In this paper, we prove that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital separable $C^*$-algebra, $\mathcal{M}$ is a von Neumann algebra which has the Kirchberg's quotient weak expectation property (QWEP), and $\phi:\, \mathcal{A}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}$…

We consider C*-algebras associated with stable and unstable equivalence in hyperbolic dynamical systems known as Smale spaces. These systems include shifts of finite type, in which case these C*-algebras are both AF-algebras. These algebras…

This article is devoted to the investigation of $B^*$-algebras, dual and annihilator ultranormed algebras. Their structure is studied in the paper. Extensions of algebras and fields are considered and using them core radicals and radicals…

The generalized state space of a commutative C*-algebra, denoted S_H(C(X)), is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. C*-convexity is one of several non-commutative…

We look at various forms of spectrum and associated pseudospectrum that can be defined for noncommuting $d$-tuples of Hermitian elements of a $C^*$-algebra. The emphasis is on theoretical calculations of examples, in particular for…

A $\Sigma^*$-algebra is a concrete $C^*$-algebra that is sequentially closed in the weak operator topology. We study an appropriate class of $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras analogous to the class of $W^*$-modules (selfdual…

The classical Gelfand--Naimark theorems provide important insight into the structure of general and of commutative C*-algebras. It is shown that these can be generalized to certain ordered *-algebras. More precisely, for $\sigma$-bounded…

We introduce a method to define $C^*$-algebras from $C^*$-correspondences. Our construction generalizes Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-modules, and graph algebras.

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and $\mathcal{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$, equipped with the operator-norm. By improving the Brown-Pearcy construction,…

The purpose of this note is to show that, if $\mcB$ is a uniformly convex Banach, then the dual space $\mcB'$ has a "Hilbert space representation" (defined in the paper), that makes $\mcB$ much closer to a Hilbert space then previously…

Topological complexity for spaces was introduced by M. Farber as a minimal number of continuity domains for motion planning algorithms. It turns out that this notion can be extended to the case of not necessarily commutative C*-algebras.…

We show that the theory of a non-degenerate representation of a C*-algebra A over a Hilbert space H is superstable. Also, we characterize forking, orthogonality and domination of types and show that the theory has weak elimination of…

Let $\gamma = (\gamma_1,...,\gamma_N)$, $N \geq 2$, be a system of proper contractions on a complete metric space. Then there exists a unique self-similar non-empty compact subset $K$. We consider the union ${\mathcal G} = \cup_{i=1}^N…

We consider C*-algebras generated by a single Hilbert bimodule (Pimsner-Toeplitz algebras) and by a product systems of Hilbert bimodules. We give a new proof of a theorem of Pimsner, which states that any representation of the generating…

After an appropriate restatement of the GNS construction for topological $^*$-algebras we prove that there exists an isomorphism among the set $\cycl(A)$ of weakly continuous strongly cyclic $^*$-representations of a barreled dual-separable…

We introduce \textit{singular value functions} for C\(^*\)-algebras, generalizing the singular values of compact operators on Hilbert spaces. We also establish several fundamental properties of these singular value functions and present…

We introduce unbounded multipliers on operator spaces. These multipliers generalize both, regular operators on Hilbert C*-modules and (bounded) multipliers on operator spaces.

We prove a number of results on integrability and extendability of Lie algebras of unbounded skew-symmetric operators with common dense domain in Hilbert space. By integrability for a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we mean that there is an…

Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…

We compute the C*-algebra generated by a group of composition operators acting on certain reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces over the disk, where the symbols belong to a non-elementary Fuchsian group. We show that such a C*-algebra contains…
