We study contractive projections, isometries, and real positive maps on algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example we find generalizations and variants of certain classical results on contractive projections on C*-algebras and…

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. We say that $A$ satisfies the SP if every bounded homomorphism $A\to B(K)$, with $K$ a Hilbert space, is similar to a $*$-homomorphism. We introduce three hypotheses that relate to extending hyperreflexive…

We prove a general criterion for a von Neumann algebra $M$ in order to be in standard form. It is formulated in terms of an everywhere defined, invertible, antilinear, a priori not necessarily bounded operator, intertwining $M$ with its…

Let $X$ be a unit interval or a unit circle and let $B$ be a $\sigma_p$-unital, purely infinite, simple $C\sp*$-algebra such that its multiplier algebra $M(B)$ has real rank zero. Then we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a…

We show that a $C^\star$-algebra $B$ contains a dense left or right Fr\'echet ideal $A$, with $A$ a nuclear locally convex space, if and only if the primitive ideal space Prim$(B)$ of $B$ is discrete and countable, and $B/I$ is finite…

We study the Cuntz semigroup for non-simple $\text{C}^*$-algebras in this paper. In particular, we use the extended Elliott invariant to characterize the Cuntz comparison for $\text{C}^*$-algebras with the projection property which have…

Let M be a fixed left R-module. For a left R-module X, we introduce the notion of M-prime (resp. M-semiprime) submodule of X such that in the case M=R, which coincides with prime (resp. semiprime) submodule of X. Other concepts encountered…

We construct the Calderon projection on the space of Cauchy datas for a twisted Dirac operator in the Mischenko--Fomenko pseudodifferential calculus for operators acting on bundles of finitely generated $C^*$--Hilbert modules on a compact…

In recent work of the second author, a technical result was proved establishing a bijective correspondence between certain open projections in a C*-algebra containing an operator algebra A, and certain one-sided ideals of A. Here we give…

It is proved that classifiable simple separable nuclear purely infinite C*-algebras having finitely generated K-theory and torsion-free K_1 are semiprojective. This is accomplished by exhibiting these algebras as C*-algebras of infinite…

We analyze certain algebraic structures of the Banach space projective tensor product of $C^*$-algebras which are comparable with their known counterparts or the Haagerup tensor product and the operator space projective tensor product of…

With Charles Read we have introduced and studied a new notion of (real) positivity in operator algebras, with an eye to extending certain C*-algebraic results and theories to more general algebras. As motivation note that the `completely'…

We transcribe a portion of the theory of extensions of C*-algebras to general operator algebras. We also include several new general facts about approximately unital ideals in operator algebras and the C*-algebras which they generate.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: firstly, we give a characterization on the level of non-unital operator systems for when the zero map is a boundary representation. As a consequence, we show that a non-unital operator system arising…

Let $A$ be a unital Banach algebra. We give a characterization of the left Banach $A$-modules $X$ for which there exists a commutative unital $C^*$-algebra $C(K)$, a linear isometry $i\colon X\to C(K)$, and a contractive unital homomorphism…

We extend the usual theory of universal C*-algebras from generators and relations in order to allow some relations to be described using the strong operator topology. In particular, we can allow some infinite sum relations. We prove a…

We give a classification theorem for a class of C*-algebras which are direct limits of extensions of circle algebras by purely infinite C*-algebras. The invariant consists of the following: (1) the set of Murray-von Neumann equivalence…

We describe absolutely ordered $p$-normed spaces, for $1 \le p \le \infty$ which presents a model for "non-commutative" vector lattices and includes order theoretic orthogonality. To demonstrate its relevance, we introduce the notion of…

We generalize some aspects of the theory of compact projections relative to a C*-algebra, to the setting of more general algebras. Our main result is that compact projections are the decreasing limits of `peak projections', and in the…

Let F denote either the real or complex field. An ideal I in the free *-algebra F<x,x*> in g freely noncommuting variables and their formal adjoints is a *-ideal if I = I*. When a real *-ideal has finite codimension, it satisfies a strong…
