We give a spectral theorem for unital representations of Hermitian commutative unital *-algebras by possibly unbounded operators in a pre-Hilbert space. A better result is known for the case in which the *-algebra is countably generated.

Let G be a locally compact group, M(G) denote its measure algebra and L^1(G) denote its group algebra. Also, let pi:G->U(H) be a strongly continuous unitary representation, and let CB^{sigma}(B(H)) be the space of normal completely bounded…

A subalgebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ is said to be projection compressible if $P\mathcal{A}P$ is an algebra for all orthogonal projections $P\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Likewise, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be idempotent…

Let Q be a finite quiver without oriented cycles, and let $\Lambda$ be the associated preprojective algebra. To each terminal representation M of Q (these are certain preinjective representations), we attach a natural subcategory $C_M$ of…

All operator algebras have (not necessarily irreducible) boundary representations. A unital operator algebra has enough such boundary representations to generate its C*-envelope.

In this paper we give a decomposition of a state on a $C^*$-algebra into a family of pure states and a decomposition of a representation into a family of irreducible representation. Then, we use it to solve the following three problems…

In this article I study a number of topological and algebraic dimension type properties of simple C*-algebras and their interplay. In particular, a simple C*-algebra is defined to be (tracially) (m,\bar{m})-pure, if it has (strong tracial)…

We prove that any separable exact C*-algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Cuntz algebra ${\cal O}_2.$ We further prove that if $A$ is a simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra, then ${\cal O}_2 \otimes A \cong {\cal O}_2,$ and…

An algebra $\mathcal{A}$ of $n\times n$ complex matrices is said to be \textit{idempotent compressible} if $E\mathcal{A}E$ is an algebra for all idempotents $E\in\mathbb{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$. Analogously, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be…

Let $\phi:M_n\to B(H)$ be an injective, completely positive contraction with $\V\phi^{-1}:\phi(M_n)\to M_n\V_{cb}\leq1+\delta(\epsilon).$ We show that if either (i) $\phi(M_n)$ is faithful modulo the compact operators or (ii) $\phi(M_n)$…

We consider $C^*$-algebra $Isom_{q_{ij}}$ generated by $n$ isometries $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ satisfying the relations $a_i^* a_j = q_{ij} a_j a_i^*$ with $\max |q_{ij}| < 1$. This $C^*$-algebra is shown to be nuclear. We prove that the Fock…

The Weyl algebra,- the usual C*-algebra employed to model the canonical commutation relations (CCRs), has a well-known defect in that it has a large number of representations which are not regular and these cannot model physical fields.…

A theorem of Glimm states that representation theory of an NGCR C*-algebra is always intractable, and the Cuntz algebra O_N is a case in point. The equivalence classes of irreducible representations under unitary equivalence cannot be…

Let A be a unital simple separable C*-algebra with strict comparison of positive elements. We prove that the Cuntz semigroup of A is recovered functorially from the Murray-von Neumann semigroup and the tracial state space T(A) whenever the…

In the context of deformation quantization, there exist various procedures to deal with the quantization of a reduced space M_red. We shall be concerned here mainly with the classical Marsden-Weinstein reduction, assuming that we have a…

We combine the notion of norming algebra introduced by Pop, Sinclair and Smith with a result of Pisier to show that if A_1 and A_2 are operator algebras, then any bounded epimorphism of A_1 onto A_2 is completely bounded provided that A_2…

We introduce the notion of confined subalgebras in the context of the group von Neumann algebra. We also define Uniformly Recurrent States -- an operator-algebraic analog of Uniformly Recurrent Subgroups. Using this framework, we show that…

Let g be a Banach Lie algebra and \tau : g ---> g an involution. Write g=h+q for the eigenspace decomposition of g with respect to \tau and g^c := h+iq for the dual Lie algebra. In this article we show the integrability of two types of…

A subset $\mathcal{G}$ generating a $C^*$-algebra $A$ is said to be hyperrigid if for every faithful nondegenerate $*$-representation $A\subseteq B(H)$ and a sequence $\phi_n:B(H) \to B(H)$ of unital completely positive maps, we have that…

In this work, we present an algorithmic treatment of the representation theory of the algebra of partially transposed permutation operators, denoted by $\mathcal{A}^d_{p,p}$, which is a matrix representation of the abstract walled Brauer…
