Abstract

This paper investigates the structure of C*-algebras built from one-sided Sturmian subshifts. They are parametrised by irrationals in the unit interval and built from a local homeomorphism associated to the subshift. We provide an explicit construction and description of this local homeomorphism. The C*-algebras are *-isomorphic exactly when the systems are conjugate, and they are Morita equivalent exactly when the defining irrationals are equivalent (this happens precisely when the systems are flow equivalent). Using only elementary dynamical tools, we compute the dynamic asymptotic dimension of the (groupoid of the) local homeomorphism to be one, and by a result of Guentner, Willett, and Yu, it follows that the nuclear dimension of the C*-algebras is one.

$C^*$-extreme maps and $*$-homomorphisms from $C(X)$ to finite von Neumann algebras

Given a unital inclusion of $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal C \subset \mathcal A$ and a unital inclusion $\mathcal C \subset \mathcal B$ into a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal B$, we investigate the extreme points of unital completely positive maps from $\mathcal A$ to $\mathcal B$ that fix $\mathcal C$ denoted by $UCP_\mathcal C(\mathcal A, \mathcal B)$. This space is obviously convex and $C^*$-convex with respect to the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal C' \cap \mathcal B$. In this article we show that the $\mathcal C' \cap \mathcal B$-extreme points are exactly the $*$-homomorphisms that fix $\mathcal C$ when $\mathcal A$ is commutative and $\mathcal B$ has a normal faithful center valued trace. This generalizes a result due to Farenick and Morenz where $\mathcal C = \mathbb C 1$ and $\mathcal B = M_n(\mathbb C)$.

Quantum Cheeger Inequalities for KMS-Symmetric Quantum Markov Semigroups

In this paper, we establish a quantum Cheeger inequality for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups in terms of projection conductance. We discuss both projection conductance and classical conductance for graph-based KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We show that hypercontractivity and the logarithmic Sobolev inequality hold for primitive KMS-symmetric quantum Markov semigroups. We also present applications of the quantum Cheeger inequality to logarithmic Sobolev inequalities, hypercontractivity, and complete modified logarithmic Sobolev inequalities.

A characterization of simplicity of reduced groupoid C*-algebras

We show that, for a second-countable locally compact Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with compact unit space, simplicity of the reduced groupoid C*-algebra implies the existence of a comeager set of unit points with C*-simple isotropy group. Combining this result with work of Christensen and Neshveyev on exotic completions of isotropy group algebras, we show that the converse implication is also true. Finally, we construct a Hausdorff étale minimal groupoid with an isotropy group whose induced exotic completion differs from its reduced group C*-algebra, answering a question of Christensen and Neshveyev.
