We define a notion of smooth cohomology for $ C^* $-algebras which admit a faithful trace. We show that if $ \A\subseteq B(\h) $ is a $ C^* $-algebra with a faithful normal trace $ \tau $ on the ultra-weak closure $ \bar{\A} $ of $…

Let $M$ be a II$_1$ factor with a von Neumann subalgebra $Q\subset M$ that has infinite index under any projection in $Q'\cap M$ (e.g., $Q$ abelian; or $Q$ an irreducible subfactor with infinite Jones index). We prove that given any…

A group is said to be C*-simple if its reduced C*-algebra is simple. We establish an intrinsic (group-theoretic) characterization of groups with this property. Specifically, we prove that a discrete group is C*-simple if and only if it has…

We investigate the question: when is a higher-rank graph C*-algebra approximately finite dimensional? We prove that the absence of an appropriate higher-rank analogue of a cycle is necessary. We show that it is not in general sufficient,…

Jones and Penneys showed that a finite depth subfactor planar algebra embeds in the bipartite graph planar algebra of its principal graph, via a Markov towers of algebras approach. We relate several equivalent perspectives on the notion of…

We exhibit a Hamel basis for the concrete $*$-algebra $\mathfrak{M}_o$ associated to monotone commutation relations realised on the monotone Fock space, mainly composed by Wick ordered words of annihilators and creators. We apply such a…

A continuous groupoid homomorphism $c$ on a locally compact second countable Hausdorff \'etale groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ gives rise to a $C^{*}$-dynamical system in which every $\beta$-KMS state can be associated to a $e^{-\beta…

We discuss the existence of (injectively) universal C*-algebras and prove that all C*-algebras of density character $\aleph_1$ embed into the Calkin algebra, $Q(H)$. Together with other results, this shows that each of the following…

Let M be a von Neumann algebra on a Hilbert space H with a cyclic and separating unit vector \Omega and let \omega be the faithful normal state on M given by \omega(\cdot)=(\Omega,\cdot\Omega). Moreover, let {N_i :i\in I} be a family of von…

Given a completely rational conformal net A on the circle, its fusion ring acts faithfully on the K_0-group of a certain universal C*-algebra associated to A, as shown in a previous paper. We prove here that this action can actually be…

We give two characterizations of tracially nuclear C*-algebras. The first is that the finite summand of the second dual is hyperfinite. The second is in terms of a variant of the weak* uniqueness property. The necessary condition holds for…

We investigate polynomial endomorphisms of graph $C^*$-algebras and Leavitt path algebras. To this end, we define and analyze the coding graph corresponding to each such an endomorphism. We find an if and only if condition for the…

We introduce and analyze the full $\mathcal{NT}_{\mathcal{L}}(\mathcal{K})$ and the reduced $\mathcal{NT}_{\mathcal{L}}^r(\mathcal{K})$ Nica-Toeplitz algebra associated to an ideal $\mathcal{K}$ in a right tensor $C^*$-precategory…

We show that Shlyakhtenko's free Araki-Woods factors are strongly solid, meaning that for any diffuse amenable von Neumann subalgebra that is the range of a normal conditional expectation, the normalizer remains amenable. This provides the…

We define a notion of quantum automorphism group of Graph C*-algebras for finite, connected graphs. Under the assumption that the underlying graph does not have any multiple edge or loop, the quantum automorphism group of underlying…

We consider unitary simple vertex operator algebras whose vertex operators satisfy certain energy bounds and a strong form of locality and call them strongly local. We present a general procedure which associates to every strongly local…

We describe the representation theory of loop groups in terms of K-theory and noncommutative geometry. This is done by constructing suitable spectral triples associated with the level l projective unitary positive-energy representations of…

For unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we completely characterize the isometric ($*$-) automorphisms of their Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes^\gamma B$. This leads to the characterization of inner and outer isometric…

These notes were written as supplementary material for a five-hour lecture series presented at the Centre de Recerca Mathem\`atica at the Universitat Aut\`onoma de Barcelona from the 13th to the 17th of March 2017. The intention of these…

We give an example showing that the product and linearization formulas for the Wick product versions of the $q$-Charlier polynomials in (Anshelevich 2004) are incorrect. Next, we observe that the relation between monomials and several…
