The generalized state space of a commutative C*-algebra, denoted S_H(C(X)), is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. C*-convexity is one of several non-commutative…

The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by $\Sigma$, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new…

We show that the following conditions on a C*-algebra are equivalent: (i) it has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings, (ii) the spectrum of every self adjoint element is finite, (iii) it is finite dimensional. We prove that…

This paper delves into several characterizations of $A$-approximate point spectrum of A-bounded operators acting on a complex semi-Hilbertian space $H$ and also investigates properties of the $A$-approximate point spectrum for the tensor…

Given a contraction A on a Hilbert space H, an operator T on H is said to be A-invariant if <Tx,x>=<TAx,Ax> for every x in H such that ||Ax||=||x||. In the special case in which both defect indices of A are equal to 1, we show that every…
