Towards a non-selfadjoint version of Kadison's theorem.
Trace inequalities for spaces in spectral duality
Let (A,e) and (V,K) be an order-unit space and a base-norm space in spectral duality, as in noncommutative spectral theory of Alfsen and Shultz. Let t be a norm lower semicontinuous trace on A, and let φ be a nonnegative convex function on ℝ. It is shown that the mapping a → t(φ(a)) is convex on A. Moreover, the mapping is shown to be nondecreasing if so is φ. Some other similar statements concerning traces and real-valued functions are also obtained.

Triple derivations on von Neumann algebras
It is well known that every derivation of a von Neumann algebra into itself is an inner derivation and that every derivation of a von Neumann algebra into its predual is inner. It is less well known that every triple derivation (defined below) of a von Neumann algebra into itself is an inner triple derivation. We examine to what extent all triple derivations of a von Neumann algebra into its predual are inner. This rarely happens but it comes close. We prove a (triple) cohomological...
