Given two C*-algebras A and B, abstract A-B bimodules that can be isometrically represented as operator bimodules are characterised in terms of their norm. Various properties of such bimodules are given. Their theory is very similar to…

We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, matrix-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive K-theory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, kk_*(A,B),…

Commutative Hilbertian Frobenius algebras are those commutative semi-group objects in the monoidal category of Hilbert spaces, for which the Hilbert adjoint of the multiplication satisfies the Frobenius compatibility relation, that is, this…

Given a Hilbert module E over a C*-algebra A, we show that the collection of all bounded A-module operators acting on E forms the reflexive closure for the algebra of the adjointable operators. We also make an observation regarding the…

Let G be a discrete group and $\Gamma$ an almost normal subgroup. The operation of cosets concatanation extended by linearity gives rise to an operator system that is embeddable in a natural C* algebra. The Hecke algebra naturally embeds as…

E(2) is studied as the automorphism group of the Heisenberg algebra H. The basis in the Hilbert space K of functions on H on which the unitary irreducible representations of the group are realized is explicitely constructed. The addition…

It is shown that every linear surjective isometry between two right, full, Hilbert C*-modules is a sum of two maps : a (bi-) module map (which is completely isometric and preserves the inner product) and a map that reverses the (bi-) module…

If H is a quasi-Hopf algebra and B is a right H-comodule algebra such that there exists v:H\to B a morphism of right H-comodule algebras, we prove that there exists a left H-module algebra A such that B\simeq A# H. The main difference…

The Hilbert Series (HS) of the moduli space of two G instantons on C^2, where G is a simple gauge group, is studied in detail. For a given G, the moduli space is a singular hyperKahler cone with a symmetry group U(2) \times G, where U(2) is…

In Rev. Math. Phys. 4 (1997) 785 we study Hilbert-C* systems {F,G} where the fixed point algebra A has nontrivial center Z and where A'\cap F=Z is satisfied. The corresponding category of all canonical endomorphisms of A contains…

We present a generalization of H\"older duality to algebra-valued pairings via $L^p$-modules. H\"older duality states that if $p \in (1, \infty)$ and $p^{\prime}$ are conjugate exponents, then the dual space of $L^p(\mu)$ is isometrically…

A $\Sigma^*$-algebra is a concrete $C^*$-algebra that is sequentially closed in the weak operator topology. We study an appropriate class of $C^*$-modules over $\Sigma^*$-algebras analogous to the class of $W^*$-modules (selfdual…

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the duality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are…

It is known that the classical Hilbert--Schmidt theorem can be generalized to the case of compact operators in Hilbert $A$-modules $H_A^*$ over a $W^*$-algebra of finite type, i.e. compact operators in $H_A^*$ under slight restrictions can…

Suppose q is a complex number of modulus one and different from 1,-1. Let O(R^2_q) be the *-algebra with two hermitean generators x and y satisfying the relation xy=qyx. Using operator representations of the *-algebra O(R^2_q) on Hilbert…

The notion of a semitransitive binary action of a group $G$ on a topological space is introduced. A duality theorem is proved, establishing a bijective correspondence between semitransitive distributive binary $G$-spaces and topological…

In this paper, we study contragredient duals and invariant bilinear forms for modular vertex algebras (in characteristic $p$). We first introduce a bialgebra $\mathcal{H}$ and we then introduce a notion of $\mathcal{H}$-module vertex…

A general theorem due to Howe of dual action of a classical group and a certain non-associative algebra on a space of symmetric or alternating tensors is reformulated in a setting of second quantization, and familiar examples in atomic and…

Based on a pairing of two regular multiplier Hopf algebras $A$ and $B$, Heisenberg double $\mathscr{H}$ is the smash product $A \# B$ with respect to the left regular action of $B$ on $A$. Let $\mathscr{D}=A\bowtie B$ be the Drinfel'd…

For an algebraic compact quantum group $H$ we establish a bijection between the set of right coideal $*$-subalgebras $A\to H$ and that of left module quotient $*$-coalgebras $H\to C$. It turns out that the inclusion $A\to H$ always splits…
