We study quotients of the Toeplitz C*-algebra of a random walk, similar to those studied by the author and Markiewicz for finite stochastic matrices. We introduce a new Cuntz-type quotient C*-algebra for random walks that have convergent ratios of transition probabilities. These C*-algebras give rise to new notions of ratio limit space and boundary for such random walks, which are computed by appealing to a companion paper by Woess. Our combined results are leveraged to identify a unique symmetry-equivariant quotient C*-algebra for any symmetric random walk on a hyperbolic group, shedding light on a question of Viselter on C*-algebras of subproduct systems.

K-Theory and the Universal Coefficient Theorem for Simple Separable Exact C*-Algebras Not Isomorphic to Their Opposites
Abstract We construct uncountably many mutually nonisomorphic simple separable stably finite unital exact C*-algebras that are not isomorphic to their opposite algebras. In particular, we prove that there are uncountably many possibilities for the $$K_0$$-group, the $$K_1$$-group, and the tracial state space of such an algebra. We show that these C*-algebras satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem, which is new even for the already known example of an exact C*-algebra nonisomorphic to its opposite algebra produced in an earlier work.

We prove a number of results having to do with equipping type-I\mathrm{C}^*-algebras with compact quantum group structures, the two main ones being that such a compact quantum group is necessarily co-amenable, and that if the\mathrm{C}^*-algebra in question is an extension of a non-zero finite direct sum of elementary\mathrm{C}^*-algebras by a commutative unital\mathrm{C}^*-algebra then it must be finite-dimensional.more » « less

We study the category of S p \mathbf {Sp} -equivariant modules over the infinite variable polynomial ring, where S p \mathbf {Sp} denotes the infinite symplectic group. We establish a number of results about this category: for instance, we show that every finitely generated module M M fits into an exact triangle T → M → F → T \to M \to F \to where T T is a finite length complex of torsion modules and F F is a finite length complex of “free” modules; we determine the Grothendieck group; and we (partially) determine the structure of injective modules. We apply these results to show that the twisted commutative algebras Sym ( C ∞ ⊕ ⋀ 2 C ∞ ) \operatorname {Sym}(\mathbf {C}^{\infty } \oplus \bigwedge ^2{\mathbf {C}^{\infty }}) and Sym ( C ∞ ⊕ Sym 2 C ∞ ) \operatorname {Sym}(\mathbf {C}^{\infty } \oplus \operatorname {Sym}^2{\mathbf {C}^{\infty }}) are noetherian, which are the strongest results to date of this kind. We also show that the free 2-step nilpotent twisted Lie algebra and Lie superalgebra are noetherian.more » « less

Abstract We investigate maximal tori in the Hochschild cohomology Lie algebra $${\operatorname {HH}}^1(A)$$ of a finite dimensional algebra $$A$$, and their connection with the fundamental groups associated to presentations of $$A$$. We prove that every maximal torus in $${\operatorname {HH}}^1(A)$$ arises as the dual of some fundamental group of $$A$$, extending the work by Farkas, Green, and Marcos; de la Peña and Saorín; and Le Meur. Combining this with known invariance results for Hochschild cohomology, we deduce that (in rough terms) the largest rank of a fundamental group of $$A$$ is a derived invariant quantity, and among self-injective algebras, an invariant under stable equivalences of Morita type. Using this we prove that there are only finitely many monomial algebras in any derived equivalence class of finite dimensional algebras; hitherto this was known only for very restricted classes of monomial algebras.more » « less

A bstract There are two parts to this work: first, we study the error correction properties of the real-space renormalization group (RG). The long-distance operators are the (approximately) correctable operators encoded in the physical algebra of short-distance operators. This is closely related to modeling the holographic map as a quantum error correction code. As opposed to holography, the real-space RG of a many-body quantum system does not have the complementary recovery property. We discuss the role of large N and a large gap in the spectrum of operators in the emergence of complementary recovery. Second, we study the operator algebra exact quantum error correction for any von Neumann algebra. We show that similar to the finite dimensional case, for any error map in between von Neumann algebras the Petz dual of the error map is a recovery map if the inclusion of the correctable subalgebra of operators has finite index.more » « less
