Strictly irreducible $\sp{\ast} $-representations of Banach $\sp{\ast} $-algebras

amenability of banach algebras

chapters 1 and 2 establish the basic theory of amenability of topological groups and amenability of banach algebras. also we prove that. if g is a topological group, then r (wluc (g)) (resp. r (luc (g))) if and only if there exists a mean m on wluc (g) (resp. luc (g)) such that for every wluc (g) (resp. every luc (g)) and every element d of a dense subset d od g, m (r)m (f) holds. chapter 3 inv...

Irreducible Representations of Operator Algebras

Abelian topological groups without irreducible Banach representations

We exhibit abelian topological groups admitting no nontrivial strongly continuous irreducible representations in Banach spaces. Among them are some abelian Banach–Lie groups and some monothetic subgroups of the unitary group of a separable Hilbert space.

Irreducible Representations of Twisted Multiloop Algebras

We describe the finite-dimensional simple modules of all the twisted multiloop algebras and classify them up to isomorphism.

Constructing Irreducible Representations of Finitely Presented Algebras

We describe an algorithmic test, using the “standard polynomial identity” (and elementary computational commutative algebra), for determining whether or not a finitely presented associative algebra has an irreducible n-dimensional representation. When ndimensional irreducible representations do exist, our proposed procedure can (in principle) produce explicit constructions.
