The Difference

Let B be a C*-algebra, E be a Hilbert B module and L(E) be the set of adjointable operators on E. Let A be a non-zero C*-subalgebra of L(E). In this paper, some new kinds of irreducibilities of A acting on E are introduced, which are all the generalizations of those associated to Hilbert spaces. The difference between these irreducibilities are illustrated by a number of counterexamples. It is concluded that for a full Hilbert B-module, these irreducibilities are all equivalent if and only if the underlying C*-algebra B is isomorphic to the C*-algebra of all compact operators on a Hilbert space.

AbstractIn this paper we consider the following problem: Given a unital C*- algebra A and a collection of elements S in the identity component of the invertible group of A, denoted inv0(A), characterize the group of finite products of elements of S. The particular C*-algebras studied in this paper are either unital purely infinite simple or of the form (A ⊗ K)+, where A is any C*-algebra and K is the compact operators on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. The types of elements used in the factorizations are unipotents (1+ nilpotent), positive invertibles and symmetries (s2 = 1). First we determine the groups of finite products for each collection of elements in (A ⊗ K)+. Then we give upper bounds on the number of factors needed in these cases. The main result, which uses results for (A ⊗ K)+, is that for A unital purely infinite and simple, inv0(A) is generated by each of these collections of elements.

AbstractWe show that the property of a C*-algebra that all its Hilbert modules have a frame, in the case of σ-unital C*-algebras, is preserved under Rieffel–Morita equivalence. In particular, we show that a σ-unital continuous-trace C*-algebra with trivial Dixmier–Douady class, all of whose Hilbert modules admit a frame, has discrete spectrum. We also show this for the tensor product of any commutative C*-algebra with the C*-algebra of compact operators on any Hilbert space.

A $\lambda$-graph system is a labeled Bratteli diagram with shift transformation. It is a generalization of finite labeled graphs and presents a subshift. In [16] the author has introduced a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ associated with a $\lambda$-graph system $\mathfrak{L}$ by using groupoid method as a generalization of the Cuntz-Krieger algebras. In this paper, we concretely construct the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ by using both creation operators and projections on a sub Fock Hilbert space associated with $\mathfrak{L}$. We also introduce a new irreducible condition on $\mathfrak{L}$ under which the $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{O}_{\mathfrak{L}}$ becomes simple and purely infinite.

AbstractLet A be a C*-algebra and K the C*-algebra of all compact operators on a countably infinite dimensional Hilbert space. In this note, we shall show that there is an isomorphism of a semigroup of equivalence classes of certain partial automorphisms of A ⊗ K onto a semigroup of equivalence classes of certain countably generated A-A-Hilbert bimodules.

In [2] a condition, originally due to Olagunju, was given for the spectra of certain compact operators to be on the real axis of the complex plane. Here, by using conformal mappings, this result is extended to more general curves. The problem divides naturally into two cases depending on whether or not the curve under consideration passes through the origin. Discussion is confined to the prototype curves C0 and C1. The case of C0, the unit circle of centre the origin, is considered in § 3; this problem is a simple one as the spectrum is a finite set. In § 4 results are given for C1 the unit circle of centre the point 1, and some results on ideals of compact operators, given in § 2, are needed. No attempt has been made to state results in complete generality (see [2]); this paper is kept within the framework of Hilbert space, and particularly simple conditions may be given if the operators are normal.

Let be a separable complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space, the algebra of bounded operators in the ideal of compact operators, and the quotient map. Throughout this paper A denotes a separable nuclear C*-algebra with unit. An extension of A is a unital *-monomorphism of A into . Two extensions τ1 and τ2 are strongly (weakly) equivalent if there exists a unitary (Fredholm partial isometry) U in such thatfor all a in A.

Algebra Of Operators

A C*-algebra A of operators on a separable Hilbert space H is said to be quasidiagonal if there is an increasing sequence E1, E2, … of finite-rank projections on H tending strongly to the identity and such thatas i → ∞ for T∈A. More generally a C*-algebra is quasidiagonal if there is a faithful *-representation π of A on a separable Hilbert space H such that π(A) is a quasidiagonal algebra of operators. When this is the case, there is a decomposition H = H1 ⊕ H2 ⊕ … where dim Hi < ∞ (i = 1, 2,…) such that each T∈π(A) can be written T = D + K where D= D1 ⊕ D2 ⊕ …, with Di∈L(Hi) (i = 1, 2,…), and K is a compact linear operator on H. As is well known (and readily seen), this is an alternative characterization of quasidiagonality.

Numerical Index

Two numerical characterizations of commutativity for C*-algebra (acting on the Hilbert space H) were given in [1]; one used the norms of self-adjoint operators in (Theorem 2), and the other the numerical index of (Theorem 3). In both cases the proofs were based on the result of Kaplansky which states that if the only nilpotent operator in is 0, then is commutative ([2] 2.12.21, p. 68). Of course the converse also holds.

For Hilbert spaces [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we use the notations [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] to denote the sets of all [Formula: see text]-Bessel sequences, [Formula: see text]-frames and Riesz bases in [Formula: see text] with respect to [Formula: see text], respectively. By defining a linear operation and a norm, we prove that [Formula: see text] becomes a Banach space and is isometrically isomorphic to the operator space [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text]. In light of operator theory, it is proved that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are open sets in [Formula: see text]. This implies that both [Formula: see text]-frames and Riesz bases are stable under a small perturbation. By introducing a linear bijection [Formula: see text] from [Formula: see text] onto the [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text], a multiplication and an involution on the Banach space [Formula: see text] are defined so that [Formula: see text] becomes a unital [Formula: see text]-algebra that is isometrically isomorphic to the [Formula: see text]-algebra [Formula: see text], provided that [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are isomorphic.

Full Duality

In this paper, we study the duality theory of Hopf C*-algebras in a general "Hilbert-space-free" framework. Our particular interests are the "full duality" and the "reduced duality". In order to study the reduced duality, we define the interesting notion of Fourier algebra of a general Hopf C*-algebra. This study of reduced duality and Fourier algebra is found to be useful in the study of other aspects of Hopf C*-algebras (see e.g. [12–14]).
