Rational vertex operator algebras, which play a fundamental role in rational conformal field theory (see [BPZ] and [MS]), single out an important class of vertex operator algebras. Most vertex operator algebras which have been studied so far are rational vertex operator algebras. Familiar examples include the moonshine module V ♮ ([B], [FLM], [D2]), the vertex operator algebras VL associated wi...

We study a noncommutative (operator space) version of the ‘boundary’, and in particular the Shilov boundary, of a function space. The main idea is that Hilbert C∗−modules and their properties, which we studied earlier in the operator space framework, replace certain topological tools. We include some general notes on the ‘commutative case’ of some of the topics we discuss, coming in part from j...

Using the notion of a symmetric virtual diagonal for Banach algebra, we prove that algebra is symmetrically amenable if its second dual amenable. We introduce operator amenability in category completely contractive algebras as an analogue algebras. give some equivalent formulations and investigate hereditary properties show locally compact groups to Fourier algebra. Finally, discuss about Jorda...

We give characterizations of quasitriangular operator algebras along the line Voiculescu's characterization quasidiagonal C⁎-algebras.

This article is a further contribution to our research [1] into a class of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras L∞(N+, N−) generalizing the standard W∞ algebra, viewed as a tensor operator algebra of SU(1, 1) in a group-theoretic framework. Here we interpret L∞(N+, N−) either as a infinite continuation of pseudo-unitary symmetries U(N+, N−), or as a “higher-U(N+, N−)-spin extension” of the diffeom...

We prove that Jordan elementary surjective maps on rings are automatically additive. Elementary operators were originally introduced by Brešar and Šerml ([1]). In the last decade, elementary maps on operator algebras as well as on rings attracted more and more attentions. It is very interesting that elementary maps and Jordan elementary maps on some algebras and rings are automatically additive...
