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 …
