Serre-Swan Theorem for non commutative C∗-algebras

Serre-Swan theorem for non-commutative C∗-algebras. Revised edition

We generalize the Serre-Swan theorem to non-commutative C∗algebras. For a Hilbert C∗-module X over a C∗-algebra A, we introduce a hermitian vector bundle EX associated to X . We show that there is a linear subspace ΓX of the space of all holomorphic sections of EX and a flat connection D on EX with the following properties: (i) ΓX is a Hilbert A-module with the action of A defined by D, (ii) th...

Absolutely Summing Operators on Non Commutative C-algebras and Applications

Let E be a Banach space that does not contain any copy of l and A be a non commutative C∗-algebra. We prove that every absolutely summing operator from A into E∗ is compact, thus answering a question of Pe lczynski. As application, we show that if G is a compact metrizable abelian group and Λ is a Riesz subset of its dual then every countably additiveA∗-valued measure with bounded variation and...

Non-Commutative Dimension for C*-Algebras

Commutative Group Algebras

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. If G is a group, then one can form the group algebra of G over R which we shall denote by R[G]. One can then ask the basic question, how much information about the group G can be deduced from the F-algebra R[G]7 A slightly different formulation is to assume that G and //are groups with R[G] isomorphic to R[H] as /^-algebras and to ask what relations ex...
