Classification of irreversible and reversible Pimsner operator algebras

Since their inception in the 30’s by von Neumann, operator algebras have been used in shedding light in many mathematical theories. Classification results for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint operator algebras manifest this approach, but a clear connection between the two was sought since their emergence in the late 60’s. We connect these seemingly separate type of results by uncovering a hierarchy of classification for non-self-adjoint operator algebras and $C^{\ast }$-algebras with additional $C^{\ast }$-algebraic structure. Our approach naturally applies to algebras arising from $C^{\ast }$-correspondences to resolve self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint isomorphism problems in the literature. We apply our strategy to completely elucidate this newly found hierarchy for operator algebras arising from directed graphs.
