We exhibit examples of separable boundaries for non-hyperbolic groups. The main ingredient is the alignment property introduced by Furman in the study of rigidity properties of discrete subgroups of algebraic groups.

We prove the following two results. \begin{enumerate} \item Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital commutative C*-algebra and $\mathcal{A}^d$ be the standard Hilbert C*-module over $\mathcal{A}$. Let $n\geq d$. If $\{\tau_j\}_{j=1}^n$ is any…

In this paper, we study matrix valued positive definite functions on a unimodular group. We generalize two important results of Godement on square integrable positive definite functions to matrix valued square integrable positive definite…

We introduce the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\kappa)$ generated by the Koopman representation $\kappa$ of an \'etale groupoid $G$ acting on a measure space $(X,\mu)$. We prove that for a level transitive self-similar action $(G,E)$ with $E$ finite…

We show, based on previous results, that two separable simple stably projectionless amenable ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras which satisfy the UCT are isomorphic if and only if they have the same Elliott invariant.

Given a free and proper action of a groupoid on a Fell bundle (over another groupoid), we give an equivalence between the semidirect-product and the generalized-fixed-point Fell bundles, generalizing an earlier result where the action was…

Given an action of a groupoid by isomorphisms on a Fell bundle (over another groupoid), we form a semidirect-product Fell bundle, and prove that its $C^{*}$-algebra is isomorphic to a crossed product.

For $p\geq 2$, the $p$-adic ring $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_p$ is the universal $C^*$-algebra generated by a unitary $U$ and an isometry $S_p$ such that $S_pU=U^pS_p$ and $\sum_{l=0}^{p-1}U^lS_pS_p^*U^{-l}=1$. For any $k$ coprime with $p$…

There are various statements in the physics literature about the stratification of quantum states, for example into orbits of a unitary group, and about generalized differentiable structures on it. Our aim is to clarify and make precise…

We give a fresh account of the astonishing interplay between abelian von Neumann algebras, L^\infty-spaces and measure algebras, including an exposition of Maharam's theorem from the von Neumann algebra perspective.

Every representation of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_n$ leads to a unitary representation of the Higman-Thompson group $V_n$. We consider the family $\{\pi_x\}_{x\in [0,1[}$ of permutative representations of $\mathcal{O}_n$ that arise…

We study dynamics of the Latt\`es maps in the complex plane in terms of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated to the endomorphisms of the non-commutative tori. In particular, it is shown that iterations of the Latt\`es maps can be reduced…

In the past two decades, Sorin Popa's breakthrough deformation/rigidity theory has produced remarkable rigidity results for von Neumann algebras $M$ which can be deformed inside a larger algebra $\widetilde M \supseteq M$ by an action…

We derive the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence calculating the K-theory of a $C^{*}$- algebra with $\mathbb{Z}$-action using constructions with equivariant coarse K-homology theory. We then investigate to which extend this idea extends to more…

We construct uncountably many infinite characters of type II for $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$, $n \geq 2$.

We associate a boundary $\mathcal B_{\pi,u}$ to each covariant representation $(\pi,u,H)$ of $C^*$-dynamical system $(G,A,\alpha)$ and study the action of $G$ on $\mathcal B_{\pi,u}$ and its amenability properties. We relate rigidity…

The notion of Fr\'{e}chet locally $C^*$-algebra generalizes the notion of $C^*$-algebra. In this paper, we first present some definitions and basic facts about locally $C^*$-algebra, and then we introduce and study the notion of ideal and…

We give a characterisation of radial Schur multipliers on finite products of trees. The equivalent condition is that a certain generalised Hankel matrix involving the discrete derivatives of the radial function is a trace class operator.…

We consider the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{E}_{n,m}^q$, which is a $q$-twist of two Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras. For the case $|q|<1$, we give an explicit formula which untwists the $q$-deformation showing that the isomorphism class of…

We provide a reference for basic categorial properties of the categories of (possibly non-unital) $\mathbb{C}$-linear $*$-categories or $C^{*}$-categories, and (not necessarily unit-preserving) functors. Generalizing the classical case of…
