Report on K-theory for convenient algebras. II.
Separately σ-additive and separately finitely additive complex functions on the Cartesian product of two algebras of sets are represented in terms of spectral measures and their finitely additive counterparts. Applications of the techniques include a bounded joint convergence theorem for bimeasure integration, characterizations of positive-definite bimeasures, and a theorem on decomposing a bimeasure into a linear combination of positive-definite ones.
Representations of a module over a *-algebra are considered and some related seminorms are constructed and studied, with the aim of finding bounded *-representations of .
Suppose B is a unital algebra which is an algebraic product of full matrix algebras over an index set X. A bijection is set up between the equivalence classes of irreducible representations of B as operators on a Banach space and the σ-complete ultrafilters on X (Theorem 2.6). Therefore, if X has less than measurable cardinality (e.g. accessible), the equivalence classes of the irreducible representations of B are labeled by points of X, and all representations of B are described (Theorem 3.3).
It is shown that the isospectral bi-equivariant spectral triple on quantum SU(2) and the isospectral equivariant spectral triples on the Podleś spheres are related by restriction. In this approach, the equatorial Podleś sphere is distinguished because only in this case the restricted spectral triple admits an equivariant grading operator together with a real structure (up to infinitesimals of arbitrary high order). The real structure is expressed by the Tomita operator on quantum SU(2) and it is...
We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a normal CP-map on a von Neumann algebra to admit a restriction to a maximal commutative subalgebra. We apply this result to give a far reaching generalization of Rebolledo's sufficient criterion for the Lindblad generator of a Markov semigroup on ℬ(G).
We use the functorial properties of Rieffel’s pseudodifferential calculus to study families of operators associated to topological dynamical systems acted by a symplectic space. Information about the spectra and the essential spectra are extracted from the quasi-orbit structure of the dynamical system. The semi-classical behavior of the families of spectra is also studied.
Using very original methods from operator algebras, Sorin Popa has shown that the orbit structure of the Bernoulli action of a property (T) group, completely remembers the group and the action. This information is even essentially contained in the crossed product von Neumann algebra. This is the first von Neumann strong rigidity theorem in the literature. The same methods allow Popa to obtain II factors with prescribed countable fundamental group.
In 1969 Lindenstrauss and Rosenthal showed that if a Banach space is isomorphic to a complemented subspace of an -space, then it is either an -space or isomorphic to a Hilbert space. This is the motivation of this paper where we study non-Hilbertian complemented operator subspaces of non-commutative -spaces and show that this class is much richer than in the commutative case. We investigate the local properties of some new classes of operator spaces for every 2 < p < ∞ which can be considered...
