Let $A \subset C$ and $B \subset D$ be unital inclusions of unital $C^*$-algebras. Let ${}_A \mathbf{B}_A (C, A)$ (resp. ${}_B \mathbf{B}_B (D, B)$) be the space of all bounded $A$-bimodule (resp. $B$-bimodule) linear maps from $C$ (resp.…

We describe the complete set of pairwise non-isomorphic irreducible modules S(a) over the algebra R given by the defining relation xy-yx=yy, and the rule how they could be glued to indecomposables. Namely, we show that Ext_k^1(S(a),S(b))=0,…

Let H and K be two complex Hilbert spaces and B(H) be the algebra of bounded linear operators from H into itself. The main purpose in this paper is to obtain a characterization of bijective maps $\Phi$ : B(H) $\rightarrow$ B(K) satisfying…

Although algebraic matroids were discovered in the 1930s, interest in them was largely dormant until their recent use in applications of algebraic geometry. Because nonlinear algebra is computationally challenging, it is easier to work with…

Let $A$ be a unital algebra over a field $F$ with $\operatorname*{char} (F)\neq2$. In this paper we introduce a new concept of a generalized Jordan derivation, covering Jordan centralizers and Jordan derivations, as follows: a linear map…

Let $\A$ be a Banach algebra with unity $\textbf{1}$ and $ \M $ be a unital Banach left $ \A $-module. let $ \delta: \A \rightarrow \M$ be a continuous linear map with the property that \[ a,b\in \A, \quad ab+ba=z \Rightarrow…

We compute $\delta$-derivations of simple Jordan algebras with values in irreducible bimodules. They turn out to be either ordinary derivations ($\delta = 1$), or scalar multiples of the identity map ($\delta = \frac 12$). This can be…

We study the structure of certain classes of homologically trivial locally C*-algebras. These include algebras with projective irreducible Hermitian A-modules, biprojective algebras, and superbiprojective algebras. We prove that, if A is a…

We reconsider the theory of Lagrange interpolation polynomials with multiple interpolation points and apply it to linear algebra. For instance, $A$ be a linear operator satisfying a degree $n$ polynomial equation $P(A)=0$. One can see that…

We prove that the multiplication map L^a(M)\otimes_M L^b(M)\to L^{a+b}(M) is an isometric isomorphism of (quasi)Banach M-M-bimodules. Here L^a(M)=L_{1/a}(M) is the noncommutative L_p-space of an arbitrary von Neumann algebra M and \otimes_M…

Consider a unital C*-algebra A, a von Neumann algebra M, a unital sub-C*-algebra C of A and a unital *-homomorphism $\pi$ from C to M. Let u: A --> M be a decomposable map (i.e. a linear combination of completely positive maps) which is a…

We classify bijective maps which strongly preserve Birkhoff-James orthogonality on a finite-dimensional complex $C^*$-algebra. It is shown that those maps are close to being real-linear isometries whose structure is also determined.

A special class of Jordan algebras over a field $F$ of characteristic zero is considered. Such an algebra consists of an $r$-dimensional subspace of the vector space of all square matrices of a fixed order $n$ over $F$. It contains the…

We characterize all $f$-algebra products on AM-spaces by constructing a canonical AM-space $W_X$ associated to each AM-space $X$, such that the $f$-algebra products on $X$ correspond bijectively to the positive cone $(W_X)_+$. This…

Let $E$ and $F$ be two Hilbert $C^*$-modules over $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, respectively. Let $T$ be a surjective linear isometry from $E$ onto $F$ and $\varphi$ a map from $A$ into $B$. We will prove in this paper that if the…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

We study linear spaces of symmetric matrices whose reciprocal is also a linear space. These are Jordan algebras. We classify such algebras in low dimensions, and we study the associated Jordan loci in the Grassmannian.

A basic problem for any class of nonassociative algebras is to determine the polynomial identities satisfied by the symmetrization and the skew-symmetrization of the original product. We consider the symmetrization of the product in the…

In the present paper we obtain an intrinsic characterization of real locally C*-algebras (projective limits of projective families of real C*-algebras) among complete real lmc *-algebras, and of locally JB-algebras (projective limits of…

For an action of a finite group on a C*-algebra, we present some conditions under which properties of the C*-algebra pass to the crossed product or the fixed point algebra. We mostly consider the ideal property, the projection property,…
