B. Magajna and J. Schweizer showed in 1997 and 1999, respectively, that C*-algebras of compact operators can be characterized by the property that every norm-closed (and coinciding with its biorthogonal complement, resp.) submodule of every Hilbert C*-module over them is automatically an orthogonal summand. We find out further generic properties of the category of Hilbert C*-modules over C*-alg...

We construct an example of a Hilbert $$C^*$$ -module which shows that Troitsky’s theorem on the geometric essence $$ {\mathcal A} -compact operators between -modules cannot be extended to modules are not countably generated case (even in stronger uniform structure, is also introduced). In addition, constructed module admits no frames.

We initiate a study of Hilbert modules over the polynomial algebra A = C[z1, . . . , zd] that are obtained by completing A with respect to an inner product having certain natural properties. A standard Hilbert module is a finite multiplicity version of one of these. Standard Hilbert modules occupy a position analogous to that of free modules of finite rank in commutative algebra, and their quot...

A C-linear map θ (not necessarily bounded) between two Hilbert C-modules is said to be ‘orthogonality preserving’ if 〈θ(x), θ(y)〉 = 0 whenever 〈x, y〉 = 0. We prove that if θ is an orthogonality preserving map from a full Hilbert C0()-module E into another Hilbert C0()-module F that satisfies a weaker notion of C0()-linearity (called ‘localness’), then θ is bounded and there exists φ ∈ Cb()+...
