We show that Ringrose's diagonal ideals are primitive ideals in a nest algebra (subject to the Continuum Hypothesis). This provides for the first time concerete descriptions of enough primitive ideals to obtain the Jacobson radical as their…
We consider compact group actions on C*- and W*- algebras. We prove results that relate the duality property of the action (as defined in the Introduction) with other relevant properties of the system such as the relative commutant of the…
We consider 2-positive almost order zero (disjointness preserving) maps on C*-algebras. Generalizing the argument of M. Choi for multiplicative domains, we give an internal characterization of almost order zero for 2-positive maps. It is…
We consider an action of a compact group whose dual is archimedean linearly ordered or a direct product (or sum) of such groups on a von Neumann algebra, M. We define the generalized Hardy subspace of the Hilbert space of a standard…
We study distinguished subalgebras and automorphisms of boundary quotients arising from algebraic dynamical systems $(G,P,\theta)$. Our work includes a complete solution to the problem of extending Bogolubov automorphisms from the Cuntz…
Renault proved in 2008 that if $G$ is a topologically principal groupoid, then $C_0(G^{(0)})$ is a Cartan subalgebra in $C^*_r(G, \Sigma)$ for any twist $\Sigma$ over $G$. However, there are many groupoids which are not topologically…
The present paper is devoted to study of ring isomorphisms of $\ast$-subalgebras of Murray--von Neumann factors. Let $\cM,$ $\cN$ be von Neumann factors of type II$_1,$ and let $S(\cM),$ $S(\cN)$ be the $\ast$-algebras of all measurable…
This article is an introductory survey of index theory in the context of noncommutative geometry, written for the occasion of the 70th birthday of Alain Connes.
A hypoelliptic operator in the Heisenberg calculus on a compact contact manifold is a Fredholm operator. Its symbol determines an element in the K-theory of the noncommutative algebra of Heisenberg symbols. We construct a periodic cyclic…
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital C*-algebra. Then the theory of Hilbert C*-modules tells that \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^{n}(a_ia_i^*)^\frac{1}{2}\leq \sqrt{n} \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_ia_i^*\right)^\frac{1}{2}, \quad \forall n \in \mathbb{N},…
A crossed product functor is said to be injective if it takes injective morphisms to injective morphisms. In this paper we show that every locally compact group $G$ admits a maximal injective crossed product $A\mapsto A\rtimes_{\inj}G$.…
In this paper, we streamline the technique of groupoids coarse decomposition for purpose of K-theory computations of groupoids crossed products. This technique was first introduced by Guoliang Yu in his proof of Novikov conjecture for…
In this paper, we prove some common coupled fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying different contractive conditions in the context of complete $C^*$-algebra-valued metric spaces. Moreover, the paper provides an application to prove…
We investigate an invariant for continuous fields of the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_{n+1}$ introduced in our previous work, and find a way to obtain a continuous field of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathcal{O}_\infty)$ from that of $\mathcal{O}_{n+1}$…
We establish a more precise description of those surjective or bijective continuous linear operators preserving orthogonality between C$^*$-algebras. The new description is applied to determine all uniformly continuous one-parameter…
We study compact group actions with finite Rokhlin dimension, particularly in relation to crossed products. For example, we characterize the duals of such actions, generalizing previous partial results for the Rokhlin property. As an…
A famous theorem of Dixmier-Malliavin asserts that every smooth, compactly-supported function on a Lie group can be expressed as a finite sum in which each term is the convolution, with respect to Haar measure, of two such functions. We…
We introduce a notion of mean cohomological independence dimension for actions of discrete amenable groups on compact metrizable spaces, as a variant of mean dimension, and use it to obtain lower bounds for the radius of comparison of the…
We explore the finite-dimensional part of the non-commutative Choquet boundary of an operator algebra. In other words, we seek finite-dimensional boundary representations. Such representations may fail to exist even when the underlying…
We construct a functor that maps $C^*$-correspondences to their Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. The objects in our domain category are $C^*$-correspondences, and the morphisms are the isomorphism classes of $C^*$-correspondences satisfying certain…
