Let $(G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC})$ be a self-similar $k$ -graph with a possibly infinite vertex set $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}^{0}$ . We associate a universal C*-algebra ${\mathcal{O}}_{G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}$ to $(G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC})$ . The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the ideal structures of ${\mathcal{O}}_{G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}$ . We prove that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all $G$ -hereditary and $G$ -saturated subsets of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}^{0}$ and the set of all gauge-invariant and diagonal-invariant ideals of ${\mathcal{O}}_{G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}$ . Under some conditions, we characterize all primitive ideals of ${\mathcal{O}}_{G,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}}$ . Moreover, we describe the Jacobson topology of some concrete examples, which includes the C*-algebra of the product of odometers. On the way to our main results, we study self-similar $P$ -graph C*-algebras in depth.

We say that a $C^*$-algebra is Noetherian if it satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided closed ideals. A nontrivially Noetherian $C^*$-algebra is one with infinitely many ideals. Here, we show that nontrivially Noetherian $C^*$-algebras exist, and that a separable $C^*$-algebra is Noetherian if and only if it contains countably many ideals and has no infinite strictly ascending chain of primitive ideals. Furthermore, we prove that every Noetherian $C^*$-algebra has a finite-dimensional center. Where possible, we extend results about the ideal structure of $C^*$-algebras to Artinian $C^*$-algebras (those satisfying the descending chain condition for closed ideals).

Topological quivers are generalizations of directed graphs in which the sets of vertices and edges are locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Associated to such a topological quiver [Formula: see text] is a C*-correspondence, and from this correspondence one may construct a Cuntz–Pimsner algebra [Formula: see text]. In this paper we develop the general theory of topological quiver C*-algebras and show how certain C*-algebras found in the literature may be viewed from this general perspective. In particular, we show that C*-algebras of topological quivers generalize the well-studied class of graph C*-algebras and in analogy with that theory much of the operator algebra structure of [Formula: see text] can be determined from [Formula: see text]. We also show that many fundamental results from the theory of graph C*-algebras have natural analogues in the context of topological quivers (often with more involved proofs). These include the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, the Cuntz–Krieger uniqueness theorem, descriptions of the ideal structure, and conditions for simplicity.

For every p ≥ 2, we give a characterization of positive definite functions on a free group with finitely many generators, which can be extended to positive linear functionals on the free group C*-algebra associated with the ideal ℓp. This is a generalization of Haagerup's characterization for the case of the reduced free group C*-algebra. As a consequence, the canonical quotient map between the associated C*-algebras is not injective, and they have a unique tracial state.

The main purpose of this paper is to establish a Galois correspondence for a given covariant group system, its associated C*-algebra and Hopf C*-algebra. On the way to this, we first study covariance group C*-algebras and their representations, and prove a result which is simpler but yet very similar to the C*-algebra case in the main body of the paper. We then show that there is a Galois correspondence between the lattice of normal subgroups of the given covariant group system and a corresponding lattice of certain invariant *-subalgebras of the covariant group C*-algebra; in particular, there is a natural Galois correspondence for the group C*-algebra. We further study this Galois correspondence for the Hopf C*-algebras associated with covariant group systems.

We consider an extendible endomorphism α of a C*-algebra A. We associate to it a canonical C*-dynamical system (B, β) that extends (A, α) and is "reversible" in the sense that the endomorphism β admits a unique regular transfer operator β⁎. The theory for (B, β) is analogous to the theory of classic crossed products by automorphisms, and the key idea is to describe the counterparts of classic notions for (B, β) in terms of the initial system (A, α). We apply this idea to study the ideal structure of a non-unital version of the crossed product C*(A, α, J) introduced recently by the author and A. V. Lebedev. This crossed product depends on the choice of an ideal J in (ker α)⊥, and if J = ( ker α)⊥ it is a modification of Stacey's crossed product that works well with non-injective α's. We provide descriptions of the lattices of ideals in C*(A, α, J) consisting of gauge-invariant ideals and ideals generated by their intersection with A. We investigate conditions under which these lattices coincide with the set of all ideals in C*(A, α, J). In particular, we obtain simplicity criteria that besides minimality of the action require either outerness of powers of α or pointwise quasinilpotence of α.

