Fonctions harmoniques opérant sur les algèbres de Banach involutives
Nous introduisons un calcul fonctionnel pour les fonctions harmoniques sur un ouvert du plan complexe et à valeurs dans une algèbre de Banach à involution continue. Ensuite, nous donnons dans les algèbres hermitiennes deux extensions des théorèmes de von Neumann et de Ky Fan sur les contractions. Nous obtenons également les analogues du lemme de Schwarz et du théorème de Pick.
Full groups, flip conjugacy, and orbit equivalence of Cantor minimal systems
We consider the full group [φ] and topological full group [[φ]] of a Cantor minimal system (X,φ). We prove that the commutator subgroups D([φ]) and D([[φ]]) are simple and show that the groups D([φ]) and D([[φ]]) completely determine the class of orbit equivalence and flip conjugacy of φ, respectively. These results improve the classification found in [GPS]. As a corollary of the technique used, we establish the fact that φ can be written as a product of three involutions from [φ].
Functional calculus in weighted group algebras.
Let G be a compactly generated, locally compact group with polynomial growth and let ω be a weight on G. We look for general conditions on the weight which allow us to develop a functional calculus on a total part of L1(G,ω). This functional calculus is then used to study harmonic analysis properties of L1(G,ω), such as the Wiener property and Domar's theorem.
Involutions on the second duals of group algebras versus subamenable groups
Let L¹(G)** be the second dual of the group algebra L¹(G) of a locally compact group G. We study the question of involutions on L¹(G)**. A new class of subamenable groups is introduced which is universal for all groups. There is no involution on L¹(G)** for a subamenable group G.
Korovkin theory in Banach -algebras
Korovkin theory in normed algebras
If A is a normed power-associative complex algebra such that the selfadjoint part is normally ordered with respect to some order, then the Korovkin closure (see the introduction for definitions) of T ∪ {t* ∘ t| t ∈ T} contains J*(T) for any subset T of A. This can be applied to C*-algebras, minimal norm ideals on a Hilbert space, and to H*-algebras. For bounded H*-algebras and dual C*-algebras there is even equality. This answers a question posed in [1].

Old and new results on Allan's GB*-algebras
This is an expository paper on the importance and applications of GB*-algebras in the theory of unbounded operators, which is closely related to quantum field theory and quantum mechanics. After recalling the definition and the main examples of GB*-algebras we exhibit their most important properties. Then, through concrete examples we are led to a question concerning the structure of the completion of a given C*-algebra 𝓐₀[||·||₀], under a locally convex *-algebra topology τ, making the multiplication...
