We associate a $C^*$-algebra to a partial action of the integers acting on the base space of a vector bundle, using the framework of Cuntz--Pimsner algebras. We investigate the structure of the fixed point algebra under the canonical gauge action, and show that it arises from a continuous field of $C^*$-algebras over the base space, generalising results of Vasselli. We also analyse the ideal structure, and show that for a free action, ideals correspond to open invariant subspaces of the base space. This shows that if the action is free and minimal, then the Cuntz--Pimsner algebra is simple. Finally we establish a bijective corrrespondence between tracial states and invariant measures on the base space, thereby calculating part of the Elliott invariant. This generalizes results about the $C^*$-algebras associated to homeomorphisms twisted by vector bundles of Adamo, Archey, Forough, Georgescu, Jeong, Strung and Viola.

We introduce a hierarchy for unital Kirchberg algebras with finitely generated K-groups by which the 1st and 2nd homotopy groups of the automorphism groups serve as a complete invariant of classification. We also give a complete invariant specific to the case of unital Kirchberg algebras with finitely generated K-groups and provide a useful tool to classify the Cuntz--Krieger algebras.

We introduce the new problems of quantum packing, quantum covering, and quantum paving. These problems arise naturally when considering an algebra of non-commutative operators that is deeply rooted in quantum physics as well as in Gabor analysis. Quantum packing and quantum covering show similarities with energy minimization and the dual problem of polarization. Quantum paving, in turn, aims to simultaneously optimize both quantum packing and quantum covering. Classical sphere packing and covering hint the optimal configurations for our new problems. We present solutions in certain cases, state several conjectures related to quantum paving and discuss some applications.

Let $G$ be a discrete group. Given unital $G$-$C^*$-algebras $mathcal{A}$ and $mathcal{B}$, we give an abstract condition under which every $G$-subalgebra $mathcal{C}$ of the form $mathcal{A}subset mathcal{C}subset mathcal{A}otimes_{text{min}}mathcal{B}$ is a tensor product. This generalizes the well-known splitting results in the context of $C^*$-algebras by Zacharias and Zsido. As an application, we prove a topological version of the Intermediate Factor theorem. When a product group $G=Gamma_1timesGamma_2$ acts (by a product action) on the product of corresponding $Gamma_i$-boundaries $partialGamma_i$, using the abstract condition, we show that every intermediate subalgebra $C(X)subsetmathcal{C}subset C(X)otimes_{text{min}}C(partialGamma_1times partialGamma_2)$ is a tensor product (under some additional assumptions on $X$). This can be considered as a topological version of the Intermediate Factor theorem. We prove that our assumptions are necessary and cannot generally be relaxed. We also introduce the notion of a uniformly rigid action for $C^*$-algebras and use it to give various classes of inclusions $mathcal{A}subset mathcal{A}otimes_{text{min}}mathcal{B}$ for which every invariant intermediate algebra is a tensor product.

Fully elliptic operators are shown to be Fredholm in an associated scale of Sobolev spaces, and to have parametrices in the calculus.

We prove the existence of self-dual tensor products for finite-dimensional convex cones and operator systems. This is a consequence of a more general result: Every cone system, which is contained in its dual, can be enlarged to a self-dual cone system. Using the setup of cone systems, we further describe how all functorial tensor products of finite-dimensional cones and operator systems explicitly arise from the minimal and maximal tensor product.

We extend to arbitrary measures results of Bao, Erd"os, Schnelli, Moreillon, and Ji on the connectedness of the supports of additive convolutions of measures on mathbb{R} and of free multiplicative convolutions of measures on mathbb{R}_+. More precisely, the convolution of two measures with connected supports also has connected support. The result holds without any absolute continuity or bounded support hypotheses on the measures being convolved. We also show that the results of Moreillon and Schnelli concerning the number of components of the support of a free additive convolution hold for arbitrary measures with bounded supports. Finally, we provide an approach to the corresponding results in the case of free multiplicative convolutions of probability measures on the unit circle.
