The Banach space $L^p(X,\mu)$, for $X$ a compact Hausdorff measure space, is considered as a special kind of quasi *-algebra (called CQ*-algebra) over the C*-algebra $C(X)$ of continuous functions on $X$. It is shown that, for $p \geq 2$,…

We study linear and algebraic structures in sets of bounded holomorphic functions on the ball which have large cluster sets at every possible point (i.e., every point on the sphere in several complex variables and every point of the closed…

This book treats: - spectral theory of Banach *-algebras, - basic representation theory of normed *-algebras, - spectral theory of representations of commutative *-algebras. A novel feature of the book is the construction of the enveloping…

A fundamental open question asking whether all real-valued strongly quasiconvex functions defined on $\mathbb R^n$ are necessarily continuous, akin to their convex counterparts, is answered in detail in this paper. Among other things, we…

In this work a linearly constrained minimization of a positive semidefinite quadratic functional is examined. Our results are concerning infinite dimensional real Hilbert spaces, with a singular positive operator related to the functional,…

We introduce and study some new uniform structures for Hilbert $C^*$-modules over an algebra $A$. In particular, we prove that in some cases they have the same totally bounded sets. To define one of them, we introduce a new class of…

We prove that the quasi-homogenous symbols on the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n(\mathbb{C})$ yield commutative algebras of Toeplitz operators on all weighted Bergman spaces, thus extending to this compact case known results for the unit…

Let $H$ be an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space, $B(H)$ the $C^*$-algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H,$ $U(B(H))$ the unitary group of $B(H)$ and ${\cal K}\subset B(H)$ the ideal of compact operators. Let $G$ be a…

All most all the function spaces over real or complex domains and spaces of sequences, that arise in practice as examples of normed complete linear spaces (Banach spaces), are reflexive. These Banach spaces are dual to their respective…

Suppose B is the unital algebra consisting of the algebraic product of full matrix algebras over an index set X. A bijection is set up between the equivalence classes of irreducible representations of B as operators on a Banach space and…

We develop a new approach for the construction of the Glauber dynamics in continuum. Existence of the corresponding strongly continuous contraction semigroup in a proper Banach space is shown. Additionally we present the finite- and…

We generalise the Riesz representation theorems for positive linear functionals on $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm c}(X)$ and $\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm 0}(X)$, where $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space, to positive linear operators from these spaces…

We study two classes of extension problems, and their interconnections: (i) Extension of positive definite (p.d.) continuous functions defined on subsets in locally compact groups $G$; (ii) In case of Lie groups, representations of the…

Two new notions of equivalence for representations of a Toeplitz algebra $\mathcal{E}_n$, $n<\infty$, on a common Hilbert space are defined. Our main results apply to $C^*$-dynamics and the conjugacy of certain $*$-endomorphisms. One…

Using the notion of complete compactness introduced by H. Saar, we define completely almost periodic functionals on completely contractive Banach algebras. We show that, if $(M,\Gamma)$ is a Hopf--von Neumann algebra with $M$ injective,…

A generalization of the GNS-representation is investigated that represents partial ^*-algebras as systems of operators acting on a partial inner product space (PIP-space). It is based on possibly indefinite B-weights which are closely…

We consider a version of a famous open problem formulated by Kadison, asking whether bounded representations of operator algebras are automatically completely bounded. We investigate this question in the context of amenable operator…

We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…

A remarkable theorem of R. C. James is the following: suppose that $X$ is a Banach space and $C \subseteq X$ is a norm bounded, closed and convex set such that every linear functional $x^* \in X^*$ attains its supremum on $C$; then $C$ is a…

We introduce a property of Banach spaces called uniform convex-transitivity, which falls between almost transitivity and convex-transitivity. We will provide examples of uniformly convex-transitive spaces. This property behaves nicely in…
