We prove the following two results. First, the isometry semigroup of a unital properly infinite nuclear C*-algebra is right amenable. Second, the unitary group of a unital simple monotracial C*-algebra whose tracial GNS representation is…

In an attempt to propose more general conditions for decoherence to occur, we study spectral and ergodic properties of unital, completely positive maps on not necessarily unital $C^*$-algebras, with a particular focus on gapped maps for…

We obtain an order sharp estimate for the distance from a given bounded operator $A$ on a Hilbert space to the set of normal operators in terms of $\|[A,A^*]\|$ and the distance to the set of invertible operators. A slightly modified…

The notion of isomorphism of stable AF-C*-algebras is considered in this paper in the case when the corresponding Bratteli diagram is stationary, i.e., is associated with a single square primitive nonsingular incidence matrix.…

Suppose $\mathcal{A}$ is a separable unital ASH C*-algebra, $\mathcal{R}$ is a sigma-finite II$_{\infty}$ factor von Neumann algebra, and $\pi,\rho :\mathcal{A}\rightarrow\mathcal{R}$ are unital $\ast$-homomorphisms such that, for every…

A linear map $\phi:{\mathcal A}\to {\mathcal B} $ between (Banach) algebras is called 3-homomorphism if $\phi(abc)=\phi(a)\phi(b)\phi(c)$ for each $a, b, c \in {\mathcal A}$. We investigate 3-homomorphisms on Banach algebras with bounded…

We study new classes of linear preservers between C$^*$-algebras and JB$^*$-triples. Let $E$ and $F$ be JB$^*$-triples with $\partial_{e} (E_1)$. We prove that every linear map $T:E\to F$ strongly preserving Brown-Pedersen quasi-invertible…

We consider the convex set of ( unital ) positive ( completely ) maps from a $C^*$ algebra $\cla$ to a von-Neumann sub-algebra $\clm$ of $\clb(\clh)$, the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space $\clh$ and study its extreme…

We prove that the Christensen distance (resp., the Kadison-Kastler distance) between two $C^*$-subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ of a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{C}$ is equal to that between their enveloping von Neumann algebras…

In this paper we prove that several operator algebras are completely isomorphic to each other; e.g., the $C^*_\lambda(F_k)$, $k\geq 2$, the $C^*$-algebras generated by the regular left representation $\lambda:F_k\to B(\ell_2(F_k))$, are…

We say that a C*-algebra X has the approximate n-th root property (n\geq 2) if for every a\in X with ||a||\leq 1 and every \epsilon>0 there exits b\in X such that ||b||\leq 1 and ||a-b^n||<\epsilon. Some properties of commutative and…

It is shown in this paper that two positive elements of a C*-algebra agree on all lower semicontinuous traces if and only if they are equivalent in the sense of Cuntz and Pedersen. A similar result is also obtained in the more general case…

Arveson's extension theorem guarantees that every completely positive map defined on an operator system can be extended to a completely positive map defined on the whole C*-algebra containing it. An analogous statement where complete…

For unital $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we completely characterize the isometric ($*$-) automorphisms of their Banach space projective tensor product $A\otimes^\gamma B$. This leads to the characterization of inner and outer isometric…

We classify unital monomorphisms into certain simple Z-stable C^*-algebras up to approximate unitary equivalence. The domain algebra C is allowed to be any unital separable commutative C^*-algebra, or any unital simple separable nuclear…

In a previous paper we showed how the main theorems characterizing operator algebras and operator modules, fit neatly into the framework of the `noncommutative Shilov boundary', and more particularly via the left multiplier operator algebra…

A well-known theorem of Blackadar and Handelman states that every unital stably finite C*-algebra has a bounded quasitrace. Rather strong generalizations of stable finiteness to the non-unital case can be obtained by either requiring the…

A graph is reducible if it is the lexicographic product of two smaller non-trivial graphs. It is well-known a 1-planar graph with $n ~(\ge3)$ vertices has at most $4n-8$ edges, and a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices is optimal if $G$ has exactly…

Let $\phi:M_n\to B(H)$ be an injective, completely positive contraction with $\V\phi^{-1}:\phi(M_n)\to M_n\V_{cb}\leq1+\delta(\epsilon).$ We show that if either (i) $\phi(M_n)$ is faithful modulo the compact operators or (ii) $\phi(M_n)$…

A linear map between matrix spaces is positive if it maps positive semidefinite matrices to positive semidefinite ones, and is called completely positive if all its ampliations are positive. In this article quantitative bounds on the…
