The groupoid $C^*$ algebra associated to a certain groupoid
Let $\mathbb{N}$ be the set of all natural numbers. We define a groupoid structure on $\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}}$ as follows:
We put $G^1=\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}},\;G^0 =\{(a_n)\in G^1\mid a_{2n-1} …

On equation $e^{xy-yx}=e^xe^ye^{-x}e^{-y}$ in $C^*$ algebras
Inspired by this MSE question we ask the following question:
Is there a noncommutative $C^*$-algebra $A$ for which the following identity holds for all $x,y \in A$?
$$e^{(xy-yx)}= e^xe^y e^{-x}e^{- …

A $C^{*}$ algebra associated to a graded $C^{*}$ algebra
A $C^{*}$ algebra $A$ is graded by $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$ iff it can be acted by $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$. So we associate the $C^{*}$ algebra $A\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_{n}$ to a $\mathbb{Z}_{n}$-graded $C^{*}$ alg …

Comparision of two $C^{*}$ algebras associated to a non vanishing vector field on a compact ...
Let $X$ be a non vanishing vector field on a compact manifold $M$ so we have a one dimensional foliation $F$ of $M$ with orbits of $X$.
This foliation defines a $C^{*}$ algebra $C^{*}(F)$. On the ot …
