Operator Algebras Seminar Schedule

Feb. 1
Christopher Schafhauser, UNL
"Kirchberg's O2-embedding theorem I"

I will discuss the following result of Kirchberg from the early 1990s: every separable exact -algebra embeds into the Cuntz algebra.

Feb. 8
Christopher Schafhauser, UNL
"Kirchberg's O2-embedding theorem II"

A continuation of last week's talk.

Feb. 15
Greg Faurot, UNL
"Images of order zero maps"

Abstract: In a recent paper of the same name, Courtney and Winter provide a characterization of self-adjoint subspaces \(X \subset B\) that arise as the image of a unital \(C^*\)-algebra \(A\) under a cpc order zero map \(\phi: A \to B\). In this talk, I will provide a sketch of the proof, covering the main details of the construction of \(A\) and \(\phi\).
