AbstractIf A is a norm closed algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space and if its Jacobson radical J(A) consists of all quasinilpotent operators in A then A/ J(A) is commutative. The result is not valid for a general algebra of polynomially compact operators.

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.

If is a collection of operators on the complex Hilbert space , then the lattice of all subspaces of which are invariant under every operator in is denoted by Lat . An algebra of operators on is defined (3; 4) to be reflexive if for every operator B on the inclusion Lat ⊆ Lat B implies .Arveson (1) has proved the following theorem. (The abbreviation “m.a.s.a.” stands for “maximal abelian self-adjoint algebra”.)ARVESON's THEOREM. Ifis a weakly closed algebra which contains an m.a.s.a.y and if Lat, then is the algebra of all operators on .A generalization of Arveson's Theorem was given in (3). Another generalization is Theorem 2 below, an equivalent form of which is Corollary 3. This theorem was motivated by the following very elementary proof of a special case of Arveson's Theorem.

A collection of subspaces of a Hilbert space is called a nest if it is totally ordered by inclusion. The set of all bounded linear operators leaving invariant each member of a given nest forms a weakly-closed algebra, called a nest algebra. Nest algebras were introduced by J. R. Ringrose in [9]. The present paper is concerned with generating nest algebras as weakly-closed algebras, and in particular with the following question which was first raised by H. Radjavi and P. Rosenthal in [8], viz: Is every nest algebra on a separable Hilbert space generated, as a weakly-closed algebra, by two operators? That the answer to this question is affirmative is proved by first reducing the problem using the main result of [8] and then by using a characterization of nests due to J. A. Erdos [2].

The quantum mechanics of a particle moving on a pseudosphere under the action of a constant magnetic field is studied from an algebraic point of view. The magnetic group on the pseudosphere is SU(1, 1). The Hilbert space for the discrete part of the spectrum is investigated. The eigenstates of the non-compact operators (the hyperbolic magnetic translators) are constructed and shown to be expressible as continuous superpositions of coherent states. The planar limit of both the algebra and the eigenstates is analyzed. Some possible applications are briefly outlined.
