An open question, raised independently by several authors, asks if a closed amenable subalgebra of ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal H})$ must be similar to an amenable C*-algebra; the question remains open even for singly-generated algebras. In this…

We study the *-double functor between the categories of associative and involutive algebras. It is proved that an associative algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of a $C\sp*$-algebra if and only if its *-double is *-isomorphic to a…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

To an $r$-dimensional subshift of finite type satisfying certain special properties we associate a $C^*$-algebra $\cA$. This algebra is a higher rank version of a Cuntz-Krieger algebra. In particular, it is simple, purely infinite and…

Every $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebra, regardless of its density character, can be embedded into the Calkin algebra in a forcing extension of the universe obtained without collapsing any cardinal.

Suppose $G$ is a second countable, locally compact, Hausdorff groupoid with a fixed left Haar system. Let $\go/G$ denote the orbit space of $G$ and $\cs(G)$ denote the groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Suppose that $G$ is a principal groupoid. We…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and let $U_0(A)$ be the group of unitaries of $A$ which are path connected to the identity. Denote by $CU(A)$ the closure of the commutator subgroup of $U_0(A).$ Let $i_A^{(1, n)}\colon…

We define type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ as well as C*-semi-finite C*-algebras. It is shown that a von Neumann algebra is a type $\mathfrak{A}$, type $\mathfrak{B}$, type $\mathfrak{C}$ or C*-semi-finite…

The article exhibits certain relations between the injective envelope I(A) of a C*-algebra A and the von Neumann algebra generated by a representation lambda of A provided it is injective. More specifically we show that there exist positive…

If $A$ is a $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra and $a$ is a strictly positive element of $A$ then for every compact subset $K$ of the complete regularization $\mathrm{Glimm}(A)$ of $\mathrm{Prim}(A)$ there exists $\alpha > 0$ such that $K\subset…

Let $A$, $A'$ be separable $C^*$-algebras, $B$ a stable $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra. Our main result is the construction of the pairing $[[A',A]]\times\operatorname{Ext}^{-1/2}(A,B)\to\operatorname{Ext}^{-1/2}(A',B)$, where $[[A',A]]$…

Given two algebras A and B, sometimes assumed to be C*-algebras, we consider the question of putting algebra or C*-algebra structures on the tensor product A\otimes B. In the C*-case, assuming B to be two-dimensonal, we characterize all…

In this note we start the study of whether the reduced C*-algebra of an inverse semigroup is quasi-diagonal, making explicit use of the inner structure of this class of semigroups in order to produce quasi-diagonal approximations. Given a…

In this paper, we investigate *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras associated to \'etale groupoids. First, we prove that such a *-homomorphism can be described by closed invariant subsets, groupoid homomorphisms and cocycles under some…

It is shown that if A is a separable, exact C*-algebra which satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem (UCT) and has a faithful, amenable trace, then A admits a trace-preserving embedding into a simple, unital AF-algebra with unique…

To a large class of graphs of groups we associate a C*-algebra universal for generators and relations. We show that this C*-algebra is stably isomorphic to the crossed product induced from the action of the fundamental group of the graph of…

We show that a C*-algebra generated by an irreducible representation of a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group satisfies the universal coefficient theorem and has real rank 0. This combines with previous joint work with Gillaspy and…

We study two classes of operator algebras associated with a unital subsemigroup $P$ of a discrete group $G$: one related to universal structures, and one related to co-universal structures. First we provide connections between universal…

We consider a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $G$ which is graded over a discrete group. Then the fibre over the identity is an open and closed subgroupoid $G_e$. We show that both the full and reduced C*-algebras of this subgroupoid…

Let $B$ be a $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Lie superalgebra equipped with an invariant $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric homogeneous bilinear form and containing a grading element. Its local part (in the terminology of Kac) $B_{-1} \oplus B_{0} \oplus B_{1}$…
