Minimal Cuntz-Krieger Dilations and Representations of Cuntz-Krieger Algebras

Abstract

Given a contractive tuple of Hilbert space operators satisfying certain $A$-relations we show that there exists a unique minimal dilation to generators of Cuntz-Krieger algebras or its extension by compact operators. This Cuntz-Krieger dilation can be obtained from the classical minimal isometric dilation as a certain maximal $A$-relation piece. We define a maximal piece more generally for a finite set of polynomials in $n$ noncommuting variables. We classify all representations of Cuntz-Krieger algebras ${\mathcal O}_A$ obtained from dilations of commuting tuples satisfying $A$-relations. The universal properties of the minimal Cuntz-Krieger dilation and the WOT-closed algebra generated by it is studied in terms of invariant subspaces.

$C^*$-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.
