In this paper, we introduce a notion of strongly quasi-local algebras. They are defined for each discrete metric space with bounded geometry, and sit between the Roe algebra quasilocal algebra. We show that algebras coarse invariants, hence encoding geometric information underlying spaces. prove geometry which admits embedding into Hilbert space, inclusion induces an isomorphism in $K$-theory.

In this paper we show how to produce a large number of representations of a graph C*-algebra in the space of the bounded linear operators in L2(X,μ). These representations are very concrete and, in the case of graphs that satisfy condition (K), we use our techniques to realize the associated graph C*-algebra as a subalgebra of the bounded operators in L2(R). We also show how to describe some Pe...

We continue the investigation of notions of approximate amenability that were introduced in work of the second and third authors together with R. J. Loy. It is shown that every boundedly approximately contractible Banach algebra has a bounded approximate identity, and that the Fourier algebra of the free group on two generators is not operator approximately amenable. Further examples are obtain...

Let be a C∗-algebra with identity 1, and let s( ) denote the set of all states on . For p,q,r ∈ [1,∞), denote by r( ) the set of all infinite matrices A= [ajk]j,k=1 over such that the matrix (φ[A[2]]) [r] := [(φ(ajkajk))]j,k=1 defines a bounded linear operator from p to q for all φ∈ s( ). Then r( ) is a Banach algebra with the Schur product operation and norm ‖A‖ = sup{‖(φ[A[2]])‖ : φ∈ s( )}. A...

A major obstacle in extending the theory of well-bounded operators to cover operators whose spectrum is not necessarily real has been the lack of a suitable variation norm applicable to functions defined on an arbitrary nonempty compact subset σ of the plane. In this paper we define a new Banach algebra BV (σ) of functions of bounded variation on such a set and show that the function theoretic ...

For locally compact groups Gi, i = 1, 2, · · · , n, let CB(G1, · · · , Gn) denote the Banach space of completely bounded multilinear forms on C0(G1)×· · ·×C0(Gn) in the completely bounded norm. CB(G1, · · · , Gn) has the structure of a Banach ∗-algebra under a multiplication and adjoint operation which agree with the convolution structure on the measure algebra M(G1 ×· · ·×Gn). If the Gi are al...

Here, it is observe that ΛBV (p)(σ,B), the class of functions of bounded p−Λ− variation from a non-empty compact subset σ of R into a commutative unital Banach algebra B, is a commutative unital Banach algebra. Moreover, (Λ1, ...,ΛN )∗BV (Πi=1σi,B), the class of N−variables functions of bounded p−(Λ1, ...,ΛN )∗−variation from Πi=1σi into B, is a Banach space, where σi are non-empty compact subs...

We establish a description of the maximal C*-algebra of quotients of a unital C*-algebra A as a direct limit of spaces of completely bounded bimodule homomorphisms from certain operator submodules of the Haagerup tensor product A ⊗h A labelled by the essential closed right ideals of A into A. In addition the invariance of the construction of the maximal C*-algebra of quotients under strong Mori...
