We show that unital simple C*-algebras with tracial topological rank zero which are locally approximated by subhomogeneous C^-algebras can be classified by their ordered $K$-theory. We apply this classification result to show that certain…

Given an n x n integer matrix A whose eigenvalues are strictly greater than 1 in absolute value, let \sigma_A be the transformation of the n-torus T^n=R^n/Z^n defined by \sigma_A(e^{2\pi ix})=e^{2\pi iAx} for x\in R^n. We study the…

We show that certain pullbacks of $*$-algebras equivariant with respect to a compact group action remain pullbacks upon completing to $C^*$-algebras. This unifies a number of results in the literature on graph algebras, showing that…

Let $G$ be a connected closed subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ which is simple as a Lie group and which acts irreducibly on $\mathbb{C}^n$. Regarding both $G$ and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ as subsets of $M_n(\mathbb{C})$, we…

This paper characterizes the unital C*-algebra generated by a single invertible element as the unital free product of C[0,1] and C(T). To do this, I develop techniques to split and merge presentations of C*-algebras using free products in…

We show that semigroup C*-algebras attached to ax+b-semigroups over rings of integers determine number fields up to arithmetic equivalence, under the assumption that the number fields have the same number of roots of unity. For finite…

This is a survey of work in which the author was involved in recent years. We consider C*-algebras constructed from representations of one or several algebraic endomorphisms of a compact abelian group - or, dually, of a discrete abelian…

We study the ideal structure of $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences. We prove that gauge-invariant ideals of our $C^*$-algebras are parameterized by certain pairs of ideals of original $C^*$-algebras. We show that our…

The study of open quantum systems relies on the notion of unital completely positive semigroups on $C^*$-algebras representing physical systems. The natural generalisation would be to consider the unital completely positive semigroups on…

We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra $A$ generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has…

We develop a framework suitable for obtaining simplicity criteria for reduced $C^*$-algebras of Hausdorff etale groupoids. This is based on the study of certain non-degenerate $C^*$-subalgebras (in the case of groupoids, the $C^*$-algebra…

We regard a right Hilbert C*-module X over a C*-algebra A endowed with an isometric *-homomorphism \phi: A\to L_A(X) as an object X_A of the C*-category of right Hilbert A-modules. Following a construction by the first author and Roberts,…

We show that every separable simple tracially approximately divisible $C^*$-algebra has strict comparison, is either purely infinite, or has stable rank one. As a consequence, we show that every (non-unital) finite simple ${\cal Z}$-stable…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group with cocompact connected component. We prove that the assembly map from the topological $\k$-theory of $G$ to the $\k$-theory of the reduced $C^*$-algebra of $G$ is an isomorphism.

A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…

Let $A$ and $C$ be two unital simple C*-algebas with tracial rank zero. Suppose that $C$ is amenable and satisfies the Universal Coefficient Theorem. Denote by ${{KK}}_e(C,A)^{++}$ the set of those $\kappa$ for which…

Let ${\cal A}_1$ be the class of all unital separable simple $C^*$-algebras $A$ such that $A\otimes U$ has tracial rank at most one for all UHF-algebras of infinite type. It has been shown that amenable ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras in…

We shall consider a locally compact groupoid endowed with a Haar system and having proper orbit space. We shall construct a groupoid C*-algebra which is independent of the Haar system (up to a *-isomorphism).

To a directed graph $E$ is associated a $C^*$-algebra $C^* (E)$ called a graph $C^*$-algebra. There is a canonical action $\gamma$ of ${\bf T}$ on $C^* (E)$, called the gauge action. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient…

We obtain a characterization of the unital C*-algebras with the property that every element is a limit of products of positive elements, thereby answering a question of Murphy and Phillips.
