0. In [3], Fell introduced a topology on Rep (A,H), the collection of all non-null but possibly degenerate *-representations of the C*-algebra A on the Hilbert space H. This topology, which we will call the Fell topology, can be described by giving, as basic open neighbourhoods of π0 ∈ Rep(A, H), sets of the formwhere the ai ∈ A, and the ξj ∈ H(π0), the essential space of π0 [4].A principal result of [3, Theorem 3.1] is that if the Hilbert dimension of H is large enough to admit all irreducible representations of A, then the quotient space Irr(A, H)/∼ can be identified with the spectrum (or “dual“) Â of A, in its hull-kernel topology.

Abstract We show that group C*-algebras of finitely generated, nilpotent groups have finite nuclear dimension. It then follows, from a string of deep results, that the C*-algebra A generated by an irreducible representation of such a group has decomposition rank at most 3. If, in addition, A satisfies the universal coefficient theorem, another string of deep results shows it is classifiable by its ordered K-theory and is approximately subhomogeneous. We observe that all C*-algebras generated by faithful irreducible representations of finitely generated, torsion free nilpotent groups satisfy the universal coefficient theorem.

Charge Quantization

Quantization is defined as the act of assigning an appropriate C*-algebra [Formula: see text] to a given configuration space Q, along with a prescription mapping self-adjoint elements of [Formula: see text] into physically interpretable observables. This procedure is adopted to solve the problem of quantizing a particle moving on a homogeneous locally compact configuration space Q=G/H. Here [Formula: see text] is chosen to be the transformation group C*-algebra corresponding to the canonical action of G on Q. The structure of these algebras and their representations are examined in some detail. Inequivalent quantizations are identified with inequivalent irreducible representations of the C*-algebra corresponding to the system, hence with its superselection sectors. Introducing the concept of a pre-Hamiltonian, we construct a large class of G-invariant time-evolutions on these algebras, and find the Hamiltonians implementing these time-evolutions in each irreducible representation of [Formula: see text]. “Topological” terms in the Hamiltonian (or the corresponding action) turn out to be representation-dependent, and are automatically induced by the quantization procedure. Known “topological” charge quantization or periodicity conditions are then identically satisfied as a consequence of the representation theory of [Formula: see text].

Cocycle Perturbation

For a flow α on a C*-algebra one defines a symmetry as the group of automorphisms γ such that γαγ-1 is a cocycle perturbation of α. We propose to define a core of this symmetry, which acts trivially on the set of equivalence classes of KMS state representations, but may act non-trivially on the set of equivalence classes of covariant irreducible representations. In particular this core acts transitively on the set of those which induce faithful representations of the crossed product by α.

In this note, we generalize a result of Mikkelsen–Szymański and show that, for every [Formula: see text], any bounded ∗-representation of the quantum symplectic sphere [Formula: see text] annihilates the first [Formula: see text] generators. We then classify irreducible representations of its coordinate algebra [Formula: see text].

Abstract Suppose that $\mathcal {A}$ is a unital subhomogeneous C*-algebra. We show that every central sequence in $\mathcal {A}$ is hypercentral if and only if every pointwise limit of a sequence of irreducible representations is multiplicity free. We also show that every central sequence in $\mathcal {A}$ is trivial if and only if every pointwise limit of irreducible representations is irreducible. Finally, we give a nice representation of the latter algebras.

Intuitive Interpretation

AbstractExpanding the crystal field in terms of operators that transform as the irreducible representations of the Td group leads to an intuitive interpretation of the crystal-field parameters. We apply this method to the crystal field experienced by Nd3+ dopants in the laser crystals YLiF4, YVO4, and KLiYF5.
