The uniform tracial completion of a C*-algebra A with compact non-empty trace space T(A) is obtained by completing the unit ball with respect to the uniform 2-seminorm $\|a\|_{2,T(A)}=\sup_{\tau \in T(A)} \tau(a^*a)^{1/2}$. The trace…
In this paper we introduce an inverse semigroup $\mathcal{S}(E,C)$ associated to a separated graph $(E,C)$ and describe its internal structure. In particular we show that it is strongly $E^*$-unitary and can be realized as a partial…
In \cite{CDD22} we investigated the structure of $\ast$-isomorphisms between von Neumann algebras $L(\Gamma)$ associated with graph product groups $\Gamma$ of flower-shaped graphs and property (T) wreath-like product vertex groups as in…
In this paper we study various rigidity aspects of the von Neumann algebra $L(\Gamma)$ where $\Gamma$ is a graph product group \cite{Gr90} whose underlying graph is a certain cycle of cliques and the vertex groups are the wreath-like…
We study index pairings for crossed-product $C^*$-algebras arising from minimal actions on the Cantor set. We utilize Putnam's orbit-breaking AF-subalgebras and embeddings to show we can compute any index pairing for Cantor minimal system…
Combining the theory of extensions of C*-algebras and the Pimsner construction, we show that every countable infinite discrete group admits an ergodic action on arbitrary unital Kirchberg algebra. In the proof, we give a Pimsner…
Motivated by the identification $C(\mathbb{T})\cong C_r^*(\mathbb{Z})$ and the wave equation on the circle, we explore the wave equation in the context of reduced group $C^*$-algebras $C_r^*(G)$ for countably infinite, possibly non-abelian…
Connectivity is a fundamental property of quantum graphs, previously studied in the operator system model for matrix quantum graphs and via graph homomorphisms in the quantum adjacency matrix model. In this paper, we develop an algebraic…
We consider the variety of spectral measures that are induced by quasitraces on the spectrum of a self-adjoint operator in a simple separable unital and Z-stable C$^*$-algebra. This amounts to a continuous map from the simplex of…
In this paper we give a streamlined overview of some of the recent constructions provided with K.-H. Neeb, G. \'Olafsson and collaborators for a new geometric approach to Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). Motivations, fundamental…
In this paper we investigate quantum circle bundles from the point of view of compact quantum metric spaces. The raw input data is a circle action on a unital $C^*$-algebra together with a quantum metric of spectral geometric origin on the…
We show that the noncommutative differential geometry of quantum projective spaces is compatible with Rieffel's theory of compact quantum metric spaces. This amounts to a detailed investigation of the Connes metric coming from the unital…
We introduce and study a class $\mathcal{M}$ of generalized positive definite kernels of the form $K\colon X\times X\to L(\mathfrak{A},L(H))$, where $\mathfrak{A}$ is a unital $C^{*}$-algebra and $H$ a Hilbert space. These kernels encode…
We prove that the approximately inner automorphism group of a separable strongly stable von Neumann algebra is contractible in the u-topology. Thus the automorphism group of the hyperfinite type III_1 factor is contractible.
We identify which conditions on an open normal subgroupoid of a LCH \'etale groupoid with twist are necessary and sufficient for the subgroupoid's reduced twisted C*-algebra to be a C*-diagonal in the ambient groupoid C*-algebra. We do so…
These lecture notes on $C^{*}$-algebras were prepared for a couple of courses given by the author at IMSc and also at IIT Gandhinagar. The topics covered are: Gelfand-Naimark theorems, universal C*-algebras, Hilbert C*-modules, crossed…
We study the problem of free denoising. For free selfadjoint random variables $a,b$, where we interpret $a$ as a signal and $b$ as noise, we find $E(a|a+b)$. To that end, we study a probability measure $\mu^{( \mathrm{ov} )}_{a,a+b}$ on…
In this paper we generalize a specific quantized convexity structure of the generalized state space of a $C^*$-algebra and examine the associated extreme points. We introduce the notion of $P$-$C^*$-convex subsets, where $P$ is any positive…
We complete our analysis of the Temperley-Lieb subproduct systems, which define quantum analogues of Arveson's $2$-shift, by extending the main results of the previous paper to the general parameter case. Specifically, we show that the…
The diadic $C^*$-algebra $\cQ_2$ contains canonically a copy of the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$. It is shown that the inclusion $\cO_2 \subset \cQ_2$ is $C^*$-irreducible and rigid. It follows that the injective envelopes of these two…
