The notion of completely positive invariant conjugate-bilinear map in a partial *-algebra is introduced and a generalized Stinespring theorem is proven. Applications to the existence of integrable extensions of *-representations of…

We consider two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras whose small $C^*$-algebras have approximate units of the large $C^*$-algebras and their two spaces of all bounded bimodule linear maps. We suppose that the two inclusions of $C^*$-algebras are…

In this note we extend the spectral theorem for bimodules to the higher rank graph C*-algebra context. Under the assumption that the graph is row finite and has no sources, we show that a bimodule over a natural abelian subalgebra is…

The first half of this mostly expository note reviews some notions of joint spectrum of linear operators, and it gives a new characterization of amenable groups in terms of projective spectrum. The second half revisits an application of…

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…

Joint spectra of tuples of operators are subsets in complex projective space. The corresponding tuple of operators can be viewed as an infinite dimensional analog of a determinantal representation of the joint spectrum. We investigate the…

We study variants of the Dixmier property that apply to elements of a unital C*-algebra, rather than to the C*-algebra itself. By a Dixmier element in a C*-algebra we understand one that can be averaged into a central element by means of a…

We show that smooth maps are $C^1$-dense among $C^1$ volume preserving maps.

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{B}$ be JBW$^*$-algebras whose sets of unitaries are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ and $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{B})$, respectively. We show that $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{A})$ is closed for Jordan…

Let $\mathcal{A}_1$ and $\mathcal{A}_2$ be standard operator algebras on complex Banach spaces $X_1$ and $X_2$, respectively. For $k\geq2$, let $(i_1,...,i_m)$ be a sequence with terms chosen from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$, and assume that at least…

We study non-linear surjective mappings on subsets of ${\cal M}_n(F)$, which preserve the zeros of some fixed polynomials in noncommuting variables. Keywords: Matrix algebra, Multilinear polynomials, Preservers.

We show that important structural properties of C*-algebras and the multiplicity numbers of representations are preserved under Morita equivalence.

We consider a construction of C*-algebras from continuous piecewise monotone maps on the circle which generalizes the crossed product construction for homeomorphisms and more generally the construction of Renault, Deaconu and…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal{B}$ be unital finite-dimensional complex algebras, each equipped with the unique Hausdorff vector topology. Denote by $\mathrm{Max}(\mathcal{A})=\{\mathcal{M}_1, \ldots, \mathcal{M}_p\}$ and…

We study the *-double functor between the categories of associative and involutive algebras. It is proved that an associative algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of a $C\sp*$-algebra if and only if its *-double is *-isomorphic to a…

We construct commutative algebra spectra that represent the operator $K$-theory of $C^*$-algebras, which are algebras over the commutative ring spectra that represent topological $K$-theory. The spectral multiplicative structure introduces…

Jordan isomorphisms of rings are defined by two equations. The first one is the equation of additivity while the second one concerns multiplicativity with respect to the so-called Jordan product. In this paper we present results showing…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a $*$-algebra and $\mathcal{M}$ be a $*$-$\mathcal A$-bimodule, we study the local properties of $*$-derivations and $*$-Jordan derivations from $\mathcal{A}$ into $\mathcal{M}$ under the following orthogonality…

Spielberg's construction of C*-algebras from left cancellative small categories is a common generalization for most C*-algebras one would consider to come from ``combinatorial data,'' including graph and $k$-graph C*-algebras, Li's…

Jordan operator algebras are norm-closed spaces of operators on a Hilbert space with $a^2 \in A$ for all $a \in A$. We study noncommutative topology, noncommutative peak sets and peak interpolation, and hereditary subalgebras of Jordan…
