Facial structures of separable and PPT states

Seung-Hyeok Kye (2011)

Banach Center Publications

A positive semi-definite block matrix (a state if it is normalized) is said to be separable if it is the sum of simple tensors of positive semi-definite matrices. A state is said to be entangled if it is not separable. It is very difficult to detect the border between separable and entangled states. The PPT (positive partial transpose) criterion tells us that the partial transpose of a separable state is again positive semi-definite, as was observed by M. D. Choi in 1982 from...

Factor representations of diffeomorphism groups

Robert P. Boyer (2003)

Studia Mathematica

We give a new construction of semifinite factor representations of the diffeomorphism group of euclidean space. These representations are in canonical correspondence with the finite factor representations of the inductive limit unitary group. Hence, many of these representations are given in terms of quasi-free representations of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations. To establish this correspondence requires a generalization of complete positivity as developed in operator algebras....

Factoriality of von Neumann algebras connected with general commutation relations-finite dimensional case

Ilona Królak (2006)

Banach Center Publications

We study a certain class of von Neumann algebras generated by selfadjoint elements ω i = a i + a i , where a i , a i satisfy the general commutation relations: a i a j = r , s t j i r s a r a s + δ i j I d . We assume that the operator T for which the constants t j i r s are matrix coefficients satisfies the braid relation. Such algebras were investigated in [BSp] and [K] where the positivity of the Fock representation and factoriality in the case of infinite dimensional underlying space were shown. In this paper we prove that under certain conditions on the number of generators...

Factorizing multilinear operators on Banach spaces, C*-algebras and JB*-triples

Carlos Palazuelos, Antonio M. Peralta, Ignacio Villanueva (2009)

Studia Mathematica

In recent papers, the Right and the Strong* topologies have been introduced and studied on general Banach spaces. We characterize different types of continuity for multilinear operators (joint, uniform, etc.) with respect to the above topologies. We also study the relations between them. Finally, in the last section, we relate the joint Strong*-to-norm continuity of a multilinear operator T defined on C*-algebras (respectively, JB*-triples) to C*-summability (respectively, JB*-triple-summability)....

Finite generation in C*-algebras and Hilbert C*-modules

David P. Blecher, Tomasz Kania (2014)

Studia Mathematica

We characterize C*-algebras and C*-modules such that every maximal right ideal (resp. right submodule) is algebraically finitely generated. In particular, C*-algebras satisfy the Dales-Żelazko conjecture.

Finite rank approximation and semidiscreteness for linear operators

Christian Le Merdy (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Given a completely bounded map u : Z M from an operator space Z into a von Neumann algebra (or merely a unital dual algebra) M , we define u to be C -semidiscrete if for any operator algebra A , the tensor operator I A u is bounded from A min Z into A nor M , with norm less than C . We investigate this property and characterize it by suitable approximation properties, thus generalizing the Choi-Effros characterization of semidiscrete von Neumann algebras. Our work is an extension of some recent work of Pisier on an analogous...

Finite sums and products of commutators in inductive limit C * -algebras

Klaus Thomsen (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Results of T. Fack, P. de la Harpe and G. Skandalis concerning the internal structure of simple A F -algebras are extended to C * -algebras that are inductive limits of finite direct sums of homogeneous C * -algebras. The generalizations are obtained with slightly varying assumptions on the building blocks, but all results are applicable to unital simple inductive limits of finite direct sums of circle algebras.

First order calculi with values in right-universal bimodules

Andrzej Borowiec, Vladislav Kharchenko, Zbigniew Oziewicz (1997)

Banach Center Publications

The purpose of this note is to show how calculi on unital associative algebra with universal right bimodule generalize previously studied constructions by Pusz and Woronowicz [1989] and by Wess and Zumino [1990] and that in this language results are in a natural context, are easier to describe and handle. As a by-product we obtain intrinsic, coordinate-free and basis-independent generalization of the first order noncommutative differential calculi with partial derivatives.
