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…

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of a separable C*-algebra A which has three important consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and realization of the Kasparov group KK(A,B) as homotopy classes of…

We classify bijective maps which strongly preserve Birkhoff-James orthogonality on a finite-dimensional complex $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that those maps are close to being real-linear isometries whose structure is also determined.

Let $p\in(1,\infty)\backslash\{2\}$. We show that every homomorphism from a $C^{*}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into $B(l^{p}(J))$ satisfies a compactness property where $J$ is any set. As a consequence, we show that a $C^{*}$-algebra…

We analyze a model for the homotopy theory of complete filtered $L_\infty$-algebras intended for applications in algebraic and algebro-geometric deformation theory. We provide an explicit proof of an unpublished result of E.\ Getzler which…

For locally compact groups G and H let A(G) denote the Fourier algebra of G and B(H) the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of H. Any continuous piecewise affine map alpha:Y -> G (where Y is an element of the open coset ring of H) induces a…

We develop criteria to guarantee uniqueness of the C$^*$-norm on a *-algebra $\mathcal{B}$. Nontrivial examples are provided by the noncommutative algebras of $\mathcal{C}$-valued functions $\mathcal{S}_J^\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $\Lambda$ be a $\Z^k$ ($k\ge 1$) action on $X.$ We give a solution to a version of Voiculescu's problem of AF-embedding: The crossed product $C(X)\rtimes_{\Lambda}\Z^k$ can be embedded into a unital…

Let X be a path connected, compact metric space and let A be a unital separable simple nuclear Z-stable real rank zero C*-algebra. We classify all the unital *-embeddings (up to approximate unitary equivalence) of C(X) into A. Specifically,…

A subset $\mathcal X$ of a C*-algebra $\mathcal A$ is called irredundant if no $A\in \mathcal X$ belongs to the C*-subalgebra of $\mathcal A$ generated by $\mathcal X\setminus \{A\}$. Separable C*-algebras cannot have uncountable…

Let $A$ be a unital simple separable exact C$^*$-algebra which is approximately divisible and of real rank zero. We prove that the set of positive elements in $A$ with a fixed non-compact Cuntz class has vanishing homotopy groups. Combined…

We consider C*-algebras associated with stable and unstable equivalence in hyperbolic dynamical systems known as Smale spaces. These systems include shifts of finite type, in which case these C*-algebras are both AF-algebras. These algebras…

We study Hopf algebras via tools from geometric invariant theory. We show that all the invariants we get can be constructed using the integrals of the Hopf algebra and its dual together with the multiplication and the comultiplication, and…

We classify the unital embeddings of a unital separable nuclear $C^*$-algebra satisfying the universal coefficient theorem into a unital simple separable nuclear $C^*$-algebra that tensorially absorbs the Jiang--Su algebra. This gives a new…

In this paper we show that a strongly homotopy commutative (or $C_\infty$-) algebra with an invariant inner product on its cohomology can be uniquely extended to a symplectic $C_\infty$-algebra (an $\infty$-generalisation of a commutative…

We introduce the notion of cyclic cohomology of an A-infinity algebra and show that the deformations of an A-infinity algebra which preserve an invariant inner product are classified by this cohomology. We use this result to construct some…

We show that the Elliott invariant is a classifying invariant for the class of $C^*$-algebras that are simple unital infinite dimensional inductive limits of sequences of finite direct sums of building blocks of the form $$ \{f\in…

The notion of a derived A-infinity algebra, considered by Sagave, is a generalization of the classical notion of A-infinity algebra, relevant to the case where one works over a commutative ring rather than a field. We initiate a study of…

We extend homological perturbation theory to encompass algebraic structures governed by operads and cooperads. The main difficulty is to find a suitable notion of algebra homotopy that generalizes to algebras over operads O. To solve this…

We identify a class of smooth Banach *-algebras that are differential subalgebras of commutative C*-algebras whose openness of multiplication is completely determined by the topological stable rank of the target C*-algebra. We then show…
