Compressible Matrix Algebras and the Distance from Projections to Nilpotents
(University of Waterloo, 2019-11-15)In this thesis we address two problems from the fields of operator algebras and operator theory. In our first problem, we seek to obtain a description of the unital subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ ... -
Exact C*-algebras and the Kirchberg-Phillips Nuclear Embedding Theorem
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-08)A C*-algebra A is exact if the functor A ⊗ min (·) preserves short exact sequences. This is equivalent to the algebra A having a nuclear faithful *-representation. Exact C*-algebras are a class of C*-algebras which is ... -
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 ...
