Singular Perturbations, Regularization and Extension Theory
We present an abstract result on removing regularization for singular potentials which are not semibounded from below. The relation between ``right'' regularizations and ``right'' self-adjoint extensions of the perturbed Schr\"odinger operators is examined.

Classification of direct limits of even Cuntz-circle algebras
We prove a classification theorem for purely infinte simple C*-algebras that is strong enough to show that the tensor products of two different irrational rotation algebras with the same even Cuntz algebra are isomorphic.

Regular Lie groups and a theorem of Lie-Palais

Crossed product decompositions of a purely infinite von Neumann algebra with faithful, almost periodic weight
For $\MvN$ a separable, purely infinite von Neumann algebra with almost periodic weight $\phi$, a decomposition of $\MvN$ as a crossed product of a semifinite von Neumann algebra by a trace--scaling action of a countable abelian group is given. Then Takasaki's continuous decomposition of the same algebra is related to ...
