We present an operator space version of Rieffel's theorem on the agreement of the metric topology, on a subset of the Banach space dual of a normed space, from a seminorm with the weak*-topology. As an application we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix metric from an unbounded Fredholm module to give the BW-topology on the matrix state space of the $C^*$-algebra. Motivated by recent results we formulate a non-commutative Lipschitz seminorm on a matrix order unit space and characterize those matrix Lipschitz seminorms whose matrix metric topology coincides with the BW-topology on the matrix state space.
This is an expository note focused upon one example, the irrational rotation $C^*$-algebra. We discuss how this algebra arises in nature - in quantum mechanics, group actions, and foliations, and we explain how $K$-theory is used to get information out of it. Our goal is to write as if we are sitting in Starbucks and explaining an idea to a good friend (on napkins, of course). So we are interested in getting an idea across but not at all interested in the technical details that, in any event, would be lost if the coffee spilled. So come with us for a drink at Starbucks!
In the present paper we prove that every 2-local inner derivation on the matrix ring over a commutative ring is an inner derivation and every derivation on an associative ring has an extension to a derivation on the matrix ring over this associative ring. We also develop a Jordan analog of the above method and prove that every 2-local inner derivation on the Jordan matrix ring over a commutative ring is a derivation.
In this paper we generalize classical results regarding minimal realizations of non-commutative (nc) rational functions using nc Fornasini-Marchesini realizations which are centred at an arbitrary matrix point. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a minimal realization for every nc rational function, centred at an arbitrary matrix point in its domain of regularity. Moreover, we show that using this realization we can evaluate the function on all of its domain (of matrices of all sizes) and also with respect to any stably finite algebra. As a corollary we obtain a new proof of the theorem b…
We characterize derivations and 2-local derivations from $M_{n}(\mathcal{A})$ into $M_{n}(\mathcal{M})$, $n \ge 2$, where $\mathcal{A}$ is a unital algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ is a unital $\mathcal{A}$-bimodule. We show that every derivation $D: M_{n}(\mathcal{A}) \to M_{n}(\mathcal{M})$, $n \ge 2,$ is the sum of an inner derivation and a derivation induced by a derivation from $\mathcal{A}$ to $\mathcal{M}$. We say that $\mathcal{A}$ commutes with $\mathcal{M}$ if $am=ma$ for every $a\in\mathcal{A}$ and $m\in\mathcal{M}$. If $\mathcal{A}$ commutes with $\mathcal{M}$ we prove t…
We construct a non-commutative Aleksandrov-Clark measure for any element in the operator-valued free Schur class, the closed unit ball of the free Toeplitz algebra of vector-valued full Fock space over $\mathbb{C} ^d$. Here, the free (analytic) Toeplitz algebra is the unital weak operator topology (WOT)-closed algebra generated by the component operators of the free shift, the row isometry of left creation operators. This defines a bijection between the free operator-valued Schur class and completely positive maps (non-commutative AC measures) on the operator system of the free disk algebra, t…
Non-commutative Polynomials of Independent Gaussian Random Matrices. The Real and Symplectic Cases
Haagerup和Thorbjornsen在他们的论文“A new application of random matrices：Ext（C*_red（F_2））is not a group”中证明了Voiculescu的随机矩阵模型对于独立复自伴高斯随机矩阵的扩展。我们将他们的结果推广到具有实或辛元素的随机矩阵（GOE-和GSE-系综）以及与之相关的随机矩阵系综。
In a previous paper the authors generalized classical results of minimal realizations of non-commutative (nc) rational functions, using nc Fornasini--Marchesini realizations which are centred at an arbitrary matrix point. In particular, it was proved that the domain of regularity of a nc rational function is contained in the invertibility set of a corresponding pencil of any minimal realization of the function. In this paper we prove an equality between the domain of a nc rational function and the domain of any of its minimal realizations. As for evaluations over stably finite algebras, we sho…
