Local maps and the representation theory of operator algebras

Operator Algebras 2015-02-10 v2

Abstract

Using representation theory techniques we prove that various spaces of derivations or one-sided multipliers over certain operator algebras are reflexive. A sample result: any bounded local derivation (local left multiplier) on an automorphic semicrossed product is a derivation (resp. left multiplier). In the process we obtain various results of independent interest. In particular, the finite dimensional nest representations of the tensor algebra of a topological graph separate points.
