Why are projectionless $C^*$-algebras important (Kadison's conjecture)
It was considered an important result for a long time to show that the reduced $C^*$-algebra of the free group $C^*_r(F_2)$ has no nontrivial projections. I believe this is also known as Kadison's ...

Maps in the Künneth theorem for K-theory of C*-algebras
The following is named the Künneth theorem for tensor products in the book by Blackadar on K-theory for operator algebras: If $A$ and $B$ are C*-algebras and $A$ is in the bootstrap class, then there ...

C^*-algebra theory with all the Koszul signs
I was wondering if someone knows of a reference in which $\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded $C^*$-algebra theory is developed using the sign convention $(ab)^* = (-1)^{|a||b|}b^* a^*$. I would be most enthusiastic ...

Representation of $C^{*} (S_{\infty})$
I was wondering what is the group $C^{*}$-algebra of infinite symmetric group?
Mainly, I was trying to calculate the k-theory of $C^{*}$-algebra of infinite symmetric group and I found K-Theory of $C^{...

K-Theory of $C^{*}(X)$
I'm new to K-Theory for $C^{*}$-algebra and $C^{*}$-algebra of groups.
If $X$ is the group of finite support bijections of natural numbers then what is the K-Theory of $C^{*}(X)$?
I was planning to ...

Another way for defining $K_1$ group for a C*-algebra
Thank you for answering my question.
I have another question about the $K_1$ group. As you may know, some books define the $K_1$ group like below:
Also, it defines the $K_0$ group for an arbitrary C*-...

Producing $K$-homology cycles from $KK$-cycles
For two unital (separable) $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, let $(H,\rho,F)$ be a $KK$-cycle in the sense of Kasparov, or in the sense of Wikipedia :)
I wonder if there us a natural way to "forget" the ...

Morita equivalence of the invariant uniform Roe algebra and the reduced group C*-algebra
In his paper "Comparing analytic assemby maps", J. Roe considers a proper and cocompact action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a metric space $X$. He constructs the Hilbert $C^*_r(\Gamma)$-module $L^...

example of a non-amenable l.c. group such that $C_r^*(G)$ satisfies the UCT
Are there known any examples of non-amenable locally compact (or more restrictive, non-amenable discrete) groups $G$ for which the reduced group $C^*$-algebra $C_r^*(G)$ satisfies the universal ...

$*$-algebras, completions, and $K$-theory
What is an example of a $*$-algebra $\cal{A}$, which admits two non-equivalent norms $\| \cdot \|_1$ and $\| \cdot \|_2$, with respect to which we can complete $\cal{A}$ to give two $C^*$-algebras $...

Role of the UCT problem in classification theory for C*-algebras
Elliott's program for nuclear C*-algebras deals with the problem of classifying nuclear C*-algebras by K-theoretical invariants. A major open question in this context is the UCT problem.
A separable ...

description of a map in KK-theory
The following situation is given: Let $A$ be a unital, separable, nuclear $C^*$-Algebra, $i:\mathbb{C}\to A$ the unital embedding. All $C^*$-algebras are considered as trivially graded. Consider the ...

Lifting triangles in K-theory to KL-groups
Let $X$ and $Y$ be finite simplicial complexes (or $CW$-complexes) so that $Y\subseteq X$. Let $s\colon C(X)\to C(Y)$ be the map given by restriction. In particular $K_{*}(C(X))$ and $K_{*}(C(Y))$ are ...
