We introduce a notion of a uniform structure on the set of all representations of a given separable, not necessarilly commutative $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$ by introducing a suitable family of metrics on the set of representations of…

We extend the Gelfand-Naimark duality of commutative C*-algebras, "A COMMUTATIVE C*-ALGEBRA -- A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE" to "A C*-ALGEBRA--A QUOTIENT OF A LOCALLY COMPACT HAUSDORFF SPACE". Thus, a C*-algebra is isomorphic to the…

We show that certain C*-algebras which have been studied among others by Arzumanian, Vershik, Deaconu, and Renault in connection to a measure preserving transformation of a measure space and/or to a covering map of a compact space are…

Universal continuous calculi are defined and it is shown that for every finite tuple of pairwise commuting Hermitian elements of a Su*-algebra (an ordered *-algebra that is symmetric, i.e. "strictly" positive elements are invertible, and…

We prove that any separable exact C*-algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_2.$ We further prove that if $A$ is a simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra, then ${\cal O}_2 \otimes A \cong {\cal O}_2,$ and…

In a first objective we improve our understanding about surjective and bijective bounded linear operators preserving orthogonality from a JB$^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ into a JB$^*$-triple $E$. Among many other conclusions, it is shown that…

In this paper we characterize the Birkhoff--James orthogonality with respect to the numerical radius norm $v(\cdot)$ in $C^*$-algebras. More precisely, for two elements $a, b$ in a $C^*$-algebra $\mathfrak{A}$, we show that $a\perp_{B}^{v}…

Let $R$ be a finite commutative ring with identity. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for the existence of an orthogonal decomposition of the special linear Lie algebra over $R$. Additionally, we study orthogonal decompositions…

We prove some stability results for certain classes of C*-algebras. We prove that whenever $A$ is a finite-dimensional C*-algebra, $B$ is a C*-algebra and $\phi\colon A\to B$ is approximately a $^*$-homomorphism then there is an actual…

Suppose $\mathscr M$ and $\mathscr N$ are von Neumann algebras. Two operators $A$ and $B$ in $\mathscr M$ are said to be orthogonal if $A^*B=0$, meaning their ranges are orthogonal. Let $\varphi\colon\mathscr M\to\mathscr N$ be a map. We…

We present a Lebesgue-type decomposition for a representable functional on a $^*$-algebra into absolutely continuous and singular parts with respect to an other. This generalizes the corresponding results of S. P. Gudder for unital Banach…

We prove the existence of commutative $C^*$-algebras of Toeplitz operators on every weighted Bergman space over the complex projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$. The symbols that define our algebras are those that depend only on the…

An n-homomorphism between algebras is a linear map $\phi : A \to B$ such that $\phi(a_1 ... a_n) = \phi(a_1)... \phi(a_n)$ for all elements $a_1, >..., a_n \in A.$ Every homomorphism is an n-homomorphism, for all n >= 2, but the converse is…

We investigate the representation of the so-called orthogonally $a$-Jensen mappings acting on $C^*$-modules. More precisely, let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra with the unit $1$, let $a \in \mathfrak{A}$ be fixed such that $a,…

By Bartle-Graves theorem every surjective map between C*-algebras has a continuous section, and Loring proved that that there exists a continuous section of norm arbitrary close to 1. Here we prove that there exists a continuous section of…

Let $H$ be a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, $\dim H \ge 2$. We prove that every continuous coexistency preserving map on the effect algebra $E(H)$ is either a standard automorphism of $E(H)$, or a standard automorphism of $E(H)$ composed…

In this paper, we investigate *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras associated to \'etale groupoids. First, we prove that such a *-homomorphism can be described by closed invariant subsets, groupoid homomorphisms and cocycles under some…

In this paper we put forward the definition of particular subsets on a unital C*-algebra, that we call isocones, and which reduce in the commutative case to the set of continuous non-decreasing functions with real values for a partial order…
