We prove that the Heisenberg groups can be distinguished from the other connected and simply connected Lie groups via their group $C^*$-algebras. The main step of the proof is a characterization of the nilpotent Lie groups among the…

We investigate to what extent a nilpotent Lie group is determined by its $C^*$-algebra. We prove that, within the class of exponential Lie groups, direct products of Heisenberg groups with abelian Lie groups are uniquely determined even by…

In previous work, we defined and studied $\Sigma^*$-modules, a class of Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras (the latter are $C^*$-algebras that are sequentially closed in the weak operator topology). The present work continues…

We study the Haagerup property for C*-algebras. We first give new examples of C*-algebras with the Haagerup property. A nuclear C*-algebra with a faithful tracial state always has the Haagerup property, and the permanence of the Haagerup…

We consider two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras whose small $C^*$-algebras have approximate units of the large $C^*$-algebras and their two spaces of all bounded bimodule linear maps. We suppose that the two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras are…

We provide a complete classification of the class of unital graph $C^*$-algebras - prominently containing the full family of Cuntz-Krieger algebras - showing that Morita equivalence in this case is determined by ordered, filtered…

We show that two C*-algebraic noncommutative tori are strongly Morita equivalent if and only if they have isomorphic ordered K_0-groups and centers, extending N. C. Phillips's result in the case that the algebras are simple. This is also…

We prove two results on the tube algebras of rigid C$^*$-tensor categories. The first is that the tube algebra of the representation category of a compact quantum group $G$ is a full corner of the Drinfeld double of $G$. As an application…

We define a notion of strong shift equivalence for $C^*$-correspondences and show that strong shift equivalent $C^*$-correspondences have strongly Morita equivalent Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. Our analysis extends the fact that strong shift…

We will consider the set of all completely positive linear maps from a unital $C^*$-algebra to the $C^*$-algebra of all (bounded) adjointable right Hilbert $C^*$-module maps, which are automatically bounded, on a right Hilbert $C^*$-module…

We consider two twisted actions of a countable discrete group on $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebras. Then by taking the reduced crossed products, we get two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras. We suppose that they are strongly Morita equivalent as…

We compute the two-cocycles (or multipliers) of the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ and give conditions for simplicity of the corresponding twisted group $C^*$-algebras. These groups are representation groups for…

Exotic group $C^*$-algebras are $C^*$-algebras that lie between the universal and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of a locally compact group. We consider simple Lie groups $G$ with real rank one and investigate their exotic group…

We revisit a central result of Muhly and Solel on operator algebras of C*-correspondences. We prove that (possibly non-injective) strongly Morita equivalent C*-correspondences have strongly Morita equivalent relative Cuntz-Pimsner…

We prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for Steinberg algebras associated to non-Hausdorff ample groupoids. We also prove a uniqueness theorem and give a characterization of simplicity for the C*-algebra…

We identify the simple algebraic groups over number fields that are, in a suitable sense, determined by their finite adele points. Assuming CSP and Grothendieck rigidity, our results essentially characterize higher rank arithmetic groups…

We prove that the class of crossed product C*-algebras associated with the action of the multiplicative group of a number field on its ring of finite adeles is rigid in the following explicit sense: Given any *-isomorphism between two such…

Given two locally compact Hausdorff groupoids $G$ and $H$ and a $(G,H)$-equivalence $Z$, one can construct the associated linking groupoid $L$. This is reminiscent of the linking algebra for Morita equivalent $C^*$-algebras. Indeed, Sims…

In this paper we explore a generic notion of superrigidity for von Neumann algebras $L(G)$ and reduced $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G)$ associated with countable discrete groups $G$. This allows us to classify these algebras for various new…

We describe the C*-algebras of the Heisenberg group H_n, n\geq 1, and the thread-like Lie group G_N, N\geq 3, in terms of C*-algebras of operator fields.
