Outers for noncommutative H p revisited

David P. Blecher, Louis E. Labuschagne (2013)

Studia Mathematica

We continue our study of outer elements of the noncommutative H p spaces associated with Arveson’s subdiagonal algebras. We extend our generalized inner-outer factorization theorem, and our characterization of outer elements, to include the case of elements with zero determinant. In addition, we make several further contributions to the theory of outers. For example, we generalize the classical fact that outers in H p actually satisfy the stronger condition that there exist aₙ ∈ A with haₙ ∈ Ball(A)...

Quadratic functionals on modules over complex Banach *-algebras with an approximate identity

Dijana Ilišević (2005)

Studia Mathematica

The problem of representability of quadratic functionals by sesquilinear forms is studied in this article in the setting of a module over an algebra that belongs to a certain class of complex Banach *-algebras with an approximate identity. That class includes C*-algebras as well as H*-algebras and their trace classes. Each quadratic functional acting on such a module can be represented by a unique sesquilinear form. That form generally takes values in a larger algebra than the given quadratic functional...

Quasi *-algebras of measurable operators

Fabio Bagarello, Camillo Trapani, Salvatore Triolo (2006)

Studia Mathematica

Non-commutative L p -spaces are shown to constitute examples of a class of Banach quasi *-algebras called CQ*-algebras. For p ≥ 2 they are also proved to possess a sufficient family of bounded positive sesquilinear forms with certain invariance properties. CQ*-algebras of measurable operators over a finite von Neumann algebra are also constructed and it is proven that any abstract CQ*-algebra (,₀) with a sufficient family of bounded positive tracial sesquilinear forms can be represented as a CQ*-algebra...

*-Representations, seminorms and structure properties of normed quasi *-algebras

Camillo Trapani (2008)

Studia Mathematica

The class of *-representations of a normed quasi *-algebra (𝔛,𝓐₀) is investigated, mainly for its relationship with the structure of (𝔛,𝓐₀). The starting point of this analysis is the construction of GNS-like *-representations of a quasi *-algebra (𝔛,𝓐₀) defined by invariant positive sesquilinear forms. The family of bounded invariant positive sesquilinear forms defines some seminorms (in some cases, C*-seminorms) that provide useful information on the structure of (𝔛,𝓐₀) and on the continuity...
