We suggest a classification scheme for subfactorizable fusion bialgebras, particularly for exchange relation planar algebras. This scheme begins by transforming infinite diagrammatic consistency equations of exchange relations into a finite…

We introduce a definition of braided tensor product $\operatorname{M}\overline{\boxtimes}\operatorname{N}$ of von Neumann algebras equipped with an action of a quasi-triangular quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ (this includes the case when…

The local trajectories method establishes invertibility in algebras $\mathcal{B}= \alg(\mathcal{A}, U_G)$, for a unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ with a non-trivial center, and a unitary group $U_g$, $g\in G$, with $G$ a discrete group,…

We provide a new proof of the Kirchberg--Phillips theorem by adapting the framework laid out by Carri\'on--Gabe--Schafhauser--Tikuisis--White for classifying separable simple unital nuclear stably finite $\mathcal Z$-stable…

The contributions in this note begin with a new characterization of (positive) scalar multiples of minimal tripotents in a general JB$^*$-triple $E$, proving that a non-zero element $a\in E$ is a positive scalar multiple of a minimal…

This article studies generalizations of (matrix) convexity, including partial convexity and biconvexity, under the umbrella of $\Gamma$-convexity. Here $\Gamma$ is a tuple of free symmetric polynomials determining the geometry of a…

We study the space of traces associated with arbitrary full free products of unital, separable $C^*$-algebras. We show that, unless certain basic obstructions (which we fully characterize) occur, the space of traces always results in the…

Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$ with an almost periodic time evolution $\sigma$, we define a new C$^*$-algebra $A_c$, which we call the crystal of $(A,\sigma)$, that represents the zero temperature limit of $(A, \sigma)$. We prove that there is a…

We study the problem of conditional expectations in free random variables and provide closed formulas for the conditional expectation of resolvents of arbitrary non-commutative polynomials in free random variables onto the subalgebra of an…

We show that the existence of a continuous conditional expectation from a Fell bundle to a Fell subbundle implies that the full cross-sectional C*-algebra of the subbundle is contained in the full cross-sectional C*-algebra of the bundle,…

We prove that if A and B are Fell bundles over the locally compact groups G and H respectively, then the minimal (maximal) tensor product of the C*-algebra of kernels of A with the C*-algebra of kernels of B agrees with the C*-algebra of…

Let $A$ be a unital, simple and Z-stable C$^*$-algebra. We show that the set of positive elements in $A$ (resp. $A \otimes K$) belonging to a fixed non-compact Cuntz class is contractible as a topological subspace of $A$ (resp. $A \otimes…

An important object appearing in the framework of the Tomita--Takesaki theory is an invariant cone under the modular automorphism group of von Neumann algebras. As a result of the connection between von Neumann algebras and quantum field…

We demonstrate that pure C*-algebras form a robust class by proving that pureness follows from very weak comparison and divisibility properties. Using this, we show that every simple, non-elementary C*-algebra with a unique quasitrace and…

We consider the Calkin algebra $\mathcal{Q}(\ell_2)$, i.e., the quotient of the algebra $\mathcal B(\ell_2)$ of all bounded linear operators on the separable Hilbert space $\ell_2$ divided by the ideal $\mathcal K(\ell_2)$ of all compact…

We give a short and simple proof, utilizing the pre-determinant of P. de la Harpe and G. Skandalis, that the universal covering group of the unitary group of a II$_1$ von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, when equipped with the norm topology,…

We survey noncommutative Choquet theory and some of its applications.

We consider the index problem of certain boundary groupoids of the form $\mathcal{G} = M _0 \times M _0 \cup \mathbb{R}^q \times M _1 \times M _1$. Since it has been shown that for the case that $q \geq 3$ is odd, $K _0 (C^* (\mathcal{G}))…

We prove that the well-known explicit construction of the local theta correspondence by Li has a simple interpretation in terms of group C*-algebras. In particular, we deduce that in two standard cases where Li's method work, local theta…

We clarify the correspondence between the two approaches to quantum graphs: via quantum adjacency matrices and via quantum relations. We show how the choice of a (possibly non-tracial) weight manifests itself on the quantum relation side…
