We investigate the C*-algebra inclusions $B \subset A \rtimes_{\rm r} \Gamma$ arising from inclusions $B \subset A$ of $\Gamma$-C*-algebras. The main result shows that, when $B \subset A$ is C*-irreducible in the sense of R{\o}rdam, and is…

It is shown that the reduced C*-algebra of a nontrivial linear group $\Gamma<GL_{d}(k)$ with trivial amenable radical is selfless. Thus selflessness and simplicity coincide for reduced C*-algebras of linear groups. Similar results are…

We generalize the theory of base norm spaces to the complex case, and further to the noncommutative setting relevant to `quantum convexity'. In particular, we establish the duality between complex Archimedean order unit spaces and complex…

We introduce pseudofinite W*-probability spaces. These are W*-probability spaces that are elementarily equivalent to Ocneanu ultraproducts of finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras equipped with arbitrary faithful normal states. We are…

We quantize the regularity properties of classical graphs that determine spin models for singly-generated Yang-Baxter planar algebras, including the Kauffman polynomial, and construct explicit examples. A source of examples comes from…

We introduce and investigate several quantum group dynamical notions for the purpose of studying $C^*$-simplicity of discrete quantum groups via the theory of boundary actions. In particular we define a quantum analogue of Powers' Averaging…

We investigate a category of quantum posets that generalizes the category of posets and monotone functions. Up to equivalence, its objects are hereditarily atomic von Neumann algebras equipped with quantum partial orders in Weaver's sense.…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital $C^\ast$-algebra equipped with a faithful tracial positive linear functional $\tau$. Denote by $\mathcal{A}_+$ its positive cone. For $p>0$ and $A,B\in\mathcal{A}_+$, we consider the operations $$ A\kappa_p B…

Let $G$ be a second countable locally compact groupoid equipped with a Haar system $\lambda$.In this work, we introduce and develop the notion of amenability for continuous unitary representations of $G$, formulated in terms of Hilbert…

In this paper, a generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for positive sesquilinear maps with values in noncommutative Lp-spaces for p > 1 are obtained. Bound estimates for their real and imaginary parts are also provided, and, as an…

We prove various finite de Finetti theorems for non-commutative distributions which are invariant under the free easy quantum group actions. This complements the free de Finetti theorems by Banica, Curran and Speicher, which mostly focus on…

Given a separable, AF-algebra A and an inductive limit action on A of a finitely generated abelian group with finite Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers, we give a local description of the associated crossed product C*-algebra. In…

We propose the notion of countable decomposability of maps on C*-algebras: a bounded linear map $\varphi : \mathscr{A}\to B(\mathcal{H})$, where $\mathscr{A}$ is a C*-algebra and $\mathcal{H}$ a Hilbert space, will be called countably…

Let C be a separable unital C*-algebra, not isomorphic to the complex numbers, equipped with a faithful tracial state. Let A be a unital direct limit of one dimensional NCCW complexes, also equipped with a faithful tracial state. Suppose…

Let $B \subset A$ be a depth $2$ inclusion of simple unital $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of index-finite type. We show that the second relative commutant $B' \cap A_1$ carries a canonical structure of a weak $C^*$-Hopf…

Using a new approach involving embedding spaces in II$_1$ factors with plenty of freely independent Haar unitaries, we prove that $C^\ast_r(\mathbb{F}_n)\ncong C^\ast_r(\mathbb{F}_m)$ for $n \neq m$. This recovers the seminal result of…

We provide a new construction of a topological group model for the string group of a compact, simple, and simply-connected Lie group, by solving the obstruction realization problem for compact group $G$-kernels on full factors. Furthermore,…

We extend the trace-logarithmic $S$-divergence from matrices to tracial $C^*$-algebras and finite von Neumann algebras, and show that its square root defines a metric on the invertible positive cone. We also prove an integral representation…

It is established that both discrete and continuous semigroups of unital quantum channels are eventually mixed unitary. This result is novel even for the subclass of Schur maps and stands in sharp contrast to the resolution of the…

A collection of 50 open problems around the structure theory of ultraproducts of II$_1$ factors is presented, along with some annotations and references.
