We study asymptotic behavior of a Markov semigroup on a von-Neumann algebra by exploring a maximal von-Neumann subalgebra where the Markov semigroup is an automorphism. This enables us to prove that strong mixing is equivalent to ergodic property for continuous time Markov semigroup on a type-I von-Neumann algebra with center completely atomic. For discrete time dynamics we prove that an aperio...

Let A be a simple, separable C∗-algebra of stable rank one. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of C(T, A) is determined by its Murray-von Neumann semigroup of projections and a certain semigroup of lower semicontinuous functions (with values in the Cuntz semigroup of A). This result has two consequences. First, specializing to the case that A is simple, finite, separable and Z-stable, this yield...

This paper introduces the topological finiteness condition finite derivation type (FDT) on the class of semigroups. This notion is naturally extended from the monoid case. With this new concept we are able to prove that if a Rees matrix semigroupM[S; I, J ;P ] has FDT then the semigroup S also has FDT. Given a monoid S and a finitely presented Rees matrix semigroup M[S; I, J ;P ] we prove that ...

This paper contains computations of the Cuntz semigroup of separable C∗-algebras of the form C0(X, A), where A is a unital, simple, Z-stable ASH algebra. The computations describe the Cuntz semigroup in terms of Murray-von Neumann semigroups of C(K, A) for compact subsets K of X. In particular, the computation shows that the Elliott invariant is functorially equivalent to the invariant given by...

This paper explores the following regularity properties and their relationships for simple, not-necessarily-unital C∗algebras: (i) Jiang-Su stability, (ii) unperforation in the Cuntz semigroup, and (iii) slow dimension growth (applying only in the case that the C∗-algebra is approximately subhomogeneous). An example is given of a simple, separable, nuclear, stably projectionless C∗-algebra whos...

The intersection of all two-sided ideals of an ordered semigroup, if it is non-empty, is called the kernel of the ordered semigroup. A left ideal L of an ordered semigroup (S, ·,≤) having a kernel I is said to be simple if I is properly contained in L and for any left ideal L′ of (S, ·,≤), I is properly contained in L′ and L′ is contained in L imply L′ = L. The notions of simple right and two-s...
