Using the notion of complete compactness introduced by H. Saar, we define completely almost periodic functionals on completely contractive Banach algebras. We show that, if $(M,\Gamma)$ is a Hopf--von Neumann algebra with $M$ injective,…

It is shown that the collection of weakly almost periodic functionals on the convolution algebra of a commutative Hopf von Neumann algebra is a C$^*$-algebra. This implies that the weakly almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure…

A theorem of Davis, Figiel, Johnson and Pe{\l}czy\'nski tells us that weakly-compact operators between Banach spaces factor through reflexive Banach spaces. The machinery underlying this result is that of the real interpolation method,…

We show that a QWEP von Neumann algebra has the weak* positive approximation property if and only if it is seemingly injective in the following sense: there is a factorization of the identity of $M$ $$Id_M=vu: M{\buildrel…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be separable Banach spaces. Suppose $Y$ either has a shrinking basis or $Y$ is isomorphic to $C(2^\mathbb{N})$ and $A$ is a subset of weakly compact operators from $X$ to $Y$ which is analytic in the strong operator…

Let $M\subset B(\mathcal H)$ be a von Neumann algebra acting on the Hilbert space $\mathcal H$. We prove that $M$ is finite if and only if, for every $x\in M$ and for all vectors $\xi,\eta\in\mathcal H$, the coefficient function $u\mapsto…

The framework of the paper is that of the full Fock space ${\Cal F}^2({\Cal H}_n)$ and the Banach algebra $F^\infty$ which can be viewed as non-commutative analogues of the Hardy spaces $H^2$ and $H^\infty$ respectively. An inner-outer…

Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra (resp. a type II$_{1}$ factor) and let $N\subset M$ be a II$_{1}$ factor (resp. $N\subset M$ have an atomic part). We prove that the inclusion $N\subset M$ is amenable implies the identity map on $M$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group, and consider the weakly-almost periodic functionals on $M(G)$, the measure algebra of $G$, denoted by $\wap(M(G))$. This is a C$^*$-subalgebra of the commutative C$^*$-algebra $M(G)^*$, and so has…

For a compact Hausdorff space $X$, the space $SC(X\times X)$ of separately continuous complex valued functions on $X$ can be viewed as a $C^*$-subalgebra of $C(X)^{**}\overline\otimes C(X)^{**}$, namely those elements which slice into…

We consider an action of the circle group, T on a von Neumann algebra, M. Similarly to the case when the algebra of essentially bounded functions on T is acted upon by translations, we define the generalized Hardy subspace of H,where H is…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

We characterize injectivity of von Neumann algebras in terms of factoring bilinear maps as products of linear maps.

For a semisimple quasi-triangular Hopf algebra $\left( H,R\right) $ over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, and a strongly separable quantum commutative $H$-module algebra $A$ over which the Drinfeld element of $H$ acts trivially, we show…

We prove that any weak* continuous semigroup $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of factorizable Markov maps acting on a von Neumann algebra $M$ equipped with a normal faithful state can be dilated by a group of Markov $*$-automorphisms analogous to the…

Let $M$ be a Hopf--von Neuman algebra with the predual $M_*$ and $WAP(M)$ the subspace in $M$ composed of weakly almost periodic functionals on $M_*$. The main example of such an algebra is $M=L^\infty(\mathbb G)$ for a locally compact…

Let M be a von Neumann algebra of type II_1 which is also a complemented subspace of B(H). We establish an algebraic criterion, which ensures that M is an injective von Neumann algebra. As a corollary we show that if M is a complemented…

Let D be a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space H and x a bounded operator on H. We say that x is n-times weakly D-differentiable, if for any pair of vectors a, b from H the function < exp(itD)x exp(-itD) a, b> is n-times…

Let $M$ be a finite von Neumann algebra with the Haagerup property, and let $G$ be a compact group that acts continuously on $M$ and that preserves some finite trace $\tau$. We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a countable subgroup of $G$ which has…

The paper is devoted to the relationship between almost limited operators and weakly compacts operators. We show that if $F$ is a $\sigma $-Dedekind complete Banach lattice then, every almost limited operator $T:E\rightarrow F $ is weakly…
