We study residually finite-dimensional (or RFD) operator algebras which may not be self-adjoint. An operator algebra may be RFD while simultaneously possessing completely isometric representations whose generating C*-algebra is not RFD. This has provided many hurdles in characterizing residual finite-dimensionality for operator algebras. To better understand the elusive behaviour, we explore the C*-covers of an operator algebra. First, we equate the collection of C*-covers with a complete lattice arising from the spectrum of the maximal C*-cover. This allows us to identify a largest RFD C*-cover whenever the underlying operator algebra is RFD. The largest RFD C*-cover is shown to be similar to the maximal C*-cover in several different facets and this provides supporting evidence to a previous query of whether an RFD operator algebra always possesses an RFD maximal C*-cover. In closing, we present a non self-adjoint version of Hadwins characterization of separable RFD C*-algebras.

The generalized state space $ S_{mathcal{H}}(mathcal{mathcal{A}})$ of all unital completely positive (UCP) maps on a unital $C^*$-algebra $mathcal{A}$ taking values in the algebra $mathcal{B}(mathcal{H})$ of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space $ mathcal{H}$, is a $C^ast$-convex set. In this paper, we establish a connection between $C^ast$-extreme points of $S_{mathcal{H}}(mathcal{A})$ and a factorization property of certain algebras associated to the UCP map. In particular, this factorization property of some nest algebras is used to give a complete characterization of those $C^ast$-extreme maps which are direct sums of pure UCP maps. This significantly extends a result of Farenick and Zhou [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 126 (1998)] from finite to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. Also it is shown that normal $C^ast$-extreme maps on type $I$ factors are direct sums of normal pure UCP maps if and only if an associated algebra is reflexive. Further, a Krein-Milman type theorem is established for $C^ast$-convexity of the set $ S_{mathcal{H}}(mathcal{A})$ equipped with bounded weak topology, whenever $mathcal{A}$ is a separable $C^ast$-algebra or it is a type $I$ factor. As an application, we provide a new proof of a classical factorization result on operator valued Hardy algebras.
I. Raeburn and J. Taylor have constructed continuous-trace C*-algebras with a prescribed Dixmier-Douady class, which also depend on the choice of an open cover of the spectrum. We study the asymptotic behavior of these algebras with respect to certai n refinements of the cover and appropriate extension of cocycles. This leads to the analysis of a limit groupoid G and a cocycle sigma, and the algebra C*(G, sigma) may be regarded as a generalized direct limit of the Raeburn-Taylor algebras. As a special case, all UHF C*-algebras arise from this limit construction.
We analyze the dichotomy amenable/paradoxical in the context of (discrete, countable, unital) semigroups and corresponding semigroup rings. We consider also F{o}lners type characterizations of amenability and give an example of a semigroup whose semi group ring is algebraically amenable but has no F{o}lner sequence. In the context of inverse semigroups $S$ we give a characterization of invariant measures on $S$ (in the sense of Day) in terms of two notions: $domain$ $measurability$ and $localization$. Given a unital representation of $S$ in terms of partial bijections on some set $X$ we define a natural generalization of the uniform Roe algebra of a group, which we denote by $mathcal{R}_X$. We show that the following notions are then equivalent: (1) $X$ is domain measurable; (2) $X$ is not paradoxical; (3) $X$ satisfies the domain F{o}lner condition; (4) there is an algebraically amenable dense *-subalgebra of $mathcal{R}_X$; (5) $mathcal{R}_X$ has an amenable trace; (6) $mathcal{R}_X$ is not properly infinite and (7) $[0] ot=[1]$ in the $K_0$-group of $mathcal{R}_X$. We also show that any tracial state on $mathcal{R}_X$ is amenable. Moreover, taking into account the localization condition, we give several C*-algebraic characterizations of the amenability of $X$. Finally, we show that for a certain class of inverse semigroups, the quasidiagonality of $C_r^*left(Xright)$ implies the amenability of $X$. The converse implication is false.
Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra and let $alpha$ be an automorphism of $A$ that extends to a *-automorphism of its $ca$-envelope $cenv (A)$. In this paper we introduce the isometric semicrossed product $A times_{alpha}^{is} bbZ^+ $ and we show th at $cenv(A times_{alpha}^{is} bbZ^+) simeq cenv (A) times_{alpha} bbZ$. In contrast, the $ca$-envelope of the familiar contractive semicrossed product $A times_{alpha} bbZ^+ $ may not equal $cenv (A) times_{alpha} bbZ$. Our main tool for calculating $ca$-envelopes for semicrossed products is the concept of a relative semicrossed product of an operator algebra, which we explore in the more general context of injective endomorphisms. As an application, we extend a recent result of Davidson and Katsoulis to tensor algebras of $ca$-correspondences. We show that if $T_{X}^{+}$ is the tensor algebra of a $ca$-correspondence $(X, fA)$ and $alpha$ a completely isometric automorphism of $T_{X}^{+}$ that fixes the diagonal elementwise, then the contractive semicrossed product satisfies $ cenv(T_{X}^{+} times_{alpha} bbZ^+)simeq O_{X} times_{alpha} bbZ$, where $O_{X}$ denotes the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of $(X, fA)$.
We study the structure of certain classes of homologically trivial locally C*-algebras. These include algebras with projective irreducible Hermitian A-modules, biprojective algebras, and superbiprojective algebras. We prove that, if A is a locally C* -algebra, then all irreducible Hermitian A-modules are projective if and only if A is a direct topological sum of elementary C*-algebras. This is also equivalent to A being an annihilator (dual, complemented, left quasi-complemented, or topologically modular annihilator) topological algebra. We characterize all annihilator $sigma$-C*-algebras and describe the structure of biprojective locally C*-algebras. Also, we present an example of a biprojective locally C*-algebra that is not topologically isomorphic to a Cartesian product of biprojective C*-algebras. Finally, we show that every superbiprojective locally C*-algebra is topologically *-isomorphic to a Cartesian product of full matrix algebras.
