Weak-local derivations and homomorphisms on C*-algebras

We prove that every weak-local derivation on a C*-algebra is continuous, and the same conclusion remains valid for weak*-local derivations on von Neumann algebras. We further show that weak-local derivations on C*-algebras and weak*-local derivations on von Neumann algebras are derivations. We also study the connections between bilocal derivations and bilocal*-automorphism with our notions of extreme-strong-local derivations and automorphisms.     

Classes of Operator-Smooth Functions - II. Operator-Differentiable Functions

This paper studies the spaces of Gateaux and Frechet Operator Differentiable functions of a real variable and their link with the space of Operator Lipschitz functions. Apart from the standard operator norm on B(H), we consider a rich variety of spaces of Operator Differentiable and Operator Lipschitz functions with respect to symmetric operator norms. Our approach is aimed at the investigation of the interrelation and hierarchy of these spaces and of the intrinsic properties of Operator Differentiable functions. We apply the obtained results to the study of the functions acting on the domains of closed *-derivations of C*-algebras and prove that Operator Differentiable functions act on all such domains.We also obtain the following modification of this result: any continuously differentiable, Operator Lipschitz function acts on the domains of all weakly closed *-derivations of C*-algebras.     

Derivations on LMC*-Algebras

It is shown that derivations on LMC*-algebras are always continuous and generate a continuous one-parameter group of automorphisms. The structure of the derivation and the automorphism group on LMC*-algebras is investigated.     

Unbounded derivations in operator algebras

Unbounded derivations in uniformly hyperfinite C¹-algebras will be studied. Various conditions, under which normal ¹-derivations in the C¹-algebras can be extended to the infinitesimal generators of the approximately inner strongly continuous one-parameter subgroups of ¹-automorphisms on the algebras, will be given.     

STABILITY AND SUPERSTABILITY OF JORDAN HOMOMORPHISMS AND JORDAN DERIVATIONS ON BANACH ALGEBRAS AND C~＊-ALGEBRAS： A FIXED POINT APPROACH

Using fixed point methods, we prove the Hyers-Ulam-Rassias stability and superstability of Jordan homomorphisms (Jordan *-homomorphisms), and Jordan derivations (Jordan *-derivations) on Banach algebras (C*-algebras) for the generalized Jensen-type functional equationwhere r is a fixed positive real number in (1, ∞).     

On Quasi-Chebyshevity Subsets of Unital Banach Algebras

In this paper,first,we consider closed convex and bounded subsets of infinite-dimensional unital Banach algebras and show with regard to the general conditions that these sets are not quasi-Chebyshev and pseudo-Chebyshev.Examples of those algebras are given including the algebras of continuous functions on compact sets.We also see some results in C*-algebras and Hilbert C*-modules.Next,by considering some conditions,we study Chebyshev of subalgebras in C*-algebras.

Covariant Projective Extensions

The theory of crossed products of C~*-algebras by groups of automorphisms is a well-developed area of the theory of operator algebras. Given the importance and the success ofthat theory, it is natural to attempt to extend it to a more general situation by, for example,developing a theory of crossed products of C~*-algebras by semigroups of automorphisms, or evenof endomorphisms. Indeed, in recent years a number of papers have appeared that are concernedwith such non-classical theories of covariance algebras, see, for instance [1-3].

Invariant Subspaces of Positive Quasinilpotent Operators on Ordered Banach Spaces

In this paper we find invariant subspaces of certain positive quasinilpotent operators on Krein spaces and, more generally, on ordered Banach spaces with closed generating cones. In the later case, we use the method of minimal vectors. We present applications to Sobolev spaces, spaces of differentiable functions, and C*-algebras.      

Reflexive *-derivations and lattices of invariant subspaces of operator algebras associated with them

The paper studies unbounded reflexive *-derivations δ of C*-algebras of bounded operators on Hilbert spaces H whose domains D(δ) are weekly dense in B(H and contain compact operators. It describes a one-to-one correspondence between these derivations and pairs S,L, where S are symmetric densely operators on H and L are J-orthogonal π-reflexive lattices of subspaces in the deficiency spaces of S. The domains D(δ) of these *-derivations are associated with some non-selfadjoint reflexive algebras A_δ of bounded operators on H⊕H. The paper analyzes the structure of the lattices of invariant subspaces of A_δ and of the normalizers of A_δ-the largest Lie subalgebras of B(H⊕H) such that A_δ are their Lie ideals.

