Abstract

In the theory of Hilbert CC^*-modules over a CC^*-algebra AA (in contrast with the theory of Hilbert spaces) not each bounded operator (AA-homomorphism) admits an adjoint. The interplay between the sets of adjointable and non-adjointable operators plays a very important role in the theory. We study an intermediate notion of locally adjointable operator F:MNF:M \to N, i.e. such an operator that FgF\circ g is adjointable for any adjointable g:AMg: A \to M. We have introduced this notion recently and it has demonstrated its usefulness in the context of theory of uniform structures on Hilbert CC^*-modules. In the present paper we obtain an explicit description of locally adjointable operators in important cases.
