Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a unital Banach $*$-algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ be a unital $*$-$\mathcal{A}$-bimodule. If $W$ is a left separating point of $\mathcal{M}$, we show that every $*$-derivable mapping at $W$ is a Jordan derivation, and every…

Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ with a faithful normal semi-finite trace $\tau,$ we consider the non commutative Arens algebra $L^{\omega}(M, \tau)=\bigcap\limits_{p\geq1}L^{p}(M, \tau)$ and the related algebras $L^{\omega}_2(M,…

Given a commensurated subgroup $\Lambda$ of a group $\Gamma$, we completely characterize when the inclusion $\Lambda\leq \Gamma$ is $C^*$-irreducible and provide new examples of such inclusions. In particular, we obtain that…

For the algebra $\mI_1= K<x, \frac{d}{dx}, \int>$ of polynomial integro-differential operators over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, a classification of simple modules is given. It is proved that $\mI_1$ is a left and right coherent…

If E is a separable symmetric sequence space with trivial Boyd indices and $\cC^E$ is the corresponding ideal of compact operators, then there exists a $C^1$-function $f_E$, a self-adjoint element $W\in \cC^E$ and a densely defined closed…

Let ${\cal O}_{*}$ be the C$^{*}$-algebra defined as the direct sum of all Cuntz algebras. Then ${\cal O}_{*}$ has a non-cocommutative comultiplication $\Delta_{\phi}$ and a counit $\epsilon$. Let ${\rm BI}({\cal O}_{*})$ denote the set of…

We give a coset realization of the vertex operator algebra $M(1)^+$ with central charge $\ell$. We realize $M(1)^+$ as a commutant of certain affine vertex algebras of level -1 in the vertex algebra $L_{C_{\ell}…

The C*-algebra of bounded operators on the separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space cannot be mapped to a W*-algebra in such a way that each unital commutative C*-subalgebra C(X) factors normally through $\ell^\infty(X)$. Consequently,…

With a nilpotent element in a semisimple Lie algebra g one associates a finitely generated associative algebra W called a W-algebra of finite type. This algebra is obtained from the universal enveloping algebra U(g) by a certain Hamiltonian…

We investigate how a C*-algebra could consist of functions on a noncommutative set: a discretization of a C*-algebra $A$ is a $*$-homomorphism $A \to M$ that factors through the canonical inclusion $C(X) \subseteq \ell^\infty(X)$ when…

In this notes unbounded regular operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules over arbitrary $C^*$-algebras are discussed. A densely defined operator $t$ possesses an adjoint operator if the graph of $t$ is an orthogonal summand. Moreover, for a…

We begin a study of torsion theories for representations of an important class of associative algebras over a field which includes all finite W-algebras of type A, in particular the universal enveloping algebra of gl(n) (or sl(n)) for all…

If $A$ is a $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra and $a$ is a strictly positive element of $A$ then for every compact subset $K$ of the complete regularization $\mathrm{Glimm}(A)$ of $\mathrm{Prim}(A)$ there exists $\alpha > 0$ such that $K\subset…

Let $K$ be a compact metric space and let $\varphi: K \to K$ be continuous. We study C*-algebra $\mathcal{MC}_\varphi$ generated by all multiplication operators by continuous functions on $K$ and a composition operator $C_\varphi$ induced…

Lin's theorem states that for all $\epsilon > 0$, there is a $\delta > 0$ such that for all $n \geq 1$ if self-adjoint contractions $A,B \in M_n(\mathbb{C})$ satisfy $\|[A,B]\|< \delta$ then there are self-adjoint contractions $A',B' \in…

A new C*-enlargement of a C*-algebra $A$ nested between the local multiplier algebra $M_{\text{loc}}(A)$ of $A$ and its injective envelope $I(A)$ is introduced. Various aspects of this maximal C*-algebra of quotients, $Q_{\text{max}}(A)$,…

We obtained a "decomposition scheme" of C*-algebras. We show that the classes of discrete C*-algebras (as defined by Peligard and Zsido), type II C*-algebras and type III C*-algebras (both defined by Cuntz and Pedersen) form a good…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a simple, $\sigma$-unital, non-unital, non-elementary C*-algebra and let $I_{min}$ be the intersection of all the ideals of $\mathcal M(\mathcal A)$ that properly contain $\mathcal A$. $I_{min}$ coincides with the ideal…

For $a,b\in \mathbb{C}$, the Lie algebra $\mathcal{W}(a,b)$ is the semidirect product of the Witt algebra and a module of the intermediate series. In this paper, all biderivations of $\mathcal{W}(a,b)$ are determined. Surprisingly, these…

Motivated by advances in categorical probability, we introduce non-commutative almost everywhere (a.e.) equivalence and disintegrations in the setting of C*-algebras. We show that C*-algebras (resp. W*-algebras) and a.e. equivalence classes…
