$\sigma$-weakly closed modules of certain reflexive operator algebras

Derivations of Certain Operator Algebras

Let be a nest and let be a subalgebra of L(H) containing all rank one operators of alg . We give several conditions under which any derivation δ from into L(H) must be inner. The conditions include (1) H− ≠H, (2) 0+ ≠ 0, (3) there is a nontrivial projection in which is in , and (4) δ is norm continuous. We also give some applications.

Some Problems concerning Reflexive Operator Algebras

We discuss below some problems concerning a certain class of algebras of operators on complex Banach space. Each algebra of the class arises from a lattice of subspaces of the underlying space (in a way that will soon be made precise) and most of the problems are of the fonn: find conditions, additional to those specified a priori, on the lattice of subspaces, which are both necessary and suffi...

Derivations and Automorphisms of Certain Operator Algebras

Certain Free Products of Graph Operator Algebras

We develop a notion of a generalized Cuntz-Krieger family of projections and partial isometries where the range of the partial isometries need not have trivial intersection. We associate to these generalized Cuntz-Krieger families a directed graph, with a coloring function on the edge set. We call such a directed graph an edge-colored directed graph. We then study the C∗algebras and the non-sel...

Fredholm Modules over Certain Group C*-algebras

Motivated by the search for new examples of “noncommutative manifolds”, we study the noncommutative geometry of the group C*-algebras of various discrete groups. The examples we consider are the infinite dihedral group Z×σZ2 and the semidirect product group Z×σZ. We present a unified treatment of the K-homology and cyclic cohomology of these algebras.
