Positive Results

AbstractThe strongest positive results in the stability theory of C*-algebras assert that if are sufficiently close C*-subalgebras of (H) of certain kinds, then there is a unitary operator U on H near I, such that . We give examples of C*-algebras , both isomorphic to the algebra of continuous functions from [0, 1] to the algebra of compact operators on Hilbert space, which can be as close as we like, yet for which there is no isomorphism α: → with . Thus the results mentioned do not extend to these C*-algebras.

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.

Quasinilpotent Operators

For each non-empty subset Λ of the complex plane, let (Λ) be the set of all those operators (on a fixed Hilbert space H) whose spectrum is included in Λ. The problem of spectral approximation is to determine how closely each operator on H can be approximated (in the norm) by operators in (Λ). The problem appears to be connected with the stability theory of certain differential equations. (Consider the case in which Λ is the right half plane.) In its general form the problem is extraordinarily difficult. Thus, for instance, even when Λ is the singleton {0}, so that (Λ) is the set of quasinilpotent operators, the determination of the closure of (Λ) has been an open problem for several years (3, Problem 7).

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.

The Ideal

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.

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.

Positive Results

This expository lecture surveys recent progress of the stability theory in Celestial Mechanics with emphasis on the analytical problems. In particular, the old question of convergence of perturbation series are discussed and positive results obtained, in the light of the work by Kolmogorov Arnold and Moser. For the three body problem, classes of quasi-periodic solutions and doubly asymptotic (or homoclinic) orbits are discussed.

We construct stabilized $C^*$-algebras from subshifts by using the dynamical property of the symbolic dynamical systems. We prove that the construction is dynamical and the $C^*$-algebras are isomorphic to the tensor product $C^*$-algebras between the algebra of all compact operators on a separable Hilbert space and the $C^*$-algebras constructed from creation operators on sub-Fock spaces associated with the subshifts. We also prove that the gauge actions on the stabilized $C^*$-algebras are invariant for topological conjugacy as two-sided subshifts under some conditions. Hence, if two subshifts are topologically conjugate as two-sided subshifts, the associated stabilized $C^*$-algebras are isomorphic so that their K-groups are isomorphic.

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.

Weak Operator

Let U be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space [Formula: see text], and α: {1, …, m} ↦ {1, …, k} a partition of the set {1, …, m}. We show that the ergodic average [Formula: see text] converges in the weak operator topology if the Aj belong to the algebra of all the compact operators on [Formula: see text]. We write esplicitly the formula for these ergodic averages in the case of pair-partitions. Some results without any restriction on the operators Aj are also presented in the almost periodic case.
