We consider a "twisted" noncommutative join procedure for unital $C^*$-algebras which admit actions by a compact abelian group $G$ and its discrete abelian dual $\Gamma$, so that we may investigate an analogue of Baum-Dabrowski-Hajac…

We prove that the class of trilinear multiplier forms with singularity over a one dimensional subspace, including the bilinear Hilbert transform, admit bounded $L^p$-extension to triples of intermediate $\mathrm{UMD}$ spaces. No other…

We prove that every JB$^*$-triple $E$ (in particular, every $C^*$-algebra) satisfying the Daugavet property also satisfies the stronger polynomial Daugavet property, that is, every weakly compact polynomial $P\colon E \longrightarrow E$…

We construct some separable infinite dimensional homogeneous Hilbertian operator spaces which generalize the row and column spaces R and C. We show that separable infinite-dimensional Hilbertian JC*-triples are completely isometric to an…

Let $C^*(\cls)$ be the $C^*$ algebra generated by an operator system $\cls$ i.e. a unital $*$-closed subspace of a unital $C^*$ algebra $\cla$. We prove that any complete order isomorphism $\cli:\cls \raro \cls'$ between two such operator…

We initiate a systematic study of triplets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). We show that in $\mathbb{C}^d$ each MUB-triplet is characterized by a $d\times d\times d$ object that we call a Hadamard cube. We describe the basic properties of…

We prove that the vast majority of JC*-triples satisfy the condition of universal reversibility. Our characterisation is that a JC*-triple is universally reversible if and only if it has no triple homomorphisms onto Hilbert spaces of…

Assume that A is a unital separable simple C*-algebra with real rank zero, stable rank one, strict comparison of projections, and that its tracial simplex T(A) has a finite number of extremal points. We prove that every self-adjoint element…

We prove that every surjective unital linear mapping which preserves invertible elements from a Banach algebra onto a C*-algebra carrying a faithful tracial state is a Jordan homomorphism thus generalising Aupetit's 1998 result for finite…

We describe representations of groupoid C*-algebras on Hilbert modules over arbitrary C*-algebras by a universal property. For Hilbert space representations, our universal property is equivalent to Renault's Integration-Disintegration…

We prove that von Neumann algebras and separable nuclear $C^*$-algebras are stable for the Banach-Mazur cb-distance. A technical step is to show that unital almost completely isometric maps between $C^*$-algebras are almost multiplicative…

K.\ S.\ Lau had shown that a reflexive Banach space has the Mazur Intersection Property (MIP) if and only if every closed bounded convex set is the closed convex hull of its farthest points. In this work, we show that in general this latter…

Tingley's problem asks whether every surjective isometry between the unit spheres of two Banach spaces admits an extension to a real linear surjective isometry between the whole spaces. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to…

Given a full right-Hilbert C*-module $\mathbf{X}$ over a C*-algebra $A$, the set $\mathbb{K}_{A}(\mathbf{X})$ of $A$-compact operators on $\mathbf{X}$ is the (up to isomorphism) unique C*-algebra that is strongly Morita equivalent to the…

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.…

Let B be any Lp space for p in (1,infty) or any Banach space isomorphic to a Hilbert space, and k be a nonnegative integer. We show that if n is at least 4, then the universal lattice Gamma =SL_n (Z[x1,...,xk]) has property (F_B) in the…

We introduce, investigate and compare several order type relations on the set of tripotents in a JB$^*$-triple. The main two relations we address are $\le_h$ and $\le_n$. We say that $u\le_h e$ (or $u\le_n e$) if $u$ is a self-adjoint (or…

Let $\mathfrak{J}$ be a JB$^*$-algebra with no quotients isomorphic to $S_2(\mathbb{C})$. Let $\mu$ be a local quasi-linear Jordan functional on $\mathfrak{J}_{sa}$. We show that $\mu$ is a linear functional on $\mathfrak{J}_{sa}$ if and…

For a semisimple unital Banach algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{C}$, and elements $a,b\in A,$ we show that the similarity orbits, $\mathrm{orb}(a)$ and $\mathrm{orb}(b)$, over the principal component of the invertible group of $A$ commute…

We show that if $T$ is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the invertible group $A^{-1}$ of a unital Banach algebra $A$ onto an open subgroup of the invertible group $B^{-1}$ of a unital Banach algebra $B$, then $T$ is…
