We give several applications of a recent theorem of the second author, which solved a conjecture of the first author with Hay and Neal, concerning contractive approximate identities; and another of Hay from the theory of noncommutative peak…
The study of operator algebras on Hilbert spaces, and C*-algebras in particular, is one of the most active areas within Functional Analysis. A natural generalization of these is to replace Hilbert spaces (which are $L^2$-spaces) with…
We study a generalisation of operator spaces modelled on $L_p$ spaces, instead of Hilbert spaces, using the notion of $p$-complete boundedness, as studied by Pisier and Le Merdy. We show that the Fig\'a-Talamanca-Herz Algebras $A_p(G)$…
We extend some inequalities for normal matrices and positive linear maps related to the Russo-Dye theorem. The results cover the case of some positive linear maps on a von Neumann algebra mapping any nonzero operator to an unbounded…
The main result is that the only non trivial closed ideal in the Banach algebra $L(L^p)$ of bounded linear operators on $L^p(0,1)$, $1\le p < \infty$, that has a left approximate identity is the ideal of compact operators. The algebra…
We show that any bounded analytic semigroup on $L^p$ (with $1<p<\infty$) whose negative generator admits a bounded $H^{\infty}$ functional calculus with respect to some angle $< \pi/2$ can be dilated into a bounded analytic semigroup…
We answer, by counterexample, several open questions concerning algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. The answers add further weight to the thesis that, for many purposes, such algebras ought to be studied in the framework of operator…
We make several contributions to our recent program investigating structural properties of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example, we make substantial contributions to the noncommutative peak interpolation program begun by…
In this article, we propose a $p$-adic analogue of complex Hilbert space and consider generalizations of some well-known theorems from functional analysis and the basic study of operators on Hilbert spaces. We compute the $K$-theory of the…
Our main theorem is in the generality of the axioms of Hilbert space, and the theory of unbounded operators. Consider two Hilbert spaces such that their intersection contains a fixed vector space D. It is of interest to make a precise…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for amenability of the Banach algebra of approximable operators on a Banach space. We further investigate the relationship between amenability of this algebra and factorization of operators,…
While the theory of matrix-weighted function spaces is well established, the majority of previous results in the infinite-dimensional operator-valued setting deal with "no go" theorems, showing the impossibility of some prospective…
If $p\in [1,+\infty]$ and $T$ is a linear operator with $p$-nuclear adjoint from a Banach space $ X$ to a Banach space $Y$ then if one of the spaces $X^*$ or $Y^{***}$ has the approximation property, then $T$ belongs to the ideal $N^p$ of…
We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…
With Charles Read we have introduced and studied a new notion of (real) positivity in operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. As motivation note that the `completely'…
We develop the concept of operators in Hilbert spaces which are similar to their adjoints via antiunitary operators, the latter being not necessarily involutive. We discuss extension theory, refined polar and singular-value decompositions,…
We study a notion analogous to the $p$-Approximation Property ($p$-AP) for Banach spaces, within the noncommutative context of operator spaces. Referred to as the $p$-Operator Approximation Property ($p$-OAP), this concept is linked to the…
The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert…
