An ultrahigh-resolution colocalization method based on the simultaneous acquisition and analysis of spectrally separated images of the excitation point-spread function of point-like fluorescent probes is reviewed. It is shown that molecular distances can be measured with accuracy better than 10 nm using conventional far-field optics. A detailed account of the methodology, theoretical considerat...

Characterisations of those separable C∗-algebras that have type I injective envelopes or W∗-algebra injective envelopes are presented. An operator system I is injective if for every inclusion E ⊂ F of operator systems each completely positive linear map ω : E → I has a completely positive extension to F . An injective envelope of an operator system E is an injective operator system I such that ...

Let A be a simple separable unital C*-algebra satisfying the UCT, and assume that A has finite decomposition rank. Let Q denote the UHF algebra with K0(Q) = Q. Then A⊗Q can be tracially approximated by unital Elliott-Thomsen algebras, and therefore A ⊗ Z is an ASH algebra (hence classifiable), where Z is the Jiang-Su algebra.

We prove that under a mild hypothesis, the infinite tensor power of a unital separable C∗-algebra absorbs the Jiang–Su algebra Z tensorially. Combining this result with a recent theorem of Winter, we complete Elliott’s classification program for strongly self-absorbing ASH algebras. We also give a succinct universal property for Z in an ambient category so large that there are no unital separab...

We characterize the category of injective *-homomorphisms between commutative C*-subalgebras of various C*-algebras, namely C*-algebras of operators on separable Hilbert spaces, any finite-dimensional C*-algebra, and any commutative C*-algebra.

It has been a longstanding problem whether every amenable operator algebra is isomorphic to a (necessarily nuclear) C∗-algebra. In this note, we give a nonseparable counterexample. The existence of a separable counterexample remains an open problem.

We prove an analogue of Voiculescu’s theorem: Relative bicommutant of a separable unital subalgebra A of an ultraproduct of simple unital C*-algebras is equal to A. Ultrapowers1 AU of separable algebras are, being subject to well-developed model-theoretic methods, reasonably well-understood (see e.g. [9, Theorem 1.2] and §2). Since the early 1970s and the influential work of McDuff and Connes c...

Separable Bayesian Networks, or the Influence Model, are dynamic Bayesian Networks in which the conditional probability distribution can be separated into a function of only the marginal distribution of a node’s parents, instead of the joint distributions. We describe the connection between an arbitrary Conditional Probability Table (CPT) and separable systems using linear algebra. We give an a...

We show that the image of a commutative monotone sequentially complete C∗-algebra, under a sequentially normal morphism, is again a monotone sequentially complete C-algebra, and also a monotone sequentially closed C∗-subalgebra. As a consequence, the image of an algebra of this type, under a sequentially normal representation in a separable Hilbert space, is strongly closed. In the case of a un...
