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.

Given a uniformly continuous quantum dynamical semigroup on a separable unital C* algebra, we construct a canonical Evans–Hudson (E-H) dilation. Such a result was already proved by Goswami and Sinha6 in the von Neumann algebra setup, which has been extended to the C* algebraic framework in this paper. The authors make use of the coordinate-free calculus and results of Ref. 6, but the proof of the existence of structure maps differs from that of Ref. 6.

Strong Morita Equivalence

We give a solution, via operator spaces, of an old problem in the Morita equivalence of $C^*$-algebras. Namely, we show that $C^*$-algebras are strongly Morita equivalent in the sense of Rieffel if and only if their categories of left operator modules are isomorphic via completely contractive functors. Moreover, any such functor is completely isometrically isomorphic to the Haagerup tensor product (= interior tensor product) with a strong Morita equivalence bimodule. An operator module over a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal A$ is a closed subspace of some B(H) which is left invariant under multiplication by $\pi(\mathcal\ A)$, where $\pi$ is a*-representation of $\mathcal A$ on $H$. The category $_{\mathcal{AHMOD}}$ of *-representations of $\mathcal A$ on Hilbert space is a full subcategory of the category $_{\mathcal{AOMOD}}$ of operator modules. Our main result remains true with respect to subcategories of $OMOD$ which contain $HMOD$ and the $C^*$-algebra itself. It does not seem possible to remove the operator space framework; in the very simplest cases there may exist no bounded equivalence functors on categories with bounded module maps as morphisms (as opposed to completely bounded ones). Our proof involves operator space techniques, together with a $C^*$-algebra argument using compactness of the quasistate space of a $C^*$-algebra, and lowersemicontinuity in the enveloping von Neumann algebra.

B. Tsirelson constructed an uncountable family of type III product systems of Hilbert spaces through the theory of Gaussian spaces, measure type spaces and "slightly colored noises", using techniques from probability theory. Here we take a purely functional analytic approach and try to have a better understanding of Tsireleson's construction and his examples. We prove an extension of Shale's theorem connecting symplectic group and Weyl representation. We show that the "Shale map" respects compositions (this settles an old conjecture of K. R. Parthasarathy8). Using this we associate a product system to a sum system. This construction includes the exponential product system of Arveson, as a trivial case, and the type III examples of Tsirelson. By associating a von Neumann algebra to every "elementary set" in [0, 1], in a much simpler and direct way, we arrive at the invariants of the product system introduced by Tsirelson, given in terms of the sum system. Then we introduce a notion of divisibility for a sum system, and prove that the examples of Tsirelson are divisible. It is shown that only type I and type III product systems arise out of divisible sum systems. Finally, we give a sufficient condition for a divisible sum system to give rise to a unitless (type III) product system.

AbstractWe study a canonical C* -algebra, 𝒮(Г,μ), that arises from a weighted graph (Г,μ), speci fic cases of which were previously studied in the context of planar algebras. We discuss necessary and sufficient conditions of the weighting that ensure simplicity and uniqueness of trace of 𝒮(Г,μ), and study the structure of its positive cone. We then study the *-algebra,𝒜, generated by the generators of 𝒮(Г,μ), and use a free differential calculus and techniques of Charlesworth and Shlyakhtenko as well as Mai, Speicher, and Weber to show that certain “loop” elements have no atoms in their spectral measure. After modifying techniques of Shlyakhtenko and Skoufranis to show that self adjoint elements x ∊ Mn(𝒜) have algebraic Cauchy transform, we explore some applications to eigenvalues of polynomials inWishart matrices and to diagrammatic elements in von Neumann algebras initially considered by Guionnet, Jones, and Shlyakhtenko.

Normal 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).

Inner Automorphism

AbstractAF C*-algebras contain natural AF masas which, here, we call standard diagonals. Standard diagonals are unique, in the sense that two standard diagonals in an AF C*-algebra are conjugate by an approximately inner automorphism. We show that this uniqueness fails for non-selfadjoint AF operator algebras. Precisely, we construct two standard diagonals in a particular non-selfadjoint AF operator algebra which are not conjugate by an approximately inner automorphism of the non-selfadjoint algebra.

The paper is devoted to local derivations on the algebra [Formula: see text] of τ-measurable operators affiliated with a von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] and a faithful normal semi-finite trace τ. We prove that every local derivation on [Formula: see text] which is continuous in the measure topology, is in fact a derivation. In the particular case of type I von Neumann algebras, they all are inner derivations. It is proved that for type I finite von Neumann algebras without an abelian direct summand, and also for von Neumann algebras with the atomic lattice of projections, the continuity condition on local derivations in the above results is redundant. Finally we give necessary and sufficient conditions on a commutative von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] for the algebra [Formula: see text] to admit local derivations which are not derivations.

AbstractA subset ${\mathcal{X}}$ of a C*-algebra ${\mathcal{A}}$ is called irredundant if no $A\in {\mathcal{X}}$ belongs to the C*-subalgebra of ${\mathcal{A}}$ generated by ${\mathcal{X}}\setminus \{A\}$. Separable C*-algebras cannot have uncountable irredundant sets and all members of many classes of nonseparable C*-algebras, e.g., infinite dimensional von Neumann algebras have irredundant sets of cardinality continuum.There exists a considerable literature showing that the question whether every AF commutative nonseparable C*-algebra has an uncountable irredundant set is sensitive to additional set-theoretic axioms, and we investigate here the noncommutative case.Assuming $\diamondsuit$ (an additional axiom stronger than the continuum hypothesis), we prove that there is an AF C*-subalgebra of ${\mathcal{B}}(\ell _{2})$ of density $2^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}}=\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}_{1}$ with no nonseparable commutative C*-subalgebra and with no uncountable irredundant set. On the other hand we also prove that it is consistent that every discrete collection of operators in ${\mathcal{B}}(\ell _{2})$ of cardinality continuum contains an irredundant subcollection of cardinality continuum.Other partial results and more open problems are presented.
