For the $C^*$-crossed product $C^*(\Sigma)$ associated with an arbitrary topological dynamical system $\Sigma = (X, \sigma)$, we provide a detailed analysis of the commutant, in $C^* (\Sigma)$, of $C(X)$ and the commutant of the image of…

Given an essential ideal $J\subset A$ of a C*-algebra $A$, and a Hilbert C*-module $M$ over $A$, we place $M$ between two other Hilbert C*-modules over $A$, $M_J\subset M\subset M^J$, in such a way that each submodule here is thick, i.e.…

We prove that if $M\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded subanalytic submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$ such that $B(x_0,\epsilon)\cap M$ is connected for every $x_0\in\overline{M}$ and $\epsilon>0$ small, then, for $p\in [1,\infty)$ sufficiently…

A pure topological characterization of primitive ideal spaces of separable nuclear C*-algebras is given. We show that a $T_0$-space $X$ is a primitive ideal space of a separable nuclear C*-algebra $A$ if and only if $X$ is point-complete…

A left ideal of any $C^*$-algebra is an example of an operator algebra with a right contractive approximate identity (r.c.a.i.). Indeed left ideals in $C^*$-algebras may be characterized as the class of such operator algebras, which happen…

We prove that the hierarchical hull of any finite set of interior points, hierarchy rays, and boundary points in a hierarchically hyperbolic space (HHS) is quasi-median quasi-isometric to a CAT(0) cube complex of bounded dimension. Our…

In this article, we give an abstract characterization of the ``identity'' of an operator space $V$ by looking at a quantity $n_{cb}(V,u)$ which is defined in analogue to a well-known quantity in Banach space theory. More precisely, we show…

We show that, given a compact Hausdorff space $\Omega$, there is a compact group ${\mathbb G}$ and a homeomorphic embedding of $\Omega$ into ${\mathbb G}$, such that the restriction map ${\rm A}({\mathbb G})\to C(\Omega)$ is a complete…

Given a lineal H_0 and x_0\in H_0 and a linear injective operator U_0: H_0 \to H_0 such that all U_0^N, N \in {\bf Z} exist and all U_0^N x_0, N \in {\bf Z} are linearly independent, anyone can define on span{{U_0}^N x_0 | N \in {\bf Z}} a…

We study two classes of operator algebras associated with a unital subsemigroup $P$ of a discrete group $G$: one related to universal structures, and one related to co-universal structures. First we provide connections between universal…

An \textit{ideal} of $N$-tuples of operators is a class invariant with respect to unitary equivalence which contains direct sums of arbitrary collections of its members as well as their (reduced) parts. New decomposition theorems (with…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

This paper investigates realisations of elliptic differential operators of general order on manifolds with boundary following the approach of B\"ar-Ballmann to first order elliptic operators. The space of possible boundary values of…

We find first structural background information about the reasons that for any C*-algebra $A$ and any two Hilbert $A$-modules $M \subseteq N$ with $M^\perp=\{0\}$, every bounded $A$-linear map $N \to A$ (or $N \to N)$ vanishing on $M$ might…

Hilbert C*-modules are the analogues of Hilbert spaces where a C*-algebra plays the role of the scalar field. With the advent of Kasparov's celebrated KK-theory they became a standard tool in the theory of operator algebras. While the…

We present some results related to Hahn-Banach extension theorem for linear operators on asymmetric normed spaces. L. Nachbin, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 68 (1950), proved that a Banach space has the extension property for linear operators (a…

A notion of super operator system is defined which generalizes the usual notion of operator systems to include certain unital involutive operator spaces which cannot be represented completely isometric as a concrete operator system on some…

Induced representations of $\ast$-algebras by unbounded operators in Hilbert space are investigated. Conditional expectations of a $\ast$-algebra $\cA$ onto a unital $\ast$-subalgebra $\cB$ are introduced and used to define inner products…

We consider Carleson-Sj\"{o}lin operators on Riemannian manifolds that arise naturally from the study of Bochner-Riesz problems on manifolds. They are special cases of H\"{o}rmander-type oscillatory integral operators. We obtain improved…
