We show that a large family of groups without non-abelian free subgroups satisfy the following strengthening of non-amenability: they each have a rich supply of irreducible representations defining exotic C*-algebras. The construction is…

We introduce and analyse a new type of quantum 2-spheres. Then we apply index theory for noncommutative line bundles over these spheres to conclude that quantum lens spaces are non-crossed-product examples of principal extensions of…

We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C$^\ast$-algebras which are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities…

Given a second-countable, Hausdorff, \'etale, amenable groupoid G with compact unit space, we show that an element a in C*(G) is invertible if and only if \lambda_x(a) is invertible for every x in the unit space of G, where \lambda_x refers…

We introduce a relative tensor product of $C^{*}$-modules and a spatial fiber product of $C^{*}$-algebras that are analogues of Connes' fusion of correspondences and the fiber product of von Neumann algebras introduced by Sauvageot,…

In this mostly expository note, we revisit the K\"unneth theorem in $K$-theory of nonnuclear C*-algebras. We show that, using examples considered by Skandalis, there are algebras satisfying the K\"unneth theorem for the minimal tensor…

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…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. We show that if $\Gamma$ is nonamenable, then the algebraic tensor products $C^*_r(\Gamma)\otimes C^*_r(\Gamma)$ and $C^*(\Gamma)\otimes C^*_r(\Gamma)$ do not admit unique $C^*$-norms. Moreover, when…

Let A be a C*-algebra with real rank zero which has the stable weak cancellation property. Let I be an ideal of A such that I is stable and satisfies the corona factorization property. We prove that 0->I->A->A/I->0 is a full extension if…

Using free probability constructions involving Cuntz-Pimsner C*-algebras we show that the topological entropy of the free product of two automorphisms is equal to the maximum of the individual entropies. As applications we show that general…

C*-algebras are rings, sometimes nonunital, obeying certain axioms that ensure a very well-behaved representation theory upon Hilbert space. Moreover, there are some well-known features of the representation theory leading to subtle…

We show that several known results about the algebraic K-theory of tensor products of algebras with the C*-algebra of compact operators in Hilbert space remain valid for tensor products with any properly infinite C*-algebra.

A $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to have the homotopy lifting property if for all $C^*$-algebras $B$ and $E$, for every surjective $^*$-homomorphism $\pi \colon E \rightarrow B$ and for every $^*$-homomorphism $\phi \colon A \rightarrow E$, any…

We develop a new approach to non-Hausdorff \'etale groupoids and their algebras based on Timmermann's construction of Hausdorff covers. As an application, we completely characterise when singular ideals vanish in Steinberg algebras over…

We give a classification theorem for a class of C*-algebras which are direct limits of extensions of circle algebras by purely infinite C*-algebras. The invariant consists of the following: (1) the set of Murray-von Neumann equivalence…

We extend the Gelfand-Naimark duality of commutative C*-algebras, "A COMMUTATIVE C*-ALGEBRA -- A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE" to "A C*-ALGEBRA--A QUOTIENT OF A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE". Thus, a C*-algebra is isomorphic to the…

Let p be a polynomial in one variable. It is shown that the universal C*-algebra of the relation p(x)=0, \|x\| \le C is semiprojective, residually finite-dimensional and has trivial extension group.

We compute the $ K $-theory of quantum automorphism groups of finite dimensional $ C^* $-algebras in the sense of Wang. The results show in particular that the $ C^* $-algebras of functions on the quantum permutation groups $ S_n^+ $ are…

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…

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…
