Gelfand-Naimark duality (Commutative $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Locally compact Hausdorff spaces) is extended to $C^*$-algebras $\equiv$ Quotient maps on locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Using this duality, we give for an \emph{arbitrary}…

Gelfand duality between unital commutative C*-algebras and Compact Hausdorff spaces is extended to all unital C*-algebras, where the dual objects are what we call compact Hausdorff quantum spaces. We apply this result to obtain, a…

Any $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of locally compact, Hausdorff topological space $\mathcal X$. From the commutative commutative Gelfand-Na\u{\i}mark theorem it follows that the spectrum of any commutative $C^*$-algebra…

C*-algebras form rather general and rich mathematical structures that can be studied with different morphisms (preserving multiplication, or not), and with different properties (commutative, or not). These various options can be used to…

We prove constructive versions of various usual results related to the Gelfand duality. Namely, that the constructive Gelfand duality extend to a duality between commutative nonunital C*-algebras and locally compact completely regular…

Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies contravariant functor from a category of commutative $C^*-$ algebras to a category of locally compact Hausdorff spaces. Therefore any commutative $C^*-$ algebra is an alternative representation of a…

Gelfand duality is a fundamental result that justifies thinking of general unital $C^*$-algebras as noncommutative versions of compact Hausdorff spaces. Inspired by this perspective, we investigate what noncommutative measurable spaces…

This work provides a generalization of the Gelfand duality to the context of noncommutative locally $C^*$ algebras. Using a reformulation of a theorem proven by Dauns and Hofmann in the 60's we show that every locally $C^*$ algebra can be…

C*-algebras are widely used in mathematical physics to represent the observables of physical systems, and are sometimes taken as the starting point for rigorous formulations of quantum mechanics and classical statistical mechanics.…

We extend the spectral theory of commutative C*-categories to the non full-case, introducing a suitable notion of spectral spaceoid provinding a duality between a category of "non-trivial" *-functors of non-full commutative C*-categories…

We show that the following five categories are equivalent: (1) the opposite category of commutative von Neumann algebras; (2) compact strictly localizable enhanced measurable spaces; (3) measurable locales; (4) hyperstonean locales; (5)…

We compare two influential ways of defining a generalized notion of space. The first, inspired by Gelfand duality, states that the category of 'noncommutative spaces' is the opposite of the category of C*-algebras. The second, loosely…
