On munit la classe des algèbres de Kac d’une nouvelle classe de morphismes, stable par dualité. Cela permet de rendre compte, dans les cas abélien ou symétrique, de la catégorie des groupes localement compacts munis des morphismes continus de groupe. Le lien avec les morphismes précédemment définis et beaucoup plus restrictifs est établi.
G. Elliott extended the classification theory of -algebras to certain real rank zero inductive limits of subhomogeneous -algebras with one dimensional spectrum. We show that this class of -algebras is not closed under extensions. The relevant obstruction is related to the torsion subgroup of the -group. Perturbation and lifting results are provided for certain subhomogeneous -algebras.
In this short note we give a short and elementary proof of a characterization of those extreme points of the closed unit ball in C*-algebras which are unitary. The result was originally proved by G. K. Pedersen using some methods from the theory of approximation by invertible elements.
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...
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....
We study a certain class of von Neumann algebras generated by selfadjoint elements , where satisfy the general commutation relations: . We assume that the operator T for which the constants 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...
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)....
