Following E. Kirchberg, [3], we call a bifunctor (A,B) → A⊗α B a C -algebraic tensor product functor if it is obtained by completing of the algebraic tensor product A ⊙ B of C-algebras in a functional way with respect to a suitable C-norm ‖ · ‖α. We call such a functor symmetric if the standard isomorphism A ⊙ B ∼= B ⊙ A extends to an isomorphism A⊗αB ∼= B⊗αA. Similarly, we call it associative ...

We introduce and study the framework of compact metric structures and their associated notions of isomorphisms such as homeomorphic and bi-Lipschitz isomorphism. This is subsequently applied to model various classification problems in analysis such as isomorphism of C∗-algebras and affine homeomorphism of Choquet simplices, where among other things we provide a simple proof of the completeness ...

It is shown that every  almost linear bijection $h : Arightarrow B$ of a unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ onto a unital$C^*$-algebra $B$ is a $C^*$-algebra isomorphism when $h(3^n u y) = h(3^n u) h(y)$ for allunitaries  $u in A$, all $y in A$, and all $nin mathbb Z$, andthat almost linear continuous bijection $h : A rightarrow B$ of aunital $C^*$-algebra $A$ of real rank zero onto a unital$C^*$-algebra...

We describe a method for associating some non-self-adjoint algebras to MauldinWilliams graphs and we study the Morita equivalence and isomorphism of these algebras. We also investigate the relationship between the Morita equivalence and isomorphism class of the C∗-correspondences associated with Mauldin-Williams graphs and the dynamical properties of the Mauldin-Williams graphs.

In this paper we study the C*-algebras associated to continuous fields over locally compact metrisable zero dimensional spaces whose fibers are Kirchberg C*-algebras satisfying the UCT. We show that these algebras are inductive limits of finite direct sums of Kirchberg algebras and they are classified up to isomorphism by topological invariants.

The sub algebra functor Sub A is faithful for Boolean algebras (Sub A •Sub B implies A • B, see D. Sachs [7] ), but it is not faithful for bounded distributive lattices or unbounded distributive lattices. The automorphism functor Aut A is highly unfaithful even for Boolean algebras. The endomorphism functor End A is the most faithful of all three. B. M. Schein [8] and K. D.' Magill [5] establis...

We give a complete invariant for finite-dimensional Hopf C*-algebras. Algebras that are equal under the invariant are the same up to a Hopf *-(co-anti)isomorphism. Résumé. On donne un invariant complet pour les C*-algèbres de Hopf

We establish axiomatic characterizations of K-theory and KK-theory for real C*-algebras. In particular, let F be an abelian group-valued functor on separable real C*-algebras. We prove that if F is homotopy invariant, stable, and split exact, then F factors through the category KK. Also, if F is homotopy invariant, stable, half exact, continuous, and satisfies an appropriate dimension axiom, th...
