The original Choi-Davis-Jensen's inequality, with its wide-ranging applications in diverse scientific and engineering fields, has motivated researchers to explore generalizations. In this study, we extend Davis-Choi-Jensen's inequality by…

We look at various forms of spectrum and associated pseudospectrum that can be defined for noncommuting $d$-tuples of Hermitian elements of a $C^*$-algebra. The emphasis is on theoretical calculations of examples, in particular for…

We establish finite nuclear dimension for crossed product C*-algebras arising from various classes of possibly non-free topological actions, including arbitrary actions of finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups on finite dimensional…

We study several classes of Banach bimodules over a II$_1$ factor $M$, endowed with topologies that make them "smooth" with respect to $L^p$-norms implemented by the trace on $M$. Letting $M\subset \B= \B(L^2M)$, and $2\leq p < \infty$, we…

We introduce $C^*$-algebras associated to directed graphs of groups. In particular, we associate a combinatorial $C^*$-algebra to each row-finite directed graph of groups with no sources, and show that this $C^*$-algebra is Morita…

We apply realization theory of non-commutative rational multipliers of the Fock space, or free Hardy space of square--summable power series in several non-commuting variables to the convex analysis of states on the Cuntz algebra. We show,…

We classify all compact quantum groups whose C*-algebra sits inside that of the free unitary quantum groups $U_{N}^{+}$. In other words, we classify all discrete quantum subgroups of $\widehat{U}_{N}^{+}$, thereby proving a quantum variant…

In the theory of Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a $C^*$-algebra $A$ (in contrast with the theory of Hilbert spaces) not each bounded operator ($A$-homomorphism) admits an adjoint. The interplay between the sets of adjointable and…

We show that the C*-algebra of a row-finite source-free k-graph is Rieffel-Morita equivalent to a crossed product of an AF algebra by the fundamental group of the k-graph. When the k-graph embeds in its fundamental groupoid, this AF algebra…

We establish an operator algebra generalization of Watrous' theorem \cite{watrous2009} on mixing unital quantum channels (completely positive trace-preserving maps) with the completely depolarizing channel, wherein the more general objects…

Given any quasi-countable, in particular any countable inverse semigroup $S$, we introduce a way to equip $S$ with a proper and right subinvariant extended metric. This generalizes the notion of proper, right invariant metrics for discrete…

We propose an abstract framework of a kind of representation theory for $C^*$-flows, i.e., $C^*$-algebras equipped with one-parameter automorphism groups, as a proper generalization of Olshanski's formalism of unitary representation theory…

We prove that, under the continuum hypothesis $\frak c=\aleph_1$, any ultraproduct II$_1$ factor $M= \prod_{\omega} M_n$ of separable finite factors $M_n$ contains more than $\frak c$ many mutually disjoint singular MASAs, in other words…

We introduce and study some new uniform structures for Hilbert $C^*$-modules over an algebra $A$. In particular, we prove that in some cases they have the same totally bounded sets. To define one of them, we introduce a new class of…

We prove a sandwiching lemma for inner-exact locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoids. Our lemma says that every ideal of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of such a groupoid is sandwiched between the ideals associated to two uniquely defined…

In this paper, we provide a direct proof for the equivalence of K.M. Chong's and De la Vall\'{e}e Poussin's criteria of weak compactness of a subset $K$ of $L_1(0,1)$ in terms of some Orlicz function. Furthermore, we discuss the equivalence…

For any square-summable commuting family $(A_i)_{i\in I}$ of complex $n\times n$ matrices there is a normal commuting family $(B_i)_i$ no farther from it, in squared normalized $\ell^2$ distance, than the diameter of the numerical range of…

We investigate the algebraic structure underlying Voiculescu's S-transform in the setting of operator-valued free probability. We show that its twisted factorisation property gives rise to post-groups, crossed morphisms, as well as pre- and…

We investigate property $RD_p$ for \'etale groupoids and apply it to $K$-theory of reduced groupoid $L^p$-operator algebras. In particular, under the assumption of polynomial growth, we show that the $K$-theory groups for a reduced groupoid…

We introduce the notion of tracial amenability for actions of discrete groups on unital, tracial C$^*$-algebras, as a weakening of amenability where all the relevant approximations are done in the uniform trace norm. We characterize tracial…
