We describe the role of algebraic extensions in the theory of commutative, unital normed algebras, with special attention to uniform algebras. We shall also compare these constructions and show how they are related to each other.
We introduce a concept of approximately invertible elements in non-unital normed algebras which is, on one side, a natural generalization of invertibility when having approximate identities at hand, and, on the other side, it is a direct extension of topological invertibility to non-unital algebras. Basic observations relate approximate invertibility with concepts of topological divisors of zero and density of (modular) ideals. We exemplify approximate invertibility in the group algebra, Wiener algebras, and operator ideals. For Wiener algebras with approximate identities (in particular, for t…
We characterize $M$-ideals in order smooth $\infty$-normed spaces by extending the notion of split faces of the state space to those of the quasi-state space. We also characterize approximate order unit spaces as those order smooth $\infty$-normed spaces $V$ that are $M$-ideals in $\tilde{V}.$ Here $\tilde{V}$ is the order unit space obtained by adjoining an order unit to $V.$ To prove these results, we develop an order theoretic version of the "Alfsen-Efffros' cone decomposition theorem" for order smooth $1$-normed spaces. (As a quick application of this result, we sharpen a result on the ext…
In this article, using generalized derivations, we obtain a simple idea to prove the non-commutative Newton binomial formula in unital algebras and then, we extend that formula to non-unital algebras. Additionally, we establish the non-commutative Newton binomial formula with a negative power.
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 scalar multiple of the unity and related notions, and goes into obtaining some rather nice assertions.
In the article, we find new dilatation results on non-commutative $L_p$ spaces. We prove that any selfadjoint, unital, positive measurable Schur multiplier on some $B(L^2(Σ))$ admits, for all $1\leq p<\infty$, an invertible isometric dilation on some non-commutative $L^p$-space. We obtain a similar result for selfadjoint, unital, completely positive Fourier multiplier on $VN(G)$, when $G$ is a unimodular locally compact group. Furthermore, we establish multivariable versions of these results.
Let $A$ be a commutative semisimple Arens regular unital Banach algebra. The correlation between the BSE-property of the Banach algebra $A$ and its second duals are assessed. It is found and approved that if $A$ is a BSE-algebra, then so is $A^{**}$. The opposite correlation will hold in certain conditions. The correlation of the BSE-norm property of the Banach algebra and its second dual are assessed and examined. It is revealed that, if $A$ is a commutative Arens regular unital Banach algebra where $A^{**}$ is semisimple, then, $A$ and $A^{**}$ are BSE-norm algebra.
It is easy to see that every character (i.e. unital *-homomorphism to the complex numbers) of a commutative unital associative *-algebra is a pure state (i.e. extreme point in the convex set of all normalized positive linear functionals). This article gives sufficient conditions for the converse to be true as well. In order to formulate these results together with similar ones, e.g. for locally convex *-algebras, the notion of an abstract O*-algebra (unital associative *-algebra with an order defined by positive linear functionals) is introduced. Many concepts and intermediary results discusse…
We prove that an action $ρ:A\to M(C_0(\mathbb{G})\otimes A)$ of a locally compact quantum group on a $C^*$-algebra has a universal equivariant compactification, and prove a number of other category-theoretic results on $\mathbb{G}$-equivariant compactifications: that the categories compactifications of $ρ$ and $A$ respectively are locally presentable (hence complete and cocomplete), that the forgetful functor between them is a colimit-creating left adjoint, and that epimorphisms therein are surjective and injections are regular monomorphisms. When $\mathbb{G}$ is regular coamenable we also sho…

Domination of operators in the non-commutative setting
我们考虑在非交换设置的优控制问题。更具体地,假设$E$和$F$是有序赋范空间(不一定是格),并且$0 \leq T \leq S :E \to F$。如果$S$属于某个理想(例如,紧算子或Dunford-Pettis算子的理想),那么是否可以推论$T$也属于那个理想?我们集中讨论$E$和$F$是$C^*$ -代数、von Neumann代数的前体或非交换函数空间的情形。特别地,我们证明了,对于$C^*$ -代数$\A$和${\mathcal{B}}$,以下是等价的:(1)两个条件中至少有一个成立:(i)$\A$是分散的,(ii)${\mathcal{B}}$是紧的;(2)如果$0 \leq T \leq S : \A \to {\mathcal{B}}$,和$S$是紧的,那么$T$是紧的。
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) hyperstonean spaces. This result can be seen as a measure-theoretic counterpart of the Gelfand duality between commutative unital C*-algebras and compact Hausdorff topological spaces.
We characterize the non-commutative Aleksandrov--Clark measures and the minimal realization formulas of contractive and, in particular, isometric non-commutative rational multipliers of the Fock space. Here, the full Fock space over $\mathbb{C} ^d$ is defined as the Hilbert space of square--summable power series in several non-commuting formal variables, and we interpret this space as the non-commutative and multi-variable analogue of the Hardy space of square--summable Taylor series in the complex unit disk. We further obtain analogues of several classical results in Aleksandrov--Clark measur…
The Riesz-Markov theorem identifies any positive, finite, and regular Borel measure on the complex unit circle with a positive linear functional on the continuous functions. By the Weierstrass approximation theorem, the continuous functions are obtained as the norm closure of the Disk Algebra and its conjugates. Here, the Disk Algebra can be viewed as the unital norm-closed operator algebra of the shift operator on the Hardy Space, $H^2$ of the disk. Replacing square-summable Taylor series indexed by the non-negative integers, i.e. $H^2$ of the disk, with square-summable power series indexed b…
