Göteborg Operator Algebras Seminar

Seminar of the Operator Algebras group at Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg, run every two weeks. The talks are usually on Wednesdays from 10:00 to 12:00 at MVL 14.

Below you can find a list of the upcoming talks. An archive of past talks can be found here.

02/05 On residually finite-dimensional C*-algebras in dynamical context (Tatiana Shulman)

A C*-algebra is residually finite-dimensional (RFD) if it has a separating family of finite-dimensional representations. The property of a C*-algebra of being RFD is central in C*-algebra theory and has connections with other important notions and problems. The topic of this talk will be the RFD property in dynamical context, namely we will discuss the RFD property of crossed products by amenable actions and, if time permits,  of C*-algebras of amenable etale groupoids. We will present consequences of our results to residual properties of groups and to approximations of representations in spirit of Exel and Loring, and we will discuss examples. Joint work with Adam Skalski.
