Classification of Finitely Generated Operator Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2018-01-22)For the past few decades operator systems and their C*-envelopes have provided an invaluable tool for studying the theory of C*-algebras and positive maps. They provide the natural context in which to study the theory of ... -
Exactness and Noncommutative Convexity
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-02)This thesis studies two separate topics in connection to operator systems theory: the dynamics of locally compact groups, and noncommutative convex geometry. In Chapter 1 we study exactness of locally compact groups as ... -
Exotic Group C*-algebras, Tensor Products, and Related Constructions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-15)Recently there has been a rejuvenated interest in exotic group C*-algebras, i.e., group C*-algebras which are "intermediate" to the full and reduced group C*-algebras. This resurgence began with the introduction of the ... -
Graph C*-algebras and the Abelian Core
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-26)We may associate to a C*-algebra to the directed graph E by associating edges to partial isometries and vertices to pairwise orthogonal Hilbert spaces which satisfy some additional conditions. Such graph algebras were first ...
