Let $\mathcal M$ be a separable factor. An operator $T$ in $\mathcal{M}$ is said to be irreducible in $\mathcal{M}$ if the von Neumann algebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ is an irreducible subfactor of $\mathcal{M}$, i.e.,…

Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these…

Let $\lambda$ be a complex number in the closed unit disc $\overline{\Bbb D}$, and $\cal H$ be a separable Hilbert space with the orthonormal basis, say, ${\cal E}=\{e_n:n=0,1,2,\cdots\}$. A bounded operator $T$ on $\cal H$ is called a…

Let $\Delta$ be a closed, cocompact subgroup of $G \times \widehat{G}$, where $G$ is a second countable, locally compact abelian group. Using localization of Hilbert $C^*$-modules, we show that the Heisenberg module…

Let T:=[T_1,..., T_n] be an n-tuple of operators on a Hilbert space such that T is a completely non-coisometric row contraction. We establish the existence of a "one-to-one" correspondence between the joint invariant subspaces under…

This paper is the first in a series of papers developing a functional-analytic theory of vertex (operator) algebras and their representations. For an arbitrary Z-graded finitely-generated vertex algebra (V, Y, 1) satisfying the standard…

On a separable C*-algebra A every (completely) bounded map, which preserves closed two sided ideals, can be approximated uniformly by elementary operators if and only if A is a finite direct sum of C*-algebras of continuous sections…

Let F be a field, let G be its absolute Galois group, and let R(G, k) be the representation ring of G over a suitable field k. In this preprint we construct a ring homomorphism from the mod 2 Milnor K-theory k_*(F) to the graded ring gr…

Characterization of the *-subalgebras in the algebra of bounded operators acting on Hilbert space is presented. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a faithful representation in pre-Hilbert space of a *-algebra in terms of its…

The extension problem asks whether positive semi-definite functions on a symmetric unital subset of a discrete group can be extended to positive semi-definite functions on the whole group. It has been known at least since the work of Rudin…

Modified from the standard half-space extension via reflection principle, we construct a linear extension operator for the upper half space $\Bbb R^n_+$ that has the form $Ef(x)=\sum_{j=-\infty}^\infty a_jf(x',-b_jx_n)$ for $x_n<0$. We…

Inspired by Kalton and Wood's work on group algebras, we describe almost completely contractive algebra homomorphisms from Fourier algebras into Fourier-Stieltjes algebras (endowed with their canonical operator space structure). We also…

For any given bounded symmetric domain, we prove the existence of commutative $C^*$-algebras generated by Toeplitz operators acting on any weighted Bergman space. The symbols of the Toeplitz operators that generate such algebras are defined…

To an arbitrary directed graph we associate a row-finite directed graph whose C*-algebra contains the C*-algebra of the original graph as a full corner. This allows us to generalize results for C*-algebras of row-finite graphs to…

Let $G$ be a locally compact abelian Hausdorff topological group which is non-compact and whose Pontryagin dual $\Gamma$ is partially ordered. Let $\Gamma^{+}\subset\Gamma$ be the semigroup of positive elements in $\Gamma$. The Hardy space…

We study expansions of Hilbert spaces with a bounded normal operator $T$. We axiomatize this theory in a natural language and identify all of its completions. We prove the definability of the adjoint $T^*$ and prove quantifier elimination…

In this paper we consider A-Fredholm and semi-A-Fredholm operators on Hilbert C*-modules over a W*-algebra A defined in [3],[10]. Using the assumption that A is a W*-algebra (and not an arbitrary C*-algebra), we obtain several results such…

Let $M$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal semi-finite faithful trace (nsf trace in short) and let $T\colon M\to M$ be a contraction. We say that $T$ is absolutely dilatable if there exist another von Neumann algebra $M'$…

The normalized cochain complex of a simplicial set N^*(Y) is endowed with the structure of an E_{infinity} algebra. More specifically, we prove in a previous article that N^*(Y) is an algebra over the Barratt-Eccles operad. According to M.…

We consider pairs of operators $A,B\in B(H)$, where $H$ is a Hilbert space, such that there exist a linear isometry $f$ from the span of $\{A,B\}$ into $\mathbb{C}^2$ mapping $A,B$ into orthonormal vectors. We prove some necessary…
