This paper characterizes the unital C*-algebra generated by a single invertible element as the unital free product of C[0,1] and C(T). To do this, I develop techniques to split and merge presentations of C*-algebras using free products in…
We introduce a quite large class of functions (including the exponential function and the power functions with exponent greater than one), and show that for any element $f$ of this function class, a self-adjoint element $a$ of a…
Given a pair of intermediate $C^*$-subalgebras of a unital inclusion of simple $C^*$-algebras with a conditional expectation of finite Watatani index, we discuss the corresponding angle operator and its Fourier transform. We provide a…
The aim of this article is to describe a class of *-algebras that allows to treat well-behaved algebras of unbounded operators independently of a representation. To this end, Archimedean ordered *-algebras (*-algebras whose real linear…
The starting points for this paper are simple descriptions of the norm and strong* closures of the unitary orbit of a normal operator in a von Neumann algebra. The statements are in terms of spectral data and do not depend on the type or…
In this paper, we investigate the relative operator entropies in the more general settings of C*-algebras, real C*-algebras and JC-algebras. We show that all the operator inequalities on relative operator entropies still hold in these…
We consider various lifting problems for C*-algebras. As an application of our results we show that any commuting family of order zero maps from matrices to a von Neumann central sequence algebra can be lifted to a commuting family of order…
Let $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{H})$ denote the $C^*$-algebra of adjointable operators on a Hilbert $C^*$-module $\mathscr{H}$. We introduce the generalized Cauchy-Schwarz inequality for operators in $\mathcal{L}(\mathscr{H})$ and investigate…
We establish several operator versions of the classical Aczel inequality. One of operator versions deals with the weighted operator geometric mean and another is related to the positive sesquilinear forms. Some applications including the…
A general method of investigation of the uniqueness property for $C^*$-algebra equipped with a circle gauge action is discussed. It unifies isomorphism theorems for various crossed products and Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem for…
We study a relation between the Hecke groups and the index of subfactors in a von Neumann algebra. Such a problem was raised by V. F. R. Jones. We solve the problem using the notion of a cluster C*-algebra.
We introduce a method to define $C^*$-algebras from $C^*$-correspondences. Our construction generalizes Cuntz-Pimsner algebras, crossed products by Hilbert $C^*$-modules, and graph algebras.
The purpose of this note is to show that the construction of the C*-algebra for the space-time uncertainty relations which was introduced by Doplicher, Fredenhagen and Roberts fits comfortably into the strict deformation quantization…
In this dissertation we study the category of completely positive normal contractive maps between von Neumann algebras. It includes an extensive introduction to the basic theory of $C^*$-algebras and von Neumann algebras.
In a recent paper of the first author and Kashyap, a new class of modules over dual operator algebras is introduced. These generalize the W*-modules (that is, Hilbert C*-modules over a von Neumann algebra which satisfy an analogue of the…
This paper is concerned with derivations in algebras of (unbounded) operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$. Let $\mathcal{% A}$ be one of the algebras of measurable operators, locally measurable operators or, $\tau…
Order unit property of a positive element in a $C^{*}$-algebra is defined. It is proved that precisely projections satisfy this order theoretic property. This way, unital hereditary $C^{*}$-subalgebras of a $C^{*}$-algebra are…
Let $n$ be a natural number. Recall that a C*-algebra is said to be $n$-subhomogeneous if all its irreducible representations have dimension at most $n$. In this short note, we give various approximation properties characterising…
Utilizing the Birkhoff--James orthogonality, we present some characterizations of the norm-parallelism for elements of $\mathbb{B}(\mathscr{H})$ defined on a finite dimensional Hilbert space, elements of a Hilbert $C^*$-module over the…
An example is given of a simple, unital C*-algebra which contains an infinite and a non-zero finite projection. This C*-algebra is also an example of an infinite simple C*-algebra which is not purely infinite. A corner of this C*-algebra is…
