Not all nuclear C*-algebras, not even all homogeneous C*-algebras, are symmetric, but all currently classifiable ones are.  A sufficiently nonsymmetric C*-algebra (one not KK-equivalent to its opposite algebra) would even be a counterexample to the UCT. A better understanding of symmetry will be needed to extend classification beyond its current limits, especially to nonsimple C*-algebras.   I will discuss some aspects of symmetry and th rigidity of complex structure in C*-algebras, with some examples.  The talk will be rather speculative, with more questions than answers.","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"34 minutes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"video\/mp4","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":null},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery","language":null},{"key":"dc.relation","value":"17w5127: Future Targets in the Classification Program for Amenable C*-Algebras","language":null},{"key":"dc.relation.ispartofseries","value":"BIRS Workshop Lecture Videos (Banff, Alta)","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights.uri","value":"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/4.0\/","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Mathematics","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Functional analysis","language":null},{"key":"dc.subject","value":"Operator theory","language":null},{"key":"dc.title","value":"Symmetry and complex structure in C*-algebras","language":null},{"key":"dc.type","value":"Moving Image","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.affiliation","value":"Non UBC","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.reviewstatus","value":"Unreviewed","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.notes","value":"Author affiliation: University of Nevada at Reno","language":null},{"key":"dc.description.scholarlevel","value":"Faculty","language":null},{"key":"dc.date.updated","value":"2018-04-04T05:02:47Z","language":null}]