LINEAR MAPPINGS THAT PRESERVE THE DERIVATIONAL STRUCTURE OF C*-ALGEBRAS

Abstract

Given a C*-algebra A and a suitable set of derivations on A, we consider the algebras A _n of n-differentiable elements of A as described in [B], before passing to an analysis of important classes of bounded linear maps between two such spaces. We show that even in this general framework, all the main features of the theory for the case C^(m)(U) → C ^(p) (V) where U and V are open balls in suitable Banach spaces, are preserved (see for example [A-G-L], [Gu-L], [Ja] and [L]). As part of the theory developed we obtain a non-trivial extension of the Kleinecke-Shirokov theorem in the category of C*-algebras to unbounded partially defined *-derivations. This indicates the existence of a single mathematical principle governing both the non-increasibility of differentiability by continuous homomorphisms and the untenability of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle for bounded observables.     

Grüss type inequalities in inner product modules

In this paper we give some properties of a generalized inner product in modules over H*-algebras and C*-algebras and we obtain inequalities of Grüss type.

     

Examples of different minimal diffeomorphisms giving the same C*-algebras

We give examples of minimal diffeomorphisms of compact connected manifolds which are not topologically orbit equivalent, but whose transformation group C*-algebras are isomorphic. The examples show that the following properties of a minimal diffeomorphism are not invariants of the transformation group C*-algebra: having topologically quasidiscrete spectrum; the action on singular cohomology (when the manifolds are diffeomorphic); the homotopy type of the manifold (when the manifolds have the same dimension); and the dimension of the manifold. These examples also give examples of nonconjugate isomorphic Cartan subalgebras, and of nonisomorphic Cartan subalgebras, of simple separable nuclear unital C*-algebras with tracial rank zero and satisfying the Universal Coefficient Theorem. The research was partially supported by the NSF grants DMS 9706850, DMS 0070776, DMS 0302401, and by the MSRI.     

A note on commutation relations and finite dimensional approximations

In this article we show that the main C*-algebras describing the canonical commutation relations of quantum physics, i.e., the Weyl and resolvent algebras, are in the class of Følner C*-algebras, a class of C*-algebras admitting a kind of finite approximations of Følner type. In particular, we show that the tracial states of the resolvent algebra are uniform locally finite dimensional.     

Crossed products by finite group actions with the Rokhlin property

We prove that a number of classes of separable unital C*-algebras are closed under crossed products by finite group actions with the Rokhlin property, including: (a) AI algebras, AT algebras, and related classes characterized by direct limit decompositions using semiprojective building blocks. (b) Simple unital AH algebras with slow dimension growth and real rank zero. (c) C*-algebras with real rank zero or stable rank one. (d) Simple C*-algebras for which the order on projections is determined by traces. (e) C*-algebras whose quotients all satisfy the Universal Coefficient Theorem. (f) C*-algebras with a unique tracial state. Along the way, we give a systematic treatment of the derivation of direct limit decompositions from local approximation conditions by homomorphic images which are not necessarily injective.     

On tracial approximation

Let C be a class of unital C*-algebras. The class TAC of C*-algebras which can be tracially approximated (in the Egorov-like sense first considered by Lin) by the C*-algebras in C is studied (Lin considered the case that C consists of finite-dimensional C*-algebras or the tensor products of such with C([0,1])). In particular, the question is considered whether, for any simple separable A∈TAC, there is a C*-algebra B which is a simple inductive limit of certain basic homogeneous C*-algebras together with C*-algebras in C, such that the Elliott invariant of A is isomorphic to the Elliott invariant of B. An interesting case of this question is answered. In the final part of the paper, the question is also considered which properties of C*-algebras are inherited by tracial approximation. (Results of this kind are obtained which are used in the proof of the main theorem of the paper, and also in the proof of the classification theorem of the second author given in [Z. Niu, A classification of tracially approximately splitting tree algebra, in preparation] and [Z. Niu, A classification of certain tracially approximately subhomogeneous C*-algebras, PhD thesis, University of Toronto, 2005]—which also uses the main result of the present paper.)

Existence of derivations on near-rings

We obtain conditions on (R,+) which force that the zero map is the only derivation on a zero-symmetric near-ring R. Throughout the paper we construct several new examples of near-rings which are not rings admitting non-zero derivations, non-zero (σ, σ)-derivations and non-zero (1, σ)-derivations.
