One of the most important auxiliary objects associated with an operator algebra is its state space. The two books under review describe the authors’ solutions, obtained together with H. Hanche-Olsen and B. Iochum [1], [2], [9], to the problems: What data must be added to a state space so that the operator algebra can be recovered? and Which convex sets can arise as state spaces? As that work is...

We extend classical results of Kostant and al. on multiplets of representations of finite-dimensional Lie algebras and on the cubic Dirac operator to the setting of affine Lie algebras and twisted affine cubic Dirac operator. We prove in this setting an analogue of Vogan’s conjecture on infinitesimal characters of Harish–Chandra modules in terms of Dirac cohomology. For our calculations we use ...

We present the analytic foundation of a unified B-D-F extension functor Extr on the category of noncommutative smooth algebras, for any Fréchet operator ideal ^ . Combining the techniques devised by Arveson and Voiculescu, we generalize Voiculescu's theorem to smooth algebras and Fréchet operator ideals. A key notion involved is r-smoothness, which is verified for the algebras of smooth functio...

Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C-algebra associated to the directed graph. In this paper we give intrinsic constructions of these objects. We provide an explicit construction for the maximal C-algebra of an operator algebra. We also discuss uniqueness of the universal algebras for finite graphs, showing that for finite graphs the graph is an isom...

We search for pseudo-differential operators acting on holomorphic Sobolev spaces. The should mirror the standard mapping property in analogues. setting is a closed real-analytic Riemannian manifold, or Lie group with bi-invariant metric, and spaces are defined fixed Grauert tube about core manifold. find that every operator commutant of Laplacian this kind. Moreover, so all certain analytic ope...

An algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space is called strongly compact whenever each of its bounded subsets is relatively compact in the strong operator topology. The concept is most commonly studied for two algebras associated with a single operator T : the algebra alg(T ) generated by the operator, and the operator’s commutant com(T ). This paper focuses on the strong compactnes...

This paper addresses the isomorphism problem for the universal operator algebras generated by a row contraction subject to homogeneous polynomial relations. We find that two such algebras are isometrically isomorphic if and only if the defining polynomial relations are the same up to a unitary change of variables, and that this happens if and only if the associated subproduct systems are isomor...

Not all planar algebras can encode the algebraic structure of a Yang--Baxter integrable model described in terms so-called homogeneous transfer operator. In family subfactor algebras, we focus on ones known as singly generated and find that only such underlying models are relation algebras. According to result Liu, there three algebras: well-known Fuss--Catalan Birman--Wenzl--Murakami addition ...
