Let be a Hilbert space and denote the collection of (bounded, linear) operators on by . Throughout this paper, the term ‘algebra’ will refer to a subalgebra of ; unless otherwise stated, it will not be assumed to contain I or to be closed in any topology.An algebra is said to be transitive if it has no non-trivial invariant subspaces. The following lemma has revolutionized the study of transitive algebras. For a pr∞f and a general discussion of its implications, the reader is referred to [5].

Let be a fixed separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let () denote the algebra of all (bounded, linear) operators on . The ideal of all compact operators on will be denoted by and the canonical quotient map from () onto the Calkin algebra ()/ will be denoted by π.Some open problems in the theory of extensions of C*-algebras (cf. [1]) have recently motivated an increasing interest in the class of all operators in () whose self-commuta tor is compact.

Let H be a Hilbert space and let B denote the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators on H with K denoting the closed ideal of compact operators in B. If T ∈ B, σ(T) and r(T) will denote the spectrum and spectral radius of T, respectively, and π the canonical mapping of B onto the Calkin algebra B/K.

For each natural number n we define to be the class of all weakly closed algebras of (bounded linear) operators on a separable Hilbert space H such that the lattice of invariant subspaces of and (alg lat )(n) are the same. (If A is an operator, A(n) denotes the direct sum of n copies of A; if is a collection of operators,. Also, alg lat denotes the algebra of all operators leaving all invariant subspaces of invariant.) In the first section we show that . In Section 2 we prove that every weakly closed algebra containing a maximal abelian self adjoint algebra (m.a.s.a.) is , and that . It is also shown that certain algebras containing a m.a.s.a. are necessarily reflexive.

Let H be a separable complex Hilbert space and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let π be the quotient mapping from B(H) onto the Calkin algebra B(H)/K(H), where K(H) denotes all compact operators on B(H). An operator T ∈ B(H) is said to be convexoid[14] if the closure of its numerical range W(T) coincides with the convex hull co σ(T) of its spectrum σ(T). T ∈ B(H) is said to be essentially normal, essentially G1, or essentially convexoid if π(T) is normal, G1 or convexoid in B(H)/K(H) respectively.

Let H be a separable, infinite dimensional complex Hilbert space, and let B(H) denote the algebra of all bounded linear operators on H. Let K(H) denote the ideal of compact operators on H. For any compact operator A let |A|=(A*A)1,2 and S1(A), s2(A),… be the eigenvalues of |A| in decreasing order and repeatedaccording to multiplicity. If, for some 1<p<∞, si(A)p <∞, we say that A is in the Schatten p-class Cp and ∥A∥p=1/p is the p-norm of A. Hence, C1 is the trace class, C2 is the Hilbert–Schmidt class, and C∞ is the ideal of compact operators K(H).

H will denote a Hilbert space of infinite dimension, ℬ(H) the algebra of bounded linear operators on H, and ℛ(H) the ideal of compact operators on H. We let σ, σe and σω denote the spectrum, essential spectrum and Weyl spectrum respectively. It is well known that for arbitrary T ∈ ℬ(H) we have by [5]andand

AbstractLetB(H) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert spaceHand 𝓐 ⊆B(H) be a von Neumann algebra with no central summands of typeI1. ForA,B∈ 𝓐, define byA∙B=AB+BA∗a new product ofAandB. In this article, it is proved that a map Φ: 𝓐 →B(H) satisfies Φ(A∙B∙C) = Φ(A) ∙B∙C+A∙ Φ(B) ∙C+A∙B∙Φ(C) for allA,B,C∈ 𝓐 if and only if Φ is an additive *-derivation.

AbstractGiven a strongly continuous semigroup of isometries ∪ acting on a Hilbert space ℋ, we construct an E0-semigroup α∪, the free E0-semigroup over ∪, acting on the algebra of all bounded linear operators on full Fock space over ℋ. We show how the semigroup αU⊗V can be regarded as the free product of α∪ and αV. In the case where U is pure of multiplicity n, the semigroup au, called the Free flow of rank n, is shown to be completely spatial with Arveson index +∞. We conclude that each of the free flows is cocycle conjugate to the CAR/CCR flow of rank +∞.
