In 1946, Garrett Birkhoff proved that the $n\times n$ doubly stochastic matrices comprise the convex hull of the $n\times n$ permutation matrices, which in turn make up the extreme points of this polytope. He proposed his problem 111, which…

We give an explicit injective representation of the universal $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra that is generated by doubly non-commuting isometries. This injectivity allows us to prove that such universal algebras embed naturally into each other…

Let $\Sigma \rightarrow G$ be a twist over a locally compact Hausdorff \'{e}tale groupoid $G$. Given $f$ in the reduced C$^*$-algebra $C_r^*(\Sigma;G)$ with open support $U \subseteq G$ we ask when $f$ lies in the closure of the compactly…

We give a characterisation of factoriality of the groupoid von Neumann algebra $L(\mathcal{G})$ associated to a discrete measured groupoid $(\mathcal{G},\mu)$. We introduce the notion of groupoids with `infinite conjugacy classes' and show…

We address the noncommutative version of the Edmonds' problem, which asks to determine the inner rank of a matrix in noncommuting variables. We provide an algorithm for the calculation of this inner rank by relating the problem with the…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let $E$ be a symmetric function space on $(0,\infty)$. Denote by $E(\mathcal{M})$ the non-commutative symmetric space of measurable operators affiliated with $\mathcal{M}$ and…

We define the orbit morphism of partial dynamical systems and prove that an orbit morphism being an isomorphism in the category of partial dynamical systems and orbit morphisms is equivalent to the existence of a continuous orbit…

We previously showed that abstract Cuntz semigroups form a closed symmetric monoidal category. This automatically provides additional structure in the category, such as a composition and an external tensor product, for which we give…

The uncovering of new structure on the Cuntz semigroup of a C*-algebra of stable rank one leads to several applications: We answer affirmatively, for the class of stable rank one C*-algebras, a conjecture by Blackadar and Handelman on…

We establish a generalized Rieffel correspondence for ideals in equivalent Fell bundles.

In this paper, we study the persistence approximation property for quantitative $K$-theory of filtered $L^p$ operator algebras. Moreover, we define quantitative assembly maps for $L^p$ operator algebras when $p\in [1,\infty)$. Finally, in…

We discuss C$^*$-algebras associated with several different natural shifts on the Hilbert space of the $s$-adic tree, that is, the tree of balls in the space of $s$-adic integers.

Motivated by the theory of holographic quantum error correction in the anti-de Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence, together with the kink transform conjecture on the bulk AdS description of boundary cocycle flow, we…

We consider \'etale Hausdorff groupoids in which the interior of the isotropy is abelian. We prove that the norms of the images under regular representations, of elements of the reduced groupoid $C^*$-algebra whose supports are contained in…

An action of a compact, in particular finite group on a C*-algebra is called properly outer if no automorphism of the group that is distinct from identity is implemented by a unitary element of the algebra of local multipliers of the…

The problem of extending the insights and techniques of categorical quantum mechanics to infinite-dimensional systems was considered in (Coecke and Heunen, 2016). In that work the $\mathrm{CP}^{\infty}$-construction, which recovers the…

We parametrise the gauge-invariant ideals of the Toeplitz-Nica-Pimsner algebra of a strong compactly aligned product system over $\mathbb{Z}_+^d$ by using $2^d$-tuples of ideals of the coefficient algebra that are invariant, partially…

In this note we state a conjecture that characterizes unital C*-algebras for which the unitary group is amenable as a topological group in the norm topology. We prove the conjecture for simple, separable, stably finite, unital, $\mathcal…

Given two unital C*-algebras $A$ and $B$, we study, when it exists, the universal unital $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{U}(A,B)$ generated by the coefficients of a unital $*$-homomorphism $\rho\,:\, A\rightarrow B\otimes\mathcal{U}(A,B)$. When $B$…

We study $\mathcal{O}$-operators and post-Lie products over the same Lie algebra compatible in a certain sense. We prove that the group product corresponding to the formal integration of the Lie algebra, which is adjacent to the sum of two…
