We study two notions of largeness for closed submodules of Hilbert C*-modules: essentiality and topological essentiality. While the analogous properties are known to be equivalent for closed two-sided ideals of C*-algebras, the one-sided…

Let A be a ring of dimension d and let P be a projective A-module of rank d. We prove that if for every finite extension R of A, R^d is cancellative, then P is cancellative. This gives an alternate proof of Bhatwadekar's result: every…

This paper studies the problems of embedding and isomorphism for countably generated Hilbert C*-modules over commutative C*-algebras. When the fibre dimensions differ sufficiently, relative to the dimension of the spectrum, we show that…

It is conjectured that for fixed $A$, $r \ge 1$, and $d \ge 1$, there is a uniform bound on the size of the torsion submodule of a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $r$ over a degree $d$ extension $L$ of the fraction field $K$ of $A$. We verify…

We introduce and study some new uniform structures for Hilbert $C^*$-modules over an algebra $A$. In particular, we prove that in some cases they have the same totally bounded sets. To define one of them, we introduce a new class of…

In this note we prove that the set of all uniformly continuous units on a product system over a C* algebra B can be endowed with the structure of left right B - B Hilbert module after identifying similar units by the suitable equivalence…

Let $\kappa : \mathbb D \times \mathbb D \to \mathbb C$ be a diagonal positive definite kernel and let $\mathscr H_{\kappa}$ denote the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the open unit disc $\mathbb D$.…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Let $E$ and $F$ be Hilbert $A$-modules with $E$ being full. Suppose that $\theta : E\to F$ is a linear map preserving orthogonality, i.e., $<\theta(x), \theta(y) > = 0$ whenever $<x, y > = 0$. We show in this…

We introduce a way of regarding Hilbert von Neumann modules as spaces of operators between Hilbert space, not unlike [Skei], but in an apparently much simpler manner and involving far less machinery. We verify that our definition is…

We present a general approach to a modular frame theory in C*-algebras and Hilbert C*-modules. The investigations rely on the idea of geometric dilation to standard Hilbert C*-modules over unital C*-algebras that possess orthonormal Hilbert…

Let $\cl{M}$ be a Hilbert module of holomorphic functions over a natural function algebra $\mathcal{A}(\Omega)$, where $\Omega \subseteq \bb{C}^m$ is a bounded domain. Let $\cl{M}_0\subseteq \cl{M}$ be the submodule of functions vanishing…

A short proof of the "Rigidity theorem" using the sheaf theoretic model for Hilbert modules over polynomial rings is given. The joint kernel for a large class of submodules is described. The completion $[\mathcal I]$ of a homogeneous…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{C}^m$ be an open, connected and bounded set and $\mathcal{A}(\Omega)$ be a function algebra of holomorphic functions on $\Omega$. In this article we study quotient Hilbert modules obtained from submodules,…

In this paper we construct a class of homogeneous Hilbert modules over the disc algebra $\mathcal{A}(\mathbb D)$ as quotients of certain natural modules over the function algebra $\mathcal{A}(\mathbb D^2)$. These quotient modules are…

Commutative rings in which every prime ideal is the intersection of maximal ideals are called Hilbert (or Jacobson) rings. We propose to define classical Hilbert modules by the property that {\it classical prime} submodules are the…

Let $\mathcal{W}(b)$ be a class of free Lie conformal algebras of rank $2$ with $\mathbb{C}[\partial]$-basis ${L,H}$ and relations \begin{eqnarray*} [L_\lambda L]=(\partial+2\lambda)L,\ \ [L_\lambda H]=\big(\partial+(1-b)\lambda\big)H, \ \…

We examine Hilbert bimodules which possess a (generally unbounded) involution. Topics considered include a linking algebra representation, duality, locality, and the role of these bimodules in noncommutative differential geometry.

Let R be a ring and G a group. An R-module A is said to be artinian-by-(finite rank) if TorR(A) is artinian and A/TorR(A) has finite R-rank. The authors study ZG-modules A such that A/CA(H) is artinian-by-(finite rank) (as a Z-module) for…

We consider several natural ways of expressing the idea that a one-sided ideal in a C*-algebra (or a submodule in a Hilbert C*-module) is large, and show that they differ, unlike the case of two-sided ideals in C*-algebras. We then show how…
