We prove that the C*-algebra of a minimal diffeomorphism satisfies Blackadar's Fundamental Comparability Property for positive elements. This leads to the classification, in terms of K-theory and traces, of the isomorphism classes of…

We provide a self-contained proof of the Artin-Wedderburn theorem in the case of finite-dimensional Von Neumann algebras (or equivalently unital C* algebras) that is fully constructive and uses only basic notions of linear algebra.

We establish a dilation-theoretic characterization of the Choquet order on the space of measures on a compact convex set using ideas from the theory of operator algebras. This yields an extension of Cartier's dilation theorem to the…

We present an operator-algebraic approach to the quantization and reduction of lattice field theories. Our approach uses groupoid C*-algebras to describe the observables and exploits Rieffel induction to implement the quantum gauge…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a separable von Neumann algebra with center $\mathcal{Z}(\mathcal{M})$. An operator $T$ in $\mathcal{M}$ is called irreducible if the von Neumann algebra $W^*(T)$ generated by $T$ has trivial relative commutant, i.e.,…

We present a hierarchical viewpoint on the operator-algebraic formulation of quantum systems, in which $C^{*}$-algebras are responsible for the universal and intrinsic description, whereas von Neumann algebras provide the detailed account…

Relativizing an idea from multiplicity theory, we say that an element x of a von Neumann algebra M is n-divisible if (W*(x)' cap M) unitally contains a factor of type I_n. We decide the density of the n-divisible operators, for various n,…

In this note one tries to venture into a study of some notions, in the context of a (unital) normed algebra, in particular the algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. Namely, one considers ``moving norms'', i.e.\ norming an element minus a…

We construct an operational formulation of classical mechanics without presupposing previous results from analytical mechanics. In doing so, several concepts from analytical mechanics will be rediscovered from an entirely new perspective.…

Kuhn-Tucker points play a fundamental role in the analysis and the numerical solution of monotone inclusion problems, providing in particular both primal and dual solutions. We propose a class of strongly convergent algorithms for…

A commutative order in a central simple algebra over a number field is said to be selective if it embeds in some, but not all, the maximal orders in the algebra. We completely characterize selective orders in central division algebras, of…

We prove a strong classification result for a certain class of $C^{*}$-algebras with primitive ideal space $\widetilde{\mathbb{N}}$, where $\widetilde{\mathbb{N}}$ is the one-point compactification of $\mathbb{N}$. This class contains the…

The order topology $\tau_o(P)$ (resp. the sequential order topology $\tau_{os}(P)$) on a poset $P$ is the topology that has as its closed sets those that contain the order limits of all their order convergent nets (resp. sequences). For a…

In this notes unbounded regular operators on Hilbert $C^*$-modules over arbitrary $C^*$-algebras are discussed. A densely defined operator $t$ possesses an adjoint operator if the graph of $t$ is an orthogonal summand. Moreover, for a…
