Building on results of Haagerup and Schultz, we decompose an arbitrary operator in a diffuse, finite von Neumann algebra into the sum of a normal operator and an s.o.t.-quasinilpotent operator. We also prove an analogue of Weyl's inequality…

Since Voiculescu introduced his bi-free probability theory in 2013, the major development of the theory has been on its combinatorial side; in particular, on the combinatorics of bi-free cumulants and its application to the bi-free…

Starting from Kirchberg's theorems announced in 1994, namely O_2 tensor A is isomorphic to O_2 for separable unital nuclear simple A and O_infinity tensor A is isomorphic to A if in addition A is purely infinite, we prove that…

We comment on recent results in the field of information based complexity, which state (in a number of different settings), that approximation of infinitely differentiable functions is intractable and suffers from the curse of…

We prove an approximation theorem on a class of domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ on which the $\overline{\partial}$-problem is solvable in $L^{\infty}$. Furthermore, as a corollary, we obtain a version of the Axler-\v{C}u\v{c}kovi\'c-Rao Theorem…

For a normal measurable operator $a$ affiliated with a von Neumann factor $\mathcal{M}$ we show: If $\mathcal{M}$ is infinite, then there is $\lambda_0\in \mathbb{C}$ so that for $\varepsilon>0$ there are…

For $1<p<\infty$, we prove (i) a version of Voiculescu's absorption theorem for operators on $l^{p}$, (ii) that $\mathrm{Ext}_{\sim,s}(\mathcal{A},K(l^{p}))$ is a group for certain Banach algebra $\mathcal{A}$, and (iii) homotopy invariance…

Nuclear $C^*$-algebras having a system of completely positive approximations formed with convex combinations of a uniformly bounded number of order zero summands are shown to be approximately finite dimensional.

Motivated by the notions of $k$-extendability and complete extendability of the state of a finite level quantum system as described by Doherty et al (Phys. Rev. A, 69:022308), we introduce parallel definitions in the context of Gaussian…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a separable nuclear C*-algebra, and let $\mathcal{M}$ be a semifinite von Neumann factor with separable predual. Let $\phi, \psi: \mathcal{A} \rightarrow \mathcal{M}$ be essential trivial extensions with $\phi(a) -…

Let $A$ be a unital operator algebra. Let us assume that every {\it bounded\/} unital homomorphism $u\colon \ A\to B(H)$ is similar to a {\it contractive\/} one. Let $\text{\rm Sim}(u) = \inf\{\|S\|\, \|S^{-1}\|\}$ where the infimum runs…

In this paper we consider a fragment of the first-order theory of the real numbers that includes systems of equations of continuous functions in bounded domains, and for which all functions are computable in the sense that it is possible to…

We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…

In [10], Halmos proved an interesting result that the set of irreducible operators is dense in $\mathcal B(\mathcal H)$ in the sense of Hilbert-Schmidt approximation. In a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ with separable predual, an operator…

In his recent work, Voiculescu generalized his remarkable formula for the quasicentral modulus of a commuting $n$-tuple of hermitian operators with respect to the $(n,1)$-Lorentz ideal to the case where its spectrum is contained in a…

D. Voiculescu [2] proved that a standard family of independent random unitary k by k matrices and a constant k by k unitary matrix is asymtotically free as k goes to infinity. This result was a key ingredient in Voiculescu's proof [3] that…

The present article is a review of recent developments concerning the notion of F{\o}lner sequences both in operator theory and operator algebras. We also give a new direct proof that any essentially normal operator has an increasing…

A density operator of a bipartite quantum system is called robustly separable if it has a neighborhood of separable operators. Given a bipartite density matrix, its property to be robustly separable is reduced, using the continuous ensemble…

A simple and very accurate method to approximate a function with a finite number of discontinuities is presented. This method relies on hyperbolic tangent functions of rational arguments as connecting functions at the discontinuities, each…

Let $A$ be a unital separable amenable \CA and $C$ be a unital \CA with certain infinite property. We show that two full monomorphisms $h_1, h_2: A\to C$ are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if $[h_1]=[h_2]$ in $KL(A,C).$ Let…
