AbstractThe framework of dynamical C*-algebras for scalar fields in Minkowski space, based on local scattering operators, is extended to theories with locally perturbed kinetic terms. These terms encode information about the underlying spacetime metric, so the causality relations between the scattering operators have to be adjusted accordingly. It is shown that the extended algebra describes scalar quantum fields, propagating in locally deformed Minkowski spaces. Concrete representations of the abstract scattering operators, inducing this motion, are known to exist on Fock space. The proof that these representers also satisfy the generalized causality relations requires, however, novel arguments of a cohomological nature. They imply that Fock space representations of the extended dynamical C*-algebra exist, involving linear as well as kinetic and pointlike quadratic perturbations of the field.

We consider κ-deformed relativistic symmetries described algebraically by modified Majid–Ruegg bi-cross-product basis and investigate the quantization of field oscillators for the κ-deformed free scalar fields on κ-Minkowski space. By modification of standard multiplication rule, we postulate the κ-deformed algebra of bosonic creation and annihilation operators. Our algebra permits one to define the n-particle states with classical addition law for the four-momentum in a way which is not in contradiction with the nonsymmetric quantum four-momentum co-product. We introduce κ-deformed Fock space generated by our κ-deformed oscillators which satisfy the standard algebraic relations with modified κ-multiplication rule. We show that such a κ-deformed bosonic Fock space is endowed with the conventional bosonic symmetry properties. Finally we discuss the role of κ-deformed algebra of oscillators in field-theoretic noncommutative framework.

We present and study $C^*$-algebras generated by "periodic weighted creation operators" on the Fock space associated with an automorphism $\alpha$ on a $C^*$-algebra $A$. These algebras can be viewed as generalized Bunce-Deddens algebras associated with the automorphism and can be written as a certain direct limit. We prove a crossed product presentation for such an algebra and find a necessary and sufficient condition for it to be simple. In the case where the automorphism is induced by an irrational rotation (on C(T)) we compute the K-theory groups and obtain a complete classification of these algebras.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].

We construct and study C*-algebras associated with subshifts in symbolic dynamics as a generalization of Cuntz–Krieger algebras for topological Markov shifts. We prove some universal properties for the C*-algebras and give a criterion for them to be simple and purely infinite. We also present an example of a C*-algebra coming from a subshift which is not conjugate to a Markov shift.

By using C*-correspondences and Cuntz–Pimsner algebras, we associate to every subshift (also called a shift space) 𝖷 a C*-algebra [Formula: see text], which is a generalization of the Cuntz–Krieger algebras. We show that [Formula: see text] is the universal C*-algebra generated by partial isometries satisfying relations given by 𝖷. We also show that [Formula: see text] is a one-sided conjugacy invariant of 𝖷.

AbstractWe study a canonical C* -algebra, 𝒮(Г,μ), that arises from a weighted graph (Г,μ), speci fic cases of which were previously studied in the context of planar algebras. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions of the weighting that ensure simplicity and uniqueness of trace of 𝒮(Г,μ), and study the structure of its positive cone. We then study the *-algebra,𝒜, generated by the generators of 𝒮(Г,μ), and use a free differential calculus and techniques of Charlesworth and Shlyakhtenko as well as Mai, Speicher, and Weber to show that certain “loop” elements have no atoms in their spectral measure. After modifying techniques of Shlyakhtenko and Skoufranis to show that self adjoint elements x ∊ Mn(𝒜) have algebraic Cauchy transform, we explore some applications to eigenvalues of polynomials inWishart matrices and to diagrammatic elements in von Neumann algebras initially considered by Guionnet, Jones, and Shlyakhtenko.

Compact Quantum Metric Space

AbstractLet be a length function on a group G, and let M denote the operator of pointwise multiplication by on l2(G). Following Connes, M𝕃 can be used as a “Dirac” operator for the reduced group C*-algebra (G). It deûnes a Lipschitz seminorm on (G), which defines a metric on the state space of (G). We show that for any length function satisfying a strong form of polynomial growth on a discrete group, the topology from this metric coincides with the weak-* topology (a key property for the definition of a “compact quantum metric space”). In particular, this holds for all word-length functions on ûnitely generated nilpotent-by-finite groups.

We prove a complete analog of the Borsuk Homotopy Extension Theorem for arbitrary semiprojective $C^*$-algebras. We also obtain some other results about semiprojective $C^*$-algebras: a partial lifting theorem with specified quotient, a lifting result for homomorphisms close to a liftable homomorphism, and that sufficiently close homomorphisms from a semiprojective $C^*$-algebra are homotopic.

A $\lambda$-graph system is a labeled Bratteli diagram with shift transformation. It is a generalization of finite labeled graphs and presents a subshift. In [16] the author has introduced a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ associated with a $\lambda$-graph system $\mathfrak{L}$ by using groupoid method as a generalization of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras. In this paper, we concretely construct the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ by using both creation operators and projections on a sub Fock Hilbert space associated with $\mathfrak{L}$. We also introduce a new irreducible condition on $\mathfrak{L}$ under which the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ becomes simple and purely infinite.
