A mapping $f: {\mathcal M} \to {\mathcal N}$ between Hilbert $C^*$-modules approximately preserves the inner product if \[\|< f(x), f(y)> - < x, y> \| \leq \phi(x, y),\] for an appropriate control function $\phi(x,y)$ and all $x, y \in…

Let $E$ and $F$ be two Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, respectively. Let $T$ be a surjective linear isometry from $E$ onto $F$ and $\varphi$ a map from $A$ into $B$. We will prove in this paper that if the…

Let H be a Hilbert $C^*$-module over a matrix algebra A. It is proved that any function $T:H\to H$ which preserves the absolute value of the (generalized) inner product is of the form $Tf=\phi(f)Uf$ $(f\in H)$, where $\phi$ is a…

We show that the unit ball of a full Hilbert $C^*$-module is sequentially compact in a certain weak topology if and only if the underlying $C^*$-algebra is finite dimensional. This provides an answer to the question posed in J.…

Let $G$ be a discrete group acting on a von Neumann algebra $M$ by properly outer $*$-automorphisms. In this paper we study the containment $M \subseteq M\rtimes_\alpha G$ of $M$ inside the crossed product. We characterize the intermediate…

The similarity problem is one of the most famous open problems in the theory of $C^*$-algebras. We say that a $C^*$-algebra $\cl A$ satisfies the similarity property ((SP) for short) if every bounded homomorphism $u\colon \cl A\to \cl B(H)$…

In this paper, we give the general solution of the functional equation $$\big\{\|f(x)+f(y)\|,\|f(x)-f(y)\|\big\}=\big\{\|x+y\|,\|x-y\|\big\}\qquad(x,y\in X)$$ where $f:X\to Y$ and $X,Y$ are inner product spaces. Related equations are also…

As a partial generalisation of the Uhlhorn theorem to Hilbert $C^*$-modules, we show in this article that the module structure and the orthogonality structure of a Hilbert $C^*$-module determine its Hilbert $C^*$-module structure. In fact,…

Investigating the direct integral decomposition of von Neumann algebras of bounded module operators on self-dual Hilbert W*-moduli an equivalence principle is obtained which connects the theory of direct disintegration of von Neumann…

We study bounded bilinear maps on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ having product property at $c\in A$. This leads us to the question of when a C$^*$-algebra is determined by products at $c.$ In the first part of our paper, we investigate this question…

We investigate the orthogonality preserving property for pairs of mappings on inner product $C^*$-modules extending existing results for a single orthogonality-preserving mapping. Guided by the point of view that the $C^*$-valued inner…

Let $B$ be a $C^{*}$-algebra, $X$ a Hilbert $C^{*}$-module over $B$ and $M,N\subset X$ a pair of complemented submodules. We prove the $C^{*}$-module version of von Neumann's alternating projections theorem: the sequence $(P_{N}P_{M})^{n}$…

Continuous actions of topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces $X$ are investigated which induce almost periodic functions in the corresponding commutative C*-algebra. The unique invariant mean on the group resulting from averaging…

Let F be a right Hilbert C*-module over a C*-algebra B, and suppose that F is equipped with a left action, by compact operators, of a second C*-algebra A. Tensor product with F gives a functor from Hilbert C*-modules over A to Hilbert…

Let (G,P) be a quasi-lattice ordered group and let X be a compactly aligned product system over P of Hilbert bimodules. Under mild hypotheses we associate to X a C*-algebra which we call the Cuntz-Nica-Pimsner algebra of X. Our construction…

We define the notion of $\varphi$-perturbation of a densely defined adjointable mapping and prove that any such mapping $f$ between Hilbert ${\mathcal A}$-modules over a fixed $C^*$-algebra ${\mathcal A}$ with densely defined corresponding…

Wigner's Theorem states that bijections of the set P_1(H) of one-dimensional projections on a Hilbert space H that preserve transition probabilities are induced by either a unitary or an anti-unitary operator on H (which is uniquely…

We give a new Banach module characterization of $W^*$-modules, also known as selfdual Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a von Neumann algebra. This leads to a generalization of the notion, and the theory, of W*-modules, to the setting where the…

Let $G = G_{1} \times G_{2}$ be a product of two locally compact, second countable groups and $\mu \in \mathrm{Prob}(G)$ be of the form $\mu = \mu_{1} \times \mu_{2}$, where $\mu_{i} \in \mathrm{Prob}(G_{i})$. Let $(B,\nu_B)$ be the…

The category of $C^*$-algebras is blessed with many different tensor products. In contrast, virtually the only tensor product ever used in the category of von Neumann algebras is the normal spatial tensor product. We propose a definition of…
