We study the notions of nuclearity and exactness for module maps on $C^{*}$-algebras which are $C^*$-module over another $C^*$-algebra with compatible actions and examine finite approximation properties of such $C^*$-modules. We prove…
The goal of the present paper is a short introduction to a general module frame theory in C*-algebras and Hilbert C*-modules. The reported investigations rely on the idea of geometric dilation to standard Hilbert C*-modules over unital…
The aim of this article is to describe a class of *-algebras that allows to treat well-behaved algebras of unbounded operators independently of a representation. To this end, Archimedean ordered *-algebras (*-algebras whose real linear…
Since their inception in the 30's by von Neumann, operator algebras have been used in shedding light in many mathematical theories. Classification results for self-adjoint and non-self-adjoint operator algebras manifest this approach, but a…
We survey the model theory of operator systems and C$^*$-algebras.
In this paper, the $C^*$-algebra of the seven-dimensional un-decomposable nilpotent Lie group is characterized explicitly for the first time(see \cite{chin}). Furthermore, the topology of its spectrum is described as a preparation for the…
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.
In the classical operator theory, there are several versions of spectra, related to special classes of operators (Fredholm, semi-Fredholm, upper/lower semi-Fredholm,etc.). We generalize these notions for adjointable operators on Hilbert…
This is a companion to recent papers of the authors; here we construct the `noncommutative Shilov boundary' of a (possibly nonunital) selfadjoint ordered space of Hilbert space operators. The morphisms in the universal property of the…
We describe the Shilov boundary ideal for a q-analog of the algebra of holomorphic functions on the unit ball in the space of $n\times n$ matrices and show that its $C^*$-envelope is isomorphic to the $C^*$-algebra of continuous functions…
We give a complete description of order isomorphisms between operator intervals in general von Neumann algebras. For the description, we use Jordan $^*$-isomorphisms and locally measurable operators. Our results generalize several works by…
The classical Gelfand--Naimark theorems provide important insight into the structure of general and of commutative C*-algebras. It is shown that these can be generalized to certain ordered *-algebras. More precisely, for $\sigma$-bounded…
We single out the concept of concrete Hilbert module over a locally $C^*$-algebra by means of locally bounded operators on certain strictly inductive limits of Hilbert spaces. Using this concept, we construct an operator model for all…
We give a comprehensive introduction to a general modular frame construction in Hilbert C*-modules and to related modular operators on them. The Hilbert space situation appears as a special case. The reported investigations rely on the idea…
In this paper it is shown that the lattice of C*-covers of an operator algebra does not contain enough information to distinguish operator algebras up to completely isometric isomorphism. In addition, four natural equivalences of the…
In the present paper we study the structure of C^*-algebras generated by the components of the polar decompositions of operators in Hilbert space satisfying certain commutation relations.
We show that certain spaces of log-integrable functions and operators are complete topological *-algebras with respect to a natural metric space structure. We explore connections with the Nevanlinna class of holomorphic functions.
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…
We give a new Banach module characterization of $W^*$-modules, also known as selfdual Hilbert $C^*$-modules over a von Neumann algebra. This leads to a generalization of the notion, and the theory, of W*-modules, to the setting where the…
By the Gelfand-Naimark theorem, any C*-algebra is isometrically isomorphic to a *-algebra of bounded operators on a Hilbert space which is closed with respect to the topology induced by the operator norm. Hence, the C*-algebras furnish an…
