On the K-theory of the C * -algebra generated by the left regular representation of an Ore semigroup

Joachim Cuntz, Siegfried Echterhoff, Xin Li (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We compute the K -theory of C * -algebras generated by the left regular representation of left Ore semigroups satisfying certain regularity conditions. Our result describes the K -theory of these semigroup C * -algebras in terms of the K -theory for the reduced group C * -algebras of certain groups which are typically easier to handle. Then we apply our result to specific semigroups from algebraic number theory.

On the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class

Kevin J. McGown (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that the S-Euclidean minimum of an ideal class is a rational number, generalizing a result of Cerri. In the proof, we actually obtain a slight refinement of this and give some corollaries which explain the relationship of our results with Lenstra's notion of a norm-Euclidean ideal class and the conjecture of Barnes and Swinnerton-Dyer on quadratic forms. In particular, we resolve a conjecture of Lenstra except when the S-units have rank one. The proof is self-contained but uses ideas from...

On the size of quotients of function spaces on a topological group

Ahmed Bouziad, Mahmoud Filali (2011)

Studia Mathematica

For a non-precompact topological group G, we consider the space C(G) of bounded, continuous, scalar-valued functions on G with the supremum norm, together with the subspace LMC(G) of left multiplicatively continuous functions, the subspace LUC(G) of left norm continuous functions, and the subspace WAP(G) of weakly almost periodic functions. We establish that the quotient space LUC(G)/WAP(G) contains a linear isometric copy of , and that the quotient space C(G)/LMC(G) (and a fortiori C(G)/LUC(G))...
