The generalized state space of a commutative C*-algebra, denoted S_H(C(X)), is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra B(H) of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H. C*-convexity is one of several non-commutative…

We give a spectral theorem for unital representations of Hermitian commutative unital *-algebras by possibly unbounded operators in a pre-Hilbert space. A better result is known for the case in which the *-algebra is countably generated.

We generalize some facts about function algebras to operator algebras, using the `noncommutative Shilov boundary' or $C^*$-envelope first considered by Arveson. In the first part we study and characterize complete isometries between…

We show that C*-algebras generated by irreducible representations of finitely generated nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem of Rosenberg and Schochet. This result combines with previous work to show that these…

This paper deals with sheaves of differential operators on noncommutative algebras. The sheaves are defined by quotienting a the tensor algebra of vector fields (suitably deformed by a covariant derivative) to ensure zero curvature. As an…

Exotic group $C^*$-algebras are $C^*$-algebras that lie between the universal and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of a locally compact group. We consider simple Lie groups $G$ with real rank one and investigate their exotic group…

We construct a generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebras using smooth maps from the non-compact manifolds ${\cal M}=$SL$(2,\mathbb R)$ and ${\cal M}=$ SL$(2,\mathbb R)/U(1)$ to a finite-dimensional simple Lie group $G$. This construction is…

Consider an extension of finite dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras $0 \to \mathfrak{h} \to \tilde{\mathfrak{g}} \to \mathfrak{g} \to 0$ (over a field $k$ of characteristic zero) corresponding to an extension of unipotent algebraic groups $1…

We combine the notion of norming algebra introduced by Pop, Sinclair and Smith with a result of Pisier to show that if A_1 and A_2 are operator algebras, then any bounded epimorphism of A_1 onto A_2 is completely bounded provided that A_2…

Dahmen and Schmeding have obtained the result that although the smooth Lie group $G$ of real analytic diffeomorphisms $\mathbb S^{\,1.}\to\mathbb S^{\,1.}$ has a compatible analytic manifold structure, it does not make $G$ a real analytic…

We provide a representation of the $C^*$-algebra generated by multidimensional integral operators with piecewise constant kernels and discrete ergodic operators. This representation allows us to find the spectrum and to construct the…

We introduce invertible subalgebras of local operator algebras on lattices. An invertible subalgebra is defined to be one such that every local operator can be locally expressed by elements of the inveritible subalgebra and those of the…

Characterization of the *-subalgebras in the algebra of bounded operators acting on Hilbert space is presented. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a faithful representation in pre-Hilbert space of a *-algebra in terms of its…

We give a description of the essential spectrum of a large class of operators on metric measure spaces in terms of their localizations at infinity. These operators are analogues of the elliptic operators on Euclidean spaces and our main…

An involutive distribution $C$ on a smooth manifold $M$ is a Lie-algebroid acting on sections of the normal bundle $TM/C$. It is known that the Chevalley-Eilenberg complex associated to this representation of $C$ possesses the structure…

We study the natural representation of the topological full group of an ample Hausdorff groupoid in the groupoid's complex Steinberg algebra and in its full and reduced C*-algebras. We characterise precisely when this representation is…

We show that for any C*-algebra $A$, a sufficiently large Hilbert space $H$ and a unit vector $\xi \in H$, the natural application $rep(A:H) \to Q(A)$, $\pi \mapsto \langle \pi(-)\xi,\xi \rangle$ is a topological quotient, where $rep(A:H)$…

Normal elements (or multipliers) of the C* algebra of a certain class of locally compact groupoids admit a natural faithful representation as normal operators on the $L^2$-space of a dense orbit of the groupoid. We prove norm estimates on…
