The theory of multiplier modules of Hilbert C*-modules is reconsidered to obtain more properties of these special Hilbert C*-modules. The property of a Hilbert C*-module to be a multiplier C*-module is shown to be an invariant with respect…

For appropriate parameters $k,p,q$, we introduce and systematically study the class of $(k,p,q)$-differential subalgebras. This is a vast class of Banach $^*$-algebras defined by their relation with their $C^*$-envelopes. Some examples are…

This paper generalizes results for alternate dual frames in Hilbert spaces on the situation of a Banach space. Additionally some properties of synthesys operator associated with alternate dual frame are investigated. The main result is that…

In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense of the theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan [ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$, with $H$ Hilbert. We will be…

There has been a long-standing conjecture in Banach algebra that every amenable operator is similar to a normal operator. In this paper, we study the structure of amenable operators on Hilbert spaces. At first, we show that the conjecture…

In this paper we study the reflexivity of a unital strongly closed algebra of operators with complemented invariant subspace lattice on a Banach space. We prove that if such an algebra contains a complete Boolean algebra of projections of…

We study the relationship between operator algebras, $C^*$ and von Neumann, acting on a Hilbert space and unitary representations of topological groups on the same space. We obtain certain correspondences between both these families of…

Linear spaces with an Euclidean metric are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising both from quadratic forms and inner products. Operators on such spaces also occur naturally. In recent years, the study of multivariate operator theory has made…

We prove that a biseparating map between spaces B(E), and some other Banach algebras, is automatically continuous and an algebra isomorphism.

We study such Hilbert C*-modules over a C*-algebra $A$, that the Banach $A$-dual module carries a natural structure of Hilbert $A$-module. In this direction we prove that if $A$ is monotone complete, $M$ and $N$ are Hilbert $A$-modules, $M$…

Real linear operators between two complex Banach spaces unify naturally two important classes of linear operators and antilinear operators. We give a survey of basic geometric, spectral and duality properties of real linear operators. The…

A necessary and sufficient condition for an operator space to support a multiplication making it completely isometric and isomorphic to a unital operator algebra is proved. The condition involves only the holomorphic structure of the Banach…

We show that every free semigroup algebras has a (strongly) unique Banach space predual. We also provide a new simpler proof that a weak*-closed unital operator operator algebra containing a weak* dense subalgebra of compact operators has a…

Suppose that H is a complex Hilbert space and that B(H) denotes the bounded linear operators on H. We show that every abelian, amenable operator algebra is similar to a C*-algebra. We do this by showing that if A is an abelian subalgebra of…

We study the notion of recurrence and some of its variations for linear operators acting on Banach spaces. We characterize recurrence for several classes of linear operators such as weighted shifts, composition operators and multiplication…

We define new symbol classes for pseudodifferntial operators and investigate their pseudodifferential calculus. The symbol classes are parametrized by commutative convolution algebras. To every solid convolution algebra over a lattice we…

In a recent paper of the first author and Kashyap, a new class of modules over dual operator algebras is introduced. These generalize the W*-modules (that is, Hilbert C*-modules over a von Neumann algebra which satisfy an analogue of the…

A dual Banach algebra is a Banach algebra which is a dual space, with the multiplication being separately weak$^*$-continuous. We show that given a unital dual Banach algebra $\mc A$, we can find a reflexive Banach space $E$, and an…

Hilbert(ian) A-modules over finite von Neumann algebras A with a faithful normal trace state (from global analysis) and Hilbert W*-modules over A (from operator algebra theory) are compared, and a categorical equivalence is established. The…

We answer in the affirmative the surprisingly difficult questions: If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual X, then is X a complex Banach space? If a complex Banach space possesses a real predual, then does it have a complex…