For a given covariant representation π of an n-dimensional dynamical system (X, R n, α), we study the C*-algebras [Formula: see text] of abstract singular integral opertors and Toeplitz operators generated by π(C(X)) and Hilbert transforms corresponding to n linearly independent directions. Such an algebra has a chain of ideals [Formula: see text]. We compute all [Formula: see text] and show that for 0≤k≤n−1 each of these quotients is the direct sum of C*-algebras which can be thought of as [Formula: see text] for flows of lower dimensions. The ideal structure of [Formula: see text] is carefully studied. We also determine precisely when [Formula: see text] is a C*-algebra of type I.

AbstractFollowing up on previous work, we prove a number of results for C* -algebras with the weak ideal property or topological dimension zero, and some results for C* -algebras with related properties. Some of the more important results include the following:The weak ideal property implies topological dimension zero.For a separable C* -algebra A, topological dimension zero is equivalent to , to D ⊗ A having the ideal property for some (or any) Kirchberg algebra D, and to A being residually hereditarily in the class of all C* -algebras B such that contains a nonzero projection.Extending the known result for , the classes of C* -algebras with residual (SP), which are residually hereditarily (properly) infinite, or which are purely infinite and have the ideal property, are closed under crossed products by arbitrary actions of abelian 2-groups.If A and B are separable, one of them is exact, A has the ideal property, and B has the weak ideal property, then A ⊗ B has the weak ideal property.If X is a totally disconnected locally compact Hausdorff space and A is a C0(X)-algebra all of whose fibers have one of the weak ideal property, topological dimension zero, residual (SP), or the combination of pure infiniteness and the ideal property, then A also has the corresponding property (for topological dimension zero, provided A is separable).Topological dimension zero, the weak ideal property, and the ideal property are all equivalent for a substantial class of separable C* -algebras, including all separable locally AH algebras.The weak ideal property does not imply the ideal property for separable Z-stable C* -algebras.We give other related results, as well as counterexamples to several other statements one might conjecture.

We study homeomorphisms of a Cantor set with $k$ ( $k<+\infty$ ) minimal invariant closed (but not open) subsets; we also study crossed product C*-algebras associated to these Cantor systems and certain of their orbit-cut sub-C*-algebras. In the case where $k\geq 2$ , the crossed product C*-algebra is stably finite, has stable rank 2, and has real rank 0 if in addition $(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D70E})$ is aperiodic. The image of the index map is connected to certain directed graphs arising from the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model of the Cantor system. Using this, it is shown that the ideal of the Bratteli diagram (of the Bratteli–Vershik–Kakutani model) must have at least $k$ vertices at each level, and the image of the index map must consist of infinitesimals.

We present an approach to the duality theory for quantum groups which is explicitly modelled on the construction of the group C*-algebra C* (G) from C0 (G), namely: in the dual of C0 (G), single out the ideal of all elements absolutely continuous with respect to Haar measure, renorm with a C*-norm determined by the representations of this ideal, and complete. We thus obtain a C*-algebra whose *-representations are in one-to-one correspondence with the representations of the quantum group. This C*-algebra is itself a (non-compact) quantum group, and we verify a duality theorem for it.

Given a unital inductive limit of C*-algebras for which each C*-algebra of the inductive sequence comes equipped with a Rieffel compact quantum metric, we produce sufficient conditions to build a compact quantum metric on the inductive limit from the quantum metrics on the inductive sequence by utilizing the completeness of the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity of Latrémolière on compact quantum metric spaces. This allows us to place new quantum metrics on all unital approximately finite-dimensional (AF) algebras that extend our previous work with Latrémolière on unital AF algebras with faithful tracial state. As a consequence, we produce a continuous image of the entire Fell topology on the ideal space of any unital AF algebra in the dual Gromov–Hausdorff propinquity topology.
