Recently R. G. Douglas showed [4] that if V is a nonunitary isometry and U is a unitary operator (both acting on a complex, separable, infinite dimensional Hilbert space ), then V — K is unitarily equivalent to V ⊕ U (acting on ⊕ ) where K is a compact operator of arbitrarily small norm. In this note we shall prove a much more general theorem which seems to indicate "why" Douglas' theorem holds (and which yields Douglas' theorem as a corollary).

AbstractIn this paper, we construct the unique (up to isomorphism) extension algebra, denoted by E∞, of the Cuntz algebra 𝒪∞ by the C*-algebra of compact operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that two unital monomorphisms from E∞ to a unital purely infinite simple C*-algebra are approximately unitarily equivalent if and only if they induce the same homomorphisms in K-theory.

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) Halmos and Kakutani proved that any unitary operator on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a product of at most four symmetries (self-adjoint unitaries). It is the purpose of this paper to show that if the unitary is an element of a properly infinite von Neumann algebraA(i.e., one with no finite non-zero central projections), then the symmetries may be chosen fromA.A principal tool used in establishing this result is Theorem 1, which was proved by Murray and von Neumann (6, 3.2.3) for type II1factors; see also (3, Lemma 5). The author would like to thank David Topping for raising the question, and for several stimulating conversations on the subject. He is also indebted to the referee for several helpful suggestions.

With every E0-semigroup (acting on the algebra of of bounded operators on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space) there is an associated Arveson system. One of the most important results about Arveson systems is that every Arveson system is the one associated with an E0-semigroup. In these notes we give a new proof of this result that is considerably simpler than the existing ones and allows for a generalization to product systems of Hilbert module (to be published elsewhere).

The tomographic description of a quantum state is formulated in an abstract infinite-dimensional Hilbert space framework, the space of the Hilbert-Schmidt linear operators, with trace formula as scalar product. Resolutions of the unity, written in terms of over-complete sets of rank-one projectors and of associated Gram-Schmidt operators taking into account their non-orthogonality, are then used to reconstruct a quantum state from its tomograms. Examples of well known tomographic descriptions illustrate the exposed theory.
