A Noncommutative Convexity in C ∗ - Bimodules
نویسنده
چکیده
Let A and B be C∗-algebras. We consider a noncommutative convexity in Hilbert A -B-bimodules, called A -B-convexity, as a generalization of C∗-convexity in C∗-algebras. We show that if X is a Hilbert A -B-bimodule, then Mn(X ) is a Hilbert Mn(A )-Mn(B)-bimodule and apply it to show that the closed unit ball of every Hilbert A -B-bimodule is A -B-convex. Some properties of this kind of convexity and various examples have been given.

C∗-algebras Associated with Real Multiplication
Noncommutative tori with real multiplication are the irrational rotation algebras that have special equivalence bimodules. Y. Manin proposed the use of noncommutative tori with real multiplication as a geometric framework for the study of abelian class field theory of real quadratic fields. In this paper, we consider the Cuntz-Pimsner algebras constructed by special equivalence bimodules of irr...
متن کاملGauge-equivariant Hilbert bimodules and crossed products by endomorphisms
C*-algebra endomorphisms arising from superselection structures with non-trivial centre define a ’rank’ and a ’first Chern class’. Crossed products by such endomorphisms involve the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of a vector bundle having the above-mentioned rank and first Chern class, and can be used to construct a duality for abstract (nonsymmetric) tensor categories vs. group bundles acting on (nonsy...
متن کاملMorita Equivalence, Picard Groupoids and Noncommutative Field Theories
In this article we review recent developments on Morita equivalence of star products and their Picard groups. We point out the relations between noncommutative field theories and deformed vector bundles which give the Morita equivalence bimodules.
متن کاملGabor Analysis, Noncommutative Tori and Feichtinger's Algebra
We point out a connection between Gabor analysis and noncommutative analysis. Especially, the strong Morita equivalence of noncommutative tori appears as underlying setting for Gabor analysis, since the construction of equivalence bimodules for noncommutative tori has a natural formulation in the notions of Gabor analysis. As an application we show that Feichtinger’s algebra is such an equivale...
متن کاملW *-algebras and noncommutative integration
This text is a detailed overview of the theories of W *-algebras and noncommutative integration, up to the Falcone–Takesaki theory of noncommutative Lp spaces over arbitraryW *-algebras. The topics under consideration include the Tomita–Takesaki modular theory, the relative modular theory (featuring bimodules, spatial quotients, and canonical representation), the theory ofW *-dynamical systems ...
