We study the approximately finite-dimensional (AF) $C^*$-algebras that appear as inductive limits of sequences of finite-dimensional $C^*$-algebras and left-invertible embeddings. We show that there is such a separable AF-algebra $\mathcal…

Let $F$ be any field of characteristic $p$. It is well-known that there are exactly $p$ inequivalent indecomposable representations $V_1,V_2,...,V_p$ of $C_p$ defined over $F$. Thus if $V$ is any finite dimensional $C_p$-representation…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

A C*-algebra is determined to a great extent by the partial order of its commutative C*-algebras. We study order-theoretic properties of this dcpo. Many properties coincide: the dcpo is, equivalently, algebraic, continuous, meet-continuous,…

We realize the Jiang-Su algebra, all UHF algebras, and the hyperfinite II$_{1}$ factor as Fra\"iss\'e limits of suitable classes of structures. Moreover by means of Fra\"iss\'e theory we provide new examples of AF algebras with strong…

The cone of lower semicontinuous traces is studied with a view to its use as an invariant. Its properties include compactness, Hausdorffness, and continuity with respect to inductive limits. A suitable notion of dual cone is given. The cone…

We introduce pseudofinite W*-probability spaces. These are W*-probability spaces that are elementarily equivalent to Ocneanu ultraproducts of finite-dimensional von Neumann algebras equipped with arbitrary faithful normal states. We are…

C*-algebras are widely used in mathematical physics to represent the observables of physical systems, and are sometimes taken as the starting point for rigorous formulations of quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics.…

The problem of expressing a selfadjoint element that is zero on every bounded trace as a finite sum (or a limit of sums) of commutators is investigated in the setting of C*-algebras of finite nuclear dimension. Upper bounds -- in terms of…

We continue our study of topological partial *algebras, focusing our attention to the interplay between the various partial multiplications. The special case of partial *-algebras of operators is examined first, in particular the link…

We give presentations of the planar algebra of unipotent representations of the groups $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{F}_p$ under addition using jellyfish and light leaf style arguments. These are some of the most natural examples of…

We develop the ring-theoretic notion of Invariant Basis Number in the context of unital $C^*$-algebras and their Hilbert $C^*$-modules. Characterization of $C^*$-algebras with Invariant Basis Number is given in $K$-theoretic terms, closure…

We study the representation theory of a conformal net A on the circle from a K-theoretical point of view using its universal C*-algebra C*(A). We prove that if A satisfies the split property then, for every representation \pi of A with…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a compact simple Lie algebra. We modify the quantized enveloping $^*$-algebra associated to $\mathfrak{g}$ by a real-valued character on the positive part of the root lattice. We study the ensuing Verma module theory,…

We investigate conditions on a graph $C^*$-algebra for the existence of a faithful semifinite trace. Using such a trace and the natural gauge action of the circle on the graph algebra, we construct a smooth $(1,\infty)$-summable semfinite…

For each 1<s<\infty, a Popa algebra A_s is constructed that embeds as a weakly dense C*-subalgebra of the interpolated free group factor L(F_s). Certain approximation properties for A_s are shown. It follows that L(F_s) has the weak…

An analysis of the boundary representations and C$^*$-envelopes of some finite-dimensional operator systems $\mathcal R$ is undertaken by considering relationships between operator-theoretic properties of a $d$-tuple $\mathfrak…

We consider the structure of algebra of operators, acting in $n-$fold tensor product space, which are partially transposed on the last term. Using purely algebraical methods we show that this algebra is semi-simple and then, considering its…

We study the 2-adic version of the ring $C^*$-algebra of the integers. First, we work out the precise relation between the Cuntz algebra $\cO_2$ and our 2-adic ring $C^*$-algebra in terms of representations. Secondly, we prove a 2-adic…

In this paper we consider algebras with involution over a ring C which is given by the quadratic extension by i of an ordered ring R. We discuss the *-representation theory of such *-algebras on pre-Hilbert spaces over C and develop the…
