In this paper we define an order structure on the $p$-operator projective tensor product of Herz algebras and we show that the canonical isometric isomorphism between $A_p(Gtimes H)$ and $A_p(G)widehat{otimes}^p A_p(H)$ is an order isomorphism for amenable groups $G$ and $H$.

We generalize Feigin and Miwa’s construction of extended vertex operator (super)algebras Ak(sl(2)) for other types of simple Lie algebras. For all the constructed extended vertex operator (super)algebras, irreducible modules are classified, complete reducibility of every module is proved and fusion rules are determined modulo the fusion rules for vertex operator algebras of affine type.

Given a directed graph, there exists a universal operator algebra and universal C∗-algebra associated to the directed graph. For finite graphs this algebra decomposes as the universal free product of some building block operator algebras. For countable directed graphs, the universal operator algebras arise as direct limits of operator algebras of finite subgraphs. Finally, a method for computin...

A left ideal of any C∗-algebra is an example of an operator algebra with a right contractive approximate identity (r.c.a.i.). Indeed, left ideals in C∗-algebras may be characterized as the class of such operator algebras, which happen also to be triple systems. Conversely, we show here and in a sequel to this paper, that operator algebras with r.c.a.i. should be studied in terms of a certain le...

Notice that the left-hand side of the third equation is the sum of the left-hand sides of the first two. As a result, no solution to the system exists unless a + b = c. But if a + b = c, then any solution of the first two equations is also a solution of the third; and in any linear system involving more unknowns than equations, solutions, when they exist, are never unique. In the present case, ...
