Multipliers and duality in $A\sp{\ast} $-algebras

Multipliers in d-algebras

BCK and BCI-algebras, two classes of algebras of logic, were introduced by Imai and Iseki [1], Iseki [2] and Iseki and Tanaka [3] and have been extensively studied by various other researchers [4, 5]. It is known that the class of BCK-algebras is a proper subclass of the class of BCI-algebras. In [6, 7] a wider class of abstract algebras was introduced by Q.P.Hu and X.Li.They have shown that th...

Multipliers and Dual Operator Algebras

In a previous paper we showed how the main theorems characterizing operator algebras and operator modules, fit neatly into the framework of the ‘noncommutative Shilov boundary’, and more particularly via the left multiplier operator algebra of an operator space. As well as giving new characterization theorems, the approach of that paper allowed many of the hypotheses of the earlier theorems to ...

Duality and Operator Algebras

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the du-ality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are always weak *-continuous on dual operator spaces. For example , if X is a subspace of a C *-algebra A, and if a ∈ A satisfies aX ⊂ X and a * X ⊂ X, and if X i...
