Let be a C∗-algebra with identity 1, and let s( ) denote the set of all states on . For p,q,r ∈ [1,∞), denote by r( ) the set of all infinite matrices A= [ajk]j,k=1 over such that the matrix (φ[A[2]]) [r] := [(φ(ajkajk))]j,k=1 defines a bounded linear operator from p to q for all φ∈ s( ). Then r( ) is a Banach algebra with the Schur product operation and norm ‖A‖ = sup{‖(φ[A[2]])‖ : φ∈ s( )}. A...

We introduce the completely positive rank, a notion of covering dimension for nuclear C *-algebras and analyze some of its properties. The completely positive rank behaves nicely with respect to direct sums, quotients, ideals and inductive limits. For abelian C *-algebras it coincides with covering dimension of the spectrum and there are similar results for continuous trace algebras. As it turn...

A classification is given of certain separable nuclear C*-algebras not necessarily of real rank zero, namely the class of simple C*-algebras which are inductive limits of continuous-trace C*-algebras whose building blocks have their spectrum homeomorphic to the interval [0, 1] or to a finite disjoint union of closed intervals. In particular, a classification of those stably AI algebras which ar...

In this paper, we generalize some results from Hilbert C*-modules to pro-C*-algebra case. We also give a new proof of the known result that l2(A) is aHilbert module over a pro-C*-algebra A.

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...

In this paper we study the properties of derivations of A B, where A and B are simple separable C*-algebras, and A B is the C*-completion of A B with respect to a C*-norm Yon A B and we will characterize the derivations of A B in terms of the derivations of A and B

We introduce and characterize a particularly tractable class of unital type 1 C*-algebras with bounded dimension of irreducible representations. Algebras in this class are called recursive subhomogeneous algebras, and they have an inductive description (through iterated pullbacks) which allows one to carry over from algebras of the form C(X,Mn) many of the constructions relevant in the study of...

We give a summary of the theory of (weak) quantum vertex C((t))algebras and the association of quantum affine algebras with (weak) quantum vertex C((t))-algebras.

We study an interesting class of Banach function algebras of innitely dierentiable functions onperfect, compact plane sets. These algebras were introduced by Honary and Mahyar in 1999, calledLipschitz algebras of innitely dierentiable functions and denoted by Lip(X;M; ), where X is aperfect, compact plane set, M = fMng1n=0 is a sequence of positive numbers such that M0 = 1 and(m+n)!Mm+n ( m!Mm)...

We prove that if a conditional expectation from a simple C∗-algebra onto its C∗-subalgebra satisfies the Pimsner-Popa inequality, there exists a quasibasis. As an application, we establish the Galois correspondence for outer actions of finite groups (and more generally finite dimensional Kac algebras) on simple C∗algebras. We also introduce the notion of sectors for stable simple C∗-algebras an...
