We study families of self-adjoint operators with given spectra whose sum is a scalar operator. Such families are $*$-representations of certain algebras which can be described in terms of graphs and positive functions on them. The main…
A general approach to the well-behaved unbounded *-representations of a *-algebra X is proposed. Let B be a normed *-algebra equipped with a left action |> of X on B such that (x |> a)^+ b=a^+(x^+ |> b) for a,b\in B and x\in X. Then the…
We introduce a family of differential-reflection operators $\Lambda_{A, \varepsilon}$ acting on smooth functions defined on $\mathbb R.$ Here $A$ is a Strum-Liouville function with additional hypotheses and $\varepsilon\in \mathbb R.$ For…
In this work we propose a generalization of the concept of Ruelle operator for one dimensional lattices used in thermodynamic formalism and ergodic optimization, which we call generalized Ruelle operator, that generalizes both the Ruelle…
We analyze reflection positive representations in terms of positive Hankel operators. This is motivated by the fact that positive Hankel operators are described in terms of their Carleson measures, whereas the compatibility condition…
We study the theory of a Hilbert space H as a module for a unital C*-algebra A from the point of view of continuous logic. We give an explicit axiomatization for this theory and describe the structure of all the representations which are…
We compare two C*-algebras that have been used to study the essential spectrum. This is done by considering a simple second order elliptic differential operator acting in L^2(R^N), which is affiliated with one or both of the algebras…
We study non-commutative algebraic geometry of Artin, Serre and Tate in terms of the operator algebras. Namely, we define the Serre $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}_X$ of a projective variety $X$ as the norm-closure of a representation of the…
Some connections between operator theory and wavelet analysis: Since the mid eighties, it has become clear that key tools in wavelet analysis rely crucially on operator theory. While isolated variations of wavelets, and wavelet…
This paper seeks to construct a representation of the algebra of angular momentum (SU(2) algebra) in terms of the operator relations corresponding to Gentile statistics in which one quantum state can be occupied by $n$ particles. First, we…
We show that every biorthogonal wavelet determines a representation by operators on Hilbert space satisfying simple identities, which captures the established relationship between orthogonal wavelets and Cuntz-algebra representations in…
Motivated by the multivariate wavelet theory, and by the spectral theory of transfer operators, we construct an abstract affine structure and a multiresolution associated to a matrix-valued weight. We describe the one-to-one correspondence…
Harmonic functions of the three dimensional Lie groups defined on certain manifolds related to the Lie groups themselves and carrying all their unitary representations are explicitly constructed. The realisations of these Lie groups are…
In this paper we survey our recent work on C*-correspondences and their associated operator algebras; in particular, on adding tails, the Shift Equivalence Problem and Hilbert bimodules.
The rotation algebra $\mathcal A_{\theta}$ is the universal $C^*$--algebra generated by unitary operators $U, V$ satisfying the commutation relation $UV = \omega V U$ where $\omega= e^{2\pi i \theta}.$ They are rational if $\theta = p/q$…
A C*-algebra is n-homogeneous (where n is finite) if every its nonzero irreducible representation acts on an n-dimensional Hilbert space. An elementary proof of Fell's characterization of n-homogeneous C*-algebras (by means of their…
This is a survey paper about affine Hecke algebras. We start from scratch and discuss some algebraic aspects of their representation theory, referring to the literature for proofs. We aim in particular at the classification of irreducible…
The $C^*$-algebra of the group $SL(2,{\mathbb R})$ is characterized using the operator valued Fourier transform. In particular, it is shown by explicit computations, that the Fourier transform of this $C^*$-algebra fulfills the norm…
We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…
Several authors have considered whether the ultrapower and the relative commutant of a C*-algebra or II_1 factor depend on the choice of the ultrafilter. We settle each of these questions, extending results of Ge-Hadwin and the first…
