This work will be centered in commutative Banach subalgebras of the algebra of bounded linear operators defined on a Free Banach spaces of countable type. The main goal of this work wil be to formulate a representation theorem for these…
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…
Representations of $C^*$-algebras are realized on section spaces of holomorphic homogeneous vector bundles. The corresponding section spaces are investigated by means of a new notion of reproducing kernel, suitable for dealing with…
We describe the role of algebraic extensions in the theory of commutative, unital normed algebras, with special attention to uniform algebras. We shall also compare these constructions and show how they are related to each other.
We give a survey on the homotopy theory of the regular group of Banach algebras with emphasis on the unstable K-Theory of real and complex C*-algebras
We show that a unital involutive Banach algebra, with identity of norm one and continuous involution, is a C*-algebra, with the given involution and norm, if every continuous linear functional attaining its norm at the identity is positive.
It is a well-known fact that endomorphisms of $B(H)$ are intimately connected with families of mutually orthogonal isometries, i.e. with representations of the so-called Toeplitz $C^*$-algebras. In this paper we consider a natural…
Quasi *-algebras form an essential class of partial *-algebras, which are algebras of unbounded operators. In this work, we aim to construct tensor products of normed, respectively Banach quasi *-algebras, and study their capacity to…
In this work, I develop a new view of presentation theory for C*-algebras, both unital and non-unital, heavily grounded in classical notions from algebra. In particular, I introduce Tietze transformations for these presentations, which lead…
This survey aims to highlight some of the consequences that representable (and continuous) functionals have in the framework of Banach quasi *-algebras. In particular, we look at the link between the notions of *-semisimplicity and full…
Given two C*-algebras A and B, abstract A-B bimodules that can be isometrically represented as operator bimodules are characterised in terms of their norm. Various properties of such bimodules are given. Their theory is very similar to…
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of representation and dual representation for averaging Leibniz algebras. We also develop a cohomology theory for these algebras. Additionally, we explore the infinitesimal and formal deformation…
We construct commutative algebra spectra that represent the operator $K$-theory of $C^*$-algebras, which are algebras over the commutative ring spectra that represent topological $K$-theory. The spectral multiplicative structure introduces…
We introduce C*-algebras over C_{\infty}(Q,C) as Banach-Kantorovich *-algebras over the algebra C_{\infty}(Q,C) of extended continuous complex-valued functions, defined on comeager subsets of Stonean compact Q, whose norm satisfies…
We introduced and study a family of generalized norm on $C^*$-algebras and the notion of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and norm-parallelism with respect to these family of generalized norms are investigated.
In this thesis we explore the the possibility of characterising C* algebras by their (non-isometric) Banach algebra structure alone. We introduce a property of Banach algebras, the Total Reduction Property, and conjecture that a Banach…
Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies a one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological space.…
We initiate the study of cortex algebras (commutative Banach algebras with extendable multiplicative-linear functionals) and the spectral permanence property. In addition, we analyze some particular examples in this context and present open…
General expository paper concerning topics in Hilbert spaces, spectral theory, and harmonic analysis. The preliminary section includes basic Banach algebra and Hilbert space theory with a digression on Riesz bases. The second and third…
We introduce algebras which are inductive limits of Banach spaces and carry inequalities which are counterparts of the inequality for the norm in a Banach algebra. We then define an associated Wiener algebra, and prove the corresponding…
