Let $K$ be a closed polydisc or ball in $\C^n$, and let $Y$ be a quasi projective algebraic manifold which is Zariski locally equivalent to $\C^p$, or a complement of an algebraic subvariety of codimension $\ge 2$ in such manifold. If $r$…

We translate the concept of the join of topological spaces to the language of $C^*$-algebras, replace the $C^*$-algebra of functions on the interval $[0,1]$ with evaluation maps at $0$ and $1$ by a unital $C^*$-algebra $C$ with appropriate…

If f is a bijection from C^n onto a complex manifold M, which conjugates every holomorphic map in C^n to an endomorphism in M, then we prove that f is necessarily biholomorphic or antibiholomorphic. This extends a result of A. Hinkkanen to…

The article exhibits certain relations between the injective envelope I(A) of a C*-algebra A and the von Neumann algebra generated by a representation lambda of A provided it is injective. More specifically we show that there exist positive…

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…

We study bijections between the positive cones of spaces of continuous functions vanishing at infinity that satisfy a norm additive condition. Such maps arise naturally in the study of nonlinear functional equations and norm-preserving…

Let k be an infinite field, I an infinite set, V a k-vector-space, and g:k^I\to V a k-linear map. It is shown that if dim_k(V) is not too large (under various hypotheses on card(k) and card(I), if it is finite, respectively countable,…

This paper addresses the isomorphism problem for the universal (nonself-adjoint) operator algebras generated by a row contraction subject to homogeneous polynomial relations. We find that two such algebras are isometrically isomorphic if…

Let $\mathcal {A}$ be a unital $\ast$-algebra. For $A, B\in\mathcal{A}$, define by $[A, B]_{*}=AB-BA^{\ast}$ and $A\bullet B=AB+BA^{\ast}$ the new products of $A$ and $B$. In this paper, under some mild conditions on $\mathcal {A}$, it is…

We consider modules E over a C*-algebra A which are equipped with a map into A_+ that has the formal properties of a norm. We completely determine the structure of these modules. In particular, we show that if A has no nonzero commutative…

The conformal transformations with respect to the metric defining $o(n,\mbb{C})$ give rise to a nonhomogeneous polynomial representation of $o(n+2,\mbb{C})$. Using Shen's technique of mixed product, we generalize the above representation to…

We prove a covariant version of the KSGNS (Kasparov, Stinespring, Gel'fand,Naimark,Segal) construction for completely positive linear maps between locally $C^{*}$-algebras. As an application of this construction, we show that a covariant…

Let ${\mathcal M}$ be a von Neumann algebra without central summands of type $I_1$ and $\xi\in{\mathbb C}$ a scalar. It is shown that an additive map $L$ on $\mathcal M$ satisfies $L(AB-\xi BA)=L(A)B-\xi BL(A)+L(B)A-\xi AL(B)$ whenever…
