Duality for compact group actions on operator algebras and applications: Irreducible inclusions and Galois correspondence

Duality and Operator Algebras

We investigate some subtle and interesting phenomena in the du-ality theory of operator spaces and operator algebras. In particular, we give several applications of operator space theory, based on the surprising fact that certain maps are always weak *-continuous on dual operator spaces. For example , if X is a subspace of a C *-algebra A, and if a ∈ A satisfies aX ⊂ X and a * X ⊂ X, and if X i...

Compact Quantum Group Actions on C*-algebras and Invariant Derivations

We define the notion of invariant derivation of a C*-algebra under a compact quantum group action and prove that in certain conditions, such derivations are generators of one parameter automorphism groups.

Irreducible Positive Linear Maps on Operator Algebras

Motivated by the classical results of G. Frobenius and O. Perron on the spectral theory of square matrices with nonnegative real entries, D. Evans and R. Høegh-Krohn have studied the spectra of positive linear maps on general (noncommutative) matrix algebras. The notion of irreducibility for positive maps is required for the Frobenius theory of positive maps. In the present article, irreducible...
