A $*$-bimodule for a unital $*$-algebra $A$ is an $A$-bimodule $X$ which is a vector space with involution $x\mapsto x^+$ satisfying $(a\cdot x\cdot b)^+=b^+\cdot x^+\cdot b^+$ for $x\in X$ and $a,b\in A$. An algebraic model for…

We construct some inverse-closed algebras of bounded integral operators with operator-valued kernels, acting in spaces of vector-valued functions on locally compact groups. To this end we make systematic use of covariance algebras…

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…

Given a separable unital C*algebra $C$, let $E_n$ denote the Hilbert module equal to the completion of the Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing smooth functions from $R^n$ to $C$ equipped with the $C$-valued inner product given by…

We find first structural background information about the reasons that for any C*-algebra $A$ and any two Hilbert $A$-modules $M \subseteq N$ with $M^\perp=\{0\}$, every bounded $A$-linear map $N \to A$ (or $N \to N)$ vanishing on $M$ might…

We study operator algebras arising from monomial ideals in the ring of polynomials in noncommuting variables, through the apparatus of subproduct systems and C*-correspondences. We provide a full comparison amongst the related operator…

We provide a complete description of the order isomorphisms between the self-adjoint parts of $C^*$-algebras. Furthermore, we characterize such isomorphisms between general operator intervals in $AW^*$-algebras. For the description, we use…

We consider positive semidefinite kernels valued in the $*$-algebra of adjointable operators on a VE-space (Vector Euclidean space) and that are invariant under actions of $*$-semigroups. A rather general dilation theorem is stated and…

We study isometric representations of product systems of correspondences over the semigroup $\mathbb{N}^k$ which are minimal dilations of finite dimensional, fully coisometric representations. We show the existence of a unique minimal…

Let $\mathcal A$ be a unital algebra equipped with an involution $(\cdot)^\dagger$, and suppose that the multiplicative set $\mathcal S\subseteq \mathcal A$ generated by the elements of the form $1 + a^\dagger a$ satisfies the Ore…

We say that a contractive Hilbert space operator is universal if there is a natural surjection from its generated C*-algebra to the C*-algebra generated by any other contraction. A universal contraction may be irreducible or a direct sum of…

Given C$^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ acting cyclically on Hilbert spaces $\h$ and $\k$, respectively, we characterize completely isometric $A,B$-bimodule maps from $\bkh$ into operator $A,B$-bimodules. We determine cogenerators in some classes…

We associate to any Riemannian symmetric space (of finite or infinite dimension) a L$^*$-algebra, under the assumption that the curvature operator has a fixed sign. L$^*$-algebras are Lie algebras with a pleasant Hilbert space structure.…

We introduce the notion of eigenstate of an operator in an abstract C*-algebra, and prove several properties. Most significantly, if the operator is self-adjoint, then every element of its spectrum has a corresponding eigenstate.

This paper is a continuation of the program started by Ruan in 2003, of developing real operator space theory. In particular, we develop the theory of real operator algebras. We also show among other things that the injective envelope,…

We present other examples illustrating the operator-theoretic approach to invariant integrals on quantum homogeneous spaces developed by Kuersten and the second author. The quantum spaces are chosen such that their coordinate algebras do…

We study families of self-adjoint operators with given spectra whose sum is a scalar operator. Such families are $*$-representations of certain algebras which can be described in terms of graphs and positive functions on them. The main…

We study the theory of a Hilbert space H as a module for a unital C*-algebra A from the point of view of continuous logic. We give an explicit axiomatization for this theory and describe the structure of all the representations which are…

It is well known that in the commutative case, i.e. for $A=C(X)$ being a commutative C*-algebra, compact selfadjoint operators acting on the Hilbert C*-module $H_A$ (= continuous families of such operators $K(x)$, $x\in X$) can be…

A semiregular operator on a Hilbert C^*-module, or equivalently, on the C^*-algebra of `compact' operators on it, is a closable densely defined operator whose adjoint is also densely defined. It is shown that for operators on extensions of…
