Quasi *-algebras and generalized inductive limits of C*-algebras

Giorgia Bellomonte, Camillo Trapani (2011)

Studia Mathematica

A generalized procedure for the construction of the inductive limit of a family of C*-algebras is proposed. The outcome is no more a C*-algebra but, under certain assumptions, a locally convex quasi *-algebra, named a C*-inductive quasi *-algebra. The properties of positive functionals and representations of C*-inductive quasi *-algebras are investigated, in close connection with the corresponding properties of positive functionals and representations of the C*-algebras that generate the structure....

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...

Spectral well-behaved *-representations

S. J. Bhatt, M. Fragoulopoulou, A. Inoue (2005)

Banach Center Publications

In this brief account we present the way of obtaining unbounded *-representations in terms of the so-called "unbounded" C*-seminorms. Among such *-representations we pick up a special class with "good behaviour" and characterize them through some properties of the Pták function.
