We show continuity properties for the pseudo-differential operator $\operatorname{Op} (a)$ from $M(\omega _0\omega ,\mathscr B )$ to $M(\omega ,\mathscr B )$, for fixed $s,\sigma \ge 1$, $\omega ,\omega _0\in \mathscr P _{s,\sigma}^0$…

Every four-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ superconformal field theory comes equipped with an intricate algebraic invariant, the associated vertex operator algebra. The relationships between this invariant and more conventional protected…

In this article, we will give a characterization of Banach bimodules over $C^*$-algebras of compact operators that arises from operator spaces as well as a characterization of (F)-Banach bundles amongst all (H)-Banach bundles over a…

These days it is common for young operator algebraists to know a lot about C*-algebras, or a lot about von Neumann algebras -- but not both. Though a natural consequence of the breadth and depth of each subject, this is unfortunate as the…

This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theories as (dual)…

We initiate and study the theory of ``real decomposable maps" between real operator systems. Formally, this is new even in the complex case, which hitherto has restricted itself to the case where the systems are complex C*-algebras. We…

This paper is a sequel to [6]. In that paper we transferred the discussions in [1] and [13] concerning almost invariant half-spaces for operators on complex Banach spaces to the context of operators on Hilbert space, and we gave easier…

Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C*-algebra associated to the directed graph. In this paper we give intrinsic constructions of these objects. We provide an explicit construction for the maximal…

This article is devoted to the investigation of $B^*$-algebras, dual and annihilator ultranormed algebras. Their structure is studied in the paper. Extensions of algebras and fields are considered and using them core radicals and radicals…

We survey the most recent results on extension of isometries between special subsets of the unit spheres of C$^*$-algebras, von Neumann algebras, trace class operators, preduals of von Neumann algebras, and $p$-Schatten-von Neumann spaces,…

In a previous paper with Kashyap we generalized the theory of $W^*$-modules to the setting of modules over nonselfadjoint dual operator algebras, obtaining the class of weak*-rigged modules. The present paper and its contemporaneous…

In this note we describe the dual and the completion of the space of finite linear combinations of $(p,\infty)$-atoms, $0<p\leq 1$ on ${\mathbb R}^n$. As an application, we show an extension result for operators uniformly bounded on…

We define a Banach algebra A to be dual if $A = (A_\ast)^\ast$ for a closed submodule $A_\ast$ of $A^\ast$. The class of dual Banach algebras includes all $W^\ast$-algebras, but also all algebras M(G) for locally compact groups G, all…

In this paper we show how the theory of monads can be used to deduce in a uniform manner several duality theorems involving categories of relations on one side and categories of algebras with homomorphisms preserving only some operations on…

Operator systems are the unital self-adjoint subspaces of the bounded operators on a Hilbert space. Complex operator systems are an important category containing the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, which is increasingly of interest in…

Lecture notes to a one-term course on operator algebras and their application in physics. Very brief and basic introduction to the subject of Banach- and C-star algebras complemented with their appearance in physics. The course is intended…

We study order-to-weak continuous operators from an ordered Banach space to a normed space. It is proved that under rather mild conditions every order-to-weak continuous operator is bounded.

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}…

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…

We analyze a definition of product of Banach spaces that is naturally associated by duality with an abstract notion of space of multiplication operators. This dual relation allows to understand several constructions coming from different…
