the group von Neumann algebra $\mathrm{VN}(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$.
We survey the model theory of operator systems and C$^*$-algebras.
Motivated by string diagrammatic approach to undirected tracial quantum graphs by Musto, Reutter, Verdon (2018), in the former part of this paper we diagrammatically formulate directed nontracial quantum graphs by Brannan, Chirvasitu,…
We study the free probabilistic analog of optimal couplings for the quadratic cost, where classical probability spaces are replaced by tracial von Neumann algebras, and probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^m$ are replaced by non-commutative…
In this paper, we investigate quantum Fourier analysis on subfactors and unitary fusion categories. We prove the complete positivity of the comultiplication for subfactors and derive a primary $n$-criterion of unitary categorifcation of…
Given a topologically free action of a countable group $G$ on a compact metric space $X$, there is a canonical correspondence between continuous 1-cocycles for this group action and diagonal 1-parameter groups of automorphisms of the…
