The program of matrix product states on the infinite tensor product ${mathcal A}^{otimes mathbb Z}$, initiated by Fannes, Nachtergaele and Werner in their seminal paper Commun. Math. Phys. Vol. 144, 443-490 (1992), is re-assessed in a context where $mathcal A$ is an infinite nuclear $C^ast$-algebra. While this setting presents new technical challenges, fine advances on ordered spaces by Kavruk, Paulsen, Todorov and Tomforde enabled us to push through most of the program and to demonstrate that the matrix product states accept generalizations as operator product states.
Let $(G, P)$ be an abelian, lattice ordered group and let $X$ be a compactly aligned product system over $P$. We show that the C*-envelope of the Nica tensor algebra $mathcal{N}mathcal{T}^+_X$ coincides with both Sehnems covariance algebra $mathcal{A} times_X P$ and the co-universal C*-algebra $mathcal{N}mathcal{O}^r_X$ for injective, gauge compatible, Nica-covariant representations of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello. We give several applications of this result on both the selfadjoint and non-selfadjoint operator algebra theory. First we guarantee the existence of $mathcal{N}mathcal{O}^r_X$, thus settling a problem of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello which was open even for abelian, lattice ordered groups. As a second application, we resolve a problem posed by Skalski and Zacharias on dilating isometric representations of product systems to unitary representations. As a third application we characterize the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra of a finitely aligned higher-rank graph which also holds for topological higher-rank graphs. As a final application we prove reduced Hao-Ng isomorphisms for generalized gauge actions of discrete groups on C*-algebras of product systems. This generalizes recent results that were obtained by various authors in the case where $(G, P) =(mathbb{Z},mathbb{N})$.
This paper introduces the notion of Rota-Baxter $C^{ast}$-algebras. Here a Rota-Baxter $C^{ast}$-algebra is a $C^{ast}$-algebra with a Rota-Baxter operator. Symmetric Rota-Baxter operators, as special cases of Rota-Baxter operators on $C^{ast}$-algebra, are defined and studied. A theorem of Rota-Baxter operators on concrete $C^{ast}$-algebras is given, deriving the relationship between two kinds of Rota-Baxter algebras. As a corollary, some connection between $ast$-representations and Rota-Baxter operators is given. The notion of representations of Rota-Baxter $C^{ast}$-algebras are constructed, and a theorem of representations of direct sums of Rota-Baxter representations is derived. Finally using Rota-Baxter operators, the notion of quasidiagonal operators on $C^{ast}$-algebra is reconstructed.
A cosystem consists of a possibly nonselfadoint operator algebra equipped with a coaction by a discrete group. We introduce the concept of C*-envelope for a cosystem; roughly speaking, this is the smallest C*-algebraic cosystem that contains an equivariant completely isometric copy of the original one. We show that the C*-envelope for a cosystem always exists and we explain how it relates to the usual C*-envelope. We then show that for compactly aligned product systems over group-embeddable right LCM semigroups, the C*-envelope is co-universal, in the sense of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello, for the Fock tensor algebra equipped with its natural coaction. This yields the existence of a co-universal C*-algebra, generalizing previous results of Carlsen, Larsen, Sims and Vittadello, and of Dor-On and Katsoulis. We also realize the C*-envelope of the tensor algebra as the reduced cross sectional algebra of a Fell bundle introduced by Sehnem, which, under a mild assumption of normality, we then identify to the quotient of the Fock algebra by the image of Sehnems strong covariance ideal. In another application, we obtain a reduced Hao-Ng isomorphism theorem for the co-universal algebras.
Canonical tensor product subfactors (CTPSs) describe, among other things, the embedding of chiral observables in two-dimensional conformal quantum field theories. A new class of CTPSs is constructed some of which are associated with certain modular invariants, thereby establishing the expected existence of the corresponding two-dimensional theories.
Given a C$^*$-correspondence $X$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the tensor algebra $mathcal T_X^+$ to be hyperrigid. In the case where $X$ is coming from a topological graph we obtain a complete characterization.
