AbstractComplete positivity of ‘atomically extensible’ bounded linear operators between $C^*$-algebras is characterized in terms of positivity of a bilinear form on certain finite-rank operators. In the case of an elementary operator on a $C^*$-algebra, the approach leads us to characterize k-positivity of the operator in terms of positivity of a quadratic form on a subset of the dual space of the algebra and in terms of a certain inequality involving factorial states of finite type I.As an application we characterize those $C^*$-algebras where every k-positive elementary operator on the algebra is completely positive. They are either k-subhomogeneous or k-subhomogeneous by antiliminal. We also give a dual approach to the metric operator space introduced by Arveson.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 46L05. Secondary 47B47; 47B65

Operator Monotone Functions

The article is devoted to investigation of classes of functions monotone as functions on general C*-algebras that are not necessarily the C*-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space as in classical case of matrix and operator monotone functions. We show that for general C*-algebras the classes of monotone functions coincide with the standard classes of matrix and operator monotone functions. For every class we give exact characterization of C*-algebras with this class of monotone functions, providing at the same time a monotonicity characterization of subhomogeneous C*-algebras. We use this result to generalize characterizations of commutativity of a C*-algebra based on monotonicity conditions for a single function to characterizations of subhomogeneity. As a C*-algebraic counterpart of standard matrix and operator monotone scaling, we investigate, by means of projective C*-algebras and relation lifting, the existence of C*-subalgebras of a given monotonicity class.

Necessary And Sufficient

Let X be a complex Banach space and L(X) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on X. For a given elementary operator P of length 2 on L(X), we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution of the equation YP=0 in the algebra of all elementary operators on L(X). Our approach allows us to characterize some invertible elementary operators of length 2 whose inverses are elementary operators.

Orthogonality Preservers

We obtain a complete characterization of all orthogonality preserving operators from a JB *-algebra to a JB *-triple. If T : J → E is a bounded linear operator from a JB *-algebra (respectively, a C *-algebra) to a JB *-triple and h denotes the element T**(1), then T is orthogonality preserving, if and only if, T preserves zero-triple-products, if and only if, there exists a Jordan *-homomorphism [Formula: see text] such that S(x) and h operator commute and T(x) = h•r(h) S(x), for every x ∈ J, where r(h) is the range tripotent of h, [Formula: see text] is the Peirce-2 subspace associated to r(h) and •r(h) is the natural product making [Formula: see text] a JB *-algebra. This characterization culminates the description of all orthogonality preserving operators between C *-algebras and JB *-algebras and generalizes all the previously known results in this line of study.

AbstractSpectrality and prespectrality of elementary operators , acting on the algebra B(k) of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite-dimensional complex Hubert space K, or on von Neumann-Schatten classes in B(k), are treated. In the case when (a1, a2, …, an) and (b1, b2, …, bn) are two n—tuples of commuting normal operators on H, the complete characterization of spectrality is given.

AbstractAs a consequence of the main result of the paper we obtain that every 2-local isometry of the $C^*$-algebra $B(H)$ of all bounded linear operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ is an isometry. We have a similar statement concerning the isometries of any extension of the algebra of all compact operators by a separable commutative $C^*$-algebra. Therefore, on those $C^*$-algebras the isometries are completely determined by their local actions on the two-point subsets of the underlying algebras.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 47B49

Let BH be the algebra of bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H. For k-tuples of elements of BH, A=A1,…,Ak and B=B1,…,Bk, let RA,B denote the elementary operator on BH defined by RA,BX=∑i=1kAiXBi. In this paper, we prove the following formula for the numerical range of RA,B: VRA,B,BBH=[∪U∈UHW(∑i=1kUAiU*Bi)-]-, where UH is the set of unitary operators.

The following (so-called unitary equivalence) problem is of paramount importance in the theory of operators: given two (bounded linear) operators A1, A2 on a (complex) Hilbert space , determine whether or not they are unitarily equivalent, i.e., whether or not there is a unitary operator U on such that U*A1U = A2. For normal operators this question is completely answered by the classical multiplicity theory [7; 11]. Many authors, in particular, Brown [3], Pearcy [9], Deckard [5], Radjavi [10], and Arveson [1; 2], considered the problem for non-normal operators and have obtained various significant results. However, most of their results (cf. [13]) deal only with operators which are of type I in the following sense [12]: an operator, A, is of type I (respectively, II1, II∞, III) if the von Neumann algebra generated by A is of type I (respectively, II1, II∞, III).

Weakly Closed

A collection of subspaces of a Hilbert space is called a nest if it is totally ordered by inclusion. The set of all bounded linear operators leaving invariant each member of a given nest forms a weakly-closed algebra, called a nest algebra. Nest algebras were introduced by J. R. Ringrose in [9]. The present paper is concerned with generating nest algebras as weakly-closed algebras, and in particular with the following question which was first raised by H. Radjavi and P. Rosenthal in [8], viz: Is every nest algebra on a separable Hilbert space generated, as a weakly-closed algebra, by two operators? That the answer to this question is affirmative is proved by first reducing the problem using the main result of [8] and then by using a characterization of nests due to J. A. Erdos [2].

We present two types of result for approximately inner one-parameter automorphism groups (referred to as AI flows hereafter) of separable C*-algebras. First, if there is an irreducible representation π of a separable C*-algebra A such that π(A) does not contain non-zero compact operators, then there is an AI flow α such that π is α-covariant and α is far from uniformly continuous in the sense that α induces a flow on π(A) which has full Connes spectrum. Second, if α is an AI flow on a separable C*-algebra A and π is an α-covariant irreducible representation, then we can choose a sequence (hn) of self-adjoint elements in A such that αt is the limit of inner flows Ad eithn and the sequence π(eithn) of one-parameter unitary groups (referred to as unitary flows hereafter) converges to a unitary flow which implements α in π. This latter result will be extended to cover the case of weakly inner type I representations. In passing we shall also show that if two representations of a separable simple C*-algebra on a separable Hilbert space generate the same von Neumann algebra of type I, then there is an approximately inner automorphism which sends one into the other up to equivalence.
