This note aims to highlight the link between representable functionals and derivations on a Banach quasi *-algebra, i.e. a mathematical structure that can be seen as the completion of a normed *-algebra in the case the multiplication is…

A Banach space $X$ has \textit{property $(K)$}, whenever every weak* null sequence in the dual space admits a convex block subsequence $(f_{n})_{n=1}^\infty$ so that $\langle f_{n},x_{n}\rangle\to 0$ as $n\to \infty$ for every weakly null…

This survey aims to highlight some of the consequences that representable (and continuous) functionals have in the framework of Banach quasi *-algebras. In particular, we look at the link between the notions of *-semisimplicity and full…

We consider the properties weak cancellation, K_1-surjectivity, good index theory, and K_1-injectivity for the class of extremally rich C*-algebras, and for the smaller class of isometrically rich C*-algebras. We establish all four…

We extend the usual theory of universal C*-algebras from generators and relations in order to allow some relations to be described using the strong operator topology. In particular, we can allow some infinite sum relations. We prove a…

We study the extension problem for quasidiagonal (QD) C*-algebras (i.e. when is an extension of QD C*-algebras again QD?). The main positive result states that in many instances an extension will remain QD provided that a certain boundary…

Connectivity is a homotopy invariant property of separable C*-algebras which has three notable consequences: absence of nontrivial projections, quasidiagonality and a more geometric realization of KK-theory for nuclear C*-algebras using…

In this paper, we introduce the new notion of strong pseudo-Connes amenability for dual Banach algebras. We study the relation between this new notion to the various notions of Connes amenability. Also we show that for every non-empty set…

In this paper, we give two properties of C*-algebra that could be deduced from the properties of its large subalgebra. Let A be an infinite dimensional simple unital C*-algebra and let B be a centrally large subalgebra of A, we prove that A…

We construct a crossed product Banach algebra from a Banach algebra dynamical system $(A,G,\alpha)$ and a given uniformly bounded class $R$ of continuous covariant Banach space representations of that system. If $A$ has a bounded left…

We propose a unified approach to the study of isometries on algebras of vector-valued Lipschitz maps and those of continuously differentiable maps by means of the notion of natural $C(Y)$-valuezations that take values in unital commutative…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have the alternative Daugavet property if for every (bounded and linear) rank-one operator $T:X\longrightarrow X$ there exists a modulus one scalar $\omega$ such that $\|Id + \omega T\|= 1 + \|T\|$. We give…

We prove that unital graph C*-algebras often admit a convenient decomposition into amalgamated free products. We use this to give a complete characterization of when a unital graph C*-algebra is residually finite-dimensional and when it is…

In this paper we present a unified algebraic framework to discuss the reduction of classical and quantum systems. The underlying algebraic structure is a Lie-Jordan algebra supplemented, in the quantum case, with a Banach structure. We…

We describe representations of groupoid C*-algebras on Hilbert modules over arbitrary C*-algebras by a universal property. For Hilbert space representations, our universal property is equivalent to Renault's Integration-Disintegration…

We provide a characterization of the Banach spaces $X$ with a Schauder basis $(e_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ which have the property that the dual space $X^*$ is naturally isomorphic to the space $\mathcal{L}_{diag}(X)$ of diagonal operators with…

We study the spectral synthesis for the Banach *-algebra $A\oop B$, the operator space projective tensor product of $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$. It is shown that if $A$ or $B$ has finitely many closed ideals, then $A\oop B$ obeys spectral…

We study boundaries for unital operator algebras. These are sets of irreducible $*$-representations that completely capture the spatial norm attainment for a given subalgebra. Classically, the Choquet boundary is the minimal boundary of a…

Classical Banach principle is an essential tool for the investigation of the ergodic properties of Cesaro subsequences. The aim of this work is to extend Banach principle to the case of the stochastic convergence in the operator algebras.…

We construct the full and reduced C*-algebras of an ample groupoid from its complex Steinberg algebra. We also show that our construction gives the same C*-algebras as the standard constructions. In the last section, we consider an…
