The manuscript is devoted to the construction of $\Psi^\star$- algebras containing the Bergman projection on the unit ball $B_n$ of $\mathbb C^n$. We consider the $C^\star$-algebra $\mathcal{L}(L^2(B_n))$ of bounded operator acting on the…

In this article, we define operator algebras internal to a rigid C*-tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. A C*/W*-algebra object in $\mathcal{C}$ is an algebra object $\mathbf{A}$ in $\operatorname{ind}$-$\mathcal{C}$ whose category of free…

It is shown that the differential geometry of space-time, can be expressed in terms of the algebra of operators on a bundle of Hilbert spaces. The price for this is that the algebra of smooth functions on space-time has to be made…

We describe a construction of Riemannian metrics of nonnegative sectional curvature on a closed smooth nonorientable 4-manifold with fundamental group of order two that realizes a homotopy class that was not previously known to contain…

The geodesic orbit property has been studied intensively for Riemannian manifolds. Geodesic orbit spaces are homogeneous and allow simplifications of many structural questions using the Lie algebra of the isometry group. Weakly symmetric…

We characterize projections among positive norm-one elements in unital C$^*$-algebras in pure geometric terms determined by the norm of the underlying Banach space. Concretely, let $A$ be a C$^*$-algebra (or a JB$^*$-algebra) whose positive…

We describe noncommutative geometric aspects of twisted deformations, in particular of the spheres in Connes and Landi [8] and in Connes and Dubois Violette [7], by using the differential and integral calculus on these spaces that is…

Part I: The geometric algebra of space is derived by extending the real number system to include three mutually anticommuting square roots of plus one. The resulting geometric algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of complex 2x2 matrices,…

Given a C$^*$-algebra $A$, let $S(A^+)$ denote the set of those positive elements in the unit sphere of $A$. Let $H_1$, $H_2,$ $H_3$ and $H_4$ be complex Hilbert spaces, where $H_3$ and $H_4$ are infinite-dimensional and separable. In this…

In this paper, we introduce the metric operator for a compact homogeneous Finsler space, and use it to investigate the geodesic orbit property. We define the notion of standard homogeneous $(\alpha_1,\cdots,\alpha_s)$-metric which…

Let $G$ be the identity component of the isometry group for an arbitrary curved two-point homogeneous space $M$. We consider algebras of $G$-invariant differential operators on bundles of unit spheres over $M$. The generators of this…

Let $G$ be a discrete countable group, and let $\Gamma$ be an almost normal subgroup. In this paper we investigate the classification of (projective) unitary representations $\pi$ of $G$ into the unitary group of the Hilbert space…

We review some basic concepts related to convex real projective structures from the differential geometry point of view. We start by recalling a Riemannian metric which originates in the study of affine spheres using the Blaschke connection…

We give a Riemannian structure to the set $\Sigma$ of positive invertible unitized Hilbert-Schmidt operators, by means of the trace inner product. This metric makes of $\Sigma$ a nonpositively curved, simply connected and metrically…

This paper reframes Riemannian geometry as a generalized Lie algebra allowing the equations of both RG and then General Relativity to be expressed as commutation relations among fundamental operators. We begin with an Abelian Lie algebra of…

We associate with the ring $R$ of algebraic integers in a number field a C*-algebra $\cT[R]$. It is an extension of the ring C*-algebra $\cA[R]$ studied previously by the first named author in collaboration with X.Li. In contrast to…

We compactify M(atrix) theory on Riemann surfaces Sigma with genus g>1. Following [1], we construct a projective unitary representation of pi_1(Sigma) realized on L^2(H), with H the upper half-plane. As a first step we introduce a suitably…

We associate to any Riemannian symmetric space (of finite or infinite dimension) a L$^*$-algebra, under the assumption that the curvature operator has a fixed sign. L$^*$-algebras are Lie algebras with a pleasant Hilbert space structure.…

The Hilbert manifold $\Sigma$ consisting of positive invertible (unitized) Hilbert-Schmidt operators has a rich structure and geometry. The geometry of unitary orbits $\Omega\subset \Sigma$ is studied from the topological and metric…

Let $\mathscr{A}$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra and $E_n$ be the Hilbert $\mathscr{A}$-module defined as the completion of the $\mathscr{A}$-valued Schwartz function space $\mathcal{S}^\mathscr{A}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with respect to the norm…
