We study $C^*$-algebras arising from $C^*$-correspondences, which was introduced by the author. We prove the gauge-invariant uniqueness theorem, and obtain conditions for our $C^*$-algebras to be nuclear, exact, or satisfy the Universal…

The Riemannian Bures metric on the space of (normalized) complex positive matrices is used for parameter estimation of mixed quantum states based on repeated measurements just as the Fisher information in classical statistics. It appears…

We study nonnegatively curved metrics on S^2xR^4. First, we prove rigidity theorems for connection metrics; for example, the holonomy group of the normal bundle of the soul must lie in a maximal torus of SO(4). Next, we prove that Wilking's…

We study modules for the divided power algebra $D$ in a single variable over a commutative noetherian ring $k$. Our first result states that $D$ is a coherent ring. In fact, we show that there is a theory of Gr\"obner bases for finitely…

The aim of the present paper is to describe self-duality and C*- reflexivity of Hilbert {\bf A}-modules $\cal M$ over monotone complete C*-algebras {\bf A} by the completeness of the unit ball of $\cal M$ with respect to two types of…

In this paper, we provide a representation of a certain class of C*-valued positive sesquilinear and linear maps on non-unital quasi *-algebras. Also, we illustrate our results on the concrete examples of non-unital Banach quasi *-algebras,…

Every positive multilinear map between $C^*$-algebras is separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that the joint weak$^*$-continuity is equivalent to the joint weak$^*$-continuity of the multiplications of $C^*$-algebras under consideration.…

We prove that certain closable derivations on the GNS Hilbert space associated with a non-tracial weight on a von Neumann algebra give rise to GNS-symmetric semigroups of contractive completely positive maps on the von Neumann algebra.

We study bounded bilinear maps on a C$^*$-algebra $A$ having product property at $c\in A$. This leads us to the question of when a C$^*$-algebra is determined by products at $c.$ In the first part of our paper, we investigate this question…

We consider converses to the density theorem for irreducible, projective, unitary group representations restricted to lattices using the dimension theory of Hilbert modules over twisted group von Neumann algebras. We show that under the…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra and $H$ a Hilbert space. The cone $\CP(A,B(H))$ of completely positive maps carries the Bures metric $\beta$, closely related to the cb-norm. We introduce a family of Bures--Kuratowski (BK) metrics on…

We present some properties of (not necessarily linear) positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. We first extend the notion of Lieb functions to that of Lieb positive maps between $C^*$-algebras. Then we give some basic properties and…

We show three Hahn-Banach type extension criteria for (sets of) bounded C*-linear maps of Hilbert C*-modules to the underlying C*-algebras of coefficients. One criterion establishes an alternative description of the property of (AW*-)…

We generalize the concept of mutually unbiased bases (MUB) to measurements which are not necessarily described by rank one projectors. As such, these measurements can be a useful tool to study the long standing problem of the existence of…

If the symmetry (fixed invertible self adjoint map) of Krein spaces is replaced by a fixed unitary, then we obtain the notion of S-spaces which was introduced by Szafraniec. Assume $\alpha$ to be an automorphism on a $C^*$-algebra. In this…

We prove a generalization for some $\mathbb C$ domains of Gehring - Palka theorem on Moebius transformations regarding the distance ratio metric. Namely, we show that this theorem is valid for arbitrary holomorphic mappings $f : H \to H$ or…

The notion of completely positive invariant conjugate-bilinear map in a partial *-algebra is introduced and a generalized Stinespring theorem is proven. Applications to the existence of integrable extensions of *-representations of…

We consider problems of estimation of structured covariance matrices, and in particular of matrices with a Toeplitz structure. We follow a geometric viewpoint that is based on some suitable notion of distance. To this end, we overview and…

Let A be a C*-algebra and d from A into A** be a continuous linear map. We assume that d acts like derivation or anti-derivation at orthogonal elements for several types of orthogonality conditions such as ab=0, ab*=0, ab=ba=0 and…

We study the issue of issue of purity (as a completely positive linear map) for identity maps on operators systems and for their completely isometric embeddings into their C$^*$-envelopes and injective envelopes. Our most general result…
