Interests

I enjoy researching group C*-algebras and related topics.
I also enjoy all you can eat sushi, Photoshopping, and anything programming-related.

Matthew Kennedy, Dan Ursu Intermediate subalgebras for reduced crossed products of discrete groups Preprint (arXiv), 2024 arXiv:2406.01546
Shirly Geffen, Dan Ursu Simplicity of crossed products by FC-hypercentral groups Preprint (arXiv), 2023 arXiv:2304.07852
Matthew Kennedy, Se-Jin Kim, Xin Li, Sven Raum, Dan Ursu The ideal intersection property for essential groupoid C*-algebras Preprint (arXiv), 2021 arXiv:2107.03980
Tattwamasi Amrutam, Dan Ursu A generalized Powers averaging property for commutative crossed products Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 375 (2022), no. 3, 2237-2254 Journal (DOI) | arXiv arXiv version is the accepted manuscript. See [1]. Also, this can be dedicated to the public domain 28 years after publication. Remind me.
Dan Ursu Relative C*-simplicity and characterizations for normal subgroups Journal of Operator Theory 87 (2022), no. 2, 471-486 Journal (DOI) | arXiv arXiv version is the accepted manuscript. See [1].
Dan Ursu Characterizing traces on crossed products of noncommutative C*-algebras Advances in Mathematics 391 (2021), 107955 Journal (DOI) | arXiv arXiv version is the accepted manuscript. See [1]

[1] The accepted manuscript of a paper is the version that includes all corrections made during the peer-review process. Unless noted otherwise, the only additional corrections in the journal version are some minor grammatical mistakes, small typos in the references (sorry Frolík!), and updating references from arXiv to published.

OvalDock Creates a customizable dock around your mouse cursor. Think of it vaguely like the start menu, but rounder. GitHub
AutoMark A proof of concept for automatically marking scanned homework assignments. GitHub
Glance An old android app that I wrote for displaying the time and notifications when taking your phone out of your pocket. This was back when android did not have this feature. GitHub
stallings-folding A fun program for graphically and interactively perform Stallings' folding procedure. Every finitely-generated subgroup of a free group is still a free group, and this lets you find the free generators starting from an arbitrary set of generators. GitHub
