C*-Bundles for Certain Liminal C*-Algebras

It is shown that certain liminal C*-algebras whose limit sets in their primitive ideal space are discrete can be described as algebras of continuous sections of a C*-bundle associated with them. Their multiplier algebras are also described in a similar manner. The class of C*-algebras under discussion includes all the liminal C*-algebras with Hausdorff primitive ideal spaces but also many other liminal algebras. A large sub-class of examples is examined in detail.      

On C*-quasiregular semigroups *

In this paper, we introduce an important subclass of quasiregular semigroups, namely the class of C^*-quasiregular semigroups. This class of semigroups contains the classes of Clifford semigroups, quasi Clifford semigroups, C-quasiregular semigroups and their generalizations as its subclasses. Some characterization theorems for such semigroups are obtained. The structure of this kind of quasiregular semigroups is investigated by using the generalized ?-product of some semigroups on a semilattice Y. Construction techniques of such classes of semigroups are particularly demonstrated.     

C *-Ternary 3-Homomorphisms on C *-Ternary Algebras

In this paper, we investigate the Ulam-Hyers stability of C ^*-ternary algebra 3-homomorphisms for the functional equation $$f(x_1 + x_2 + x_3, y_1 + y_2 + y_3, z_1 + z_2 + z_3) = \sum_{1\leq i,j,k\leq 3} f(x_i, y_j, z_k)$$ in C ^*-ternary algebras.     

Asymptotic Homomorphisms of C *-Algebras and C *-Extensions

We present a brief introduction to two theories in the category of C ^*-algebras—theory of asymptotic homomorphisms and theory of extensions—and explain how these theories are related to each other.     

Hilbert C*-Modules over Monotone Complete C*-Algebras

The aim of the present paper is to describe self-duality and C*-reflexivity of Hilbert A-modules ?? over monotone complete C*-algebras A by the completeness of the unit ball of ?? with respect to two types of convergence being defined, and by a structural criterion. The derived results generalize earlier results ofH. Widom [Duke Math. J. 23, 309-324, MR 17 # 1228] and W. L. Paschke [Trans. Amer. Mat. Soc. 182 , 443-468, MR 50 # 8087, Canadian J. Math. 26, 1272-1280, MR 57 # 10433]. For Hilbert C*-modules over commutative AW*-algebras the equivalence of the self-duality property and of the Kaplansky-Hilbert property is reproved, (cf. M. Ozawa [J. Math. Soc. Japan 36, 589-609, MR 85 # 46068]). Especially, one derives that for a C*-algebra A the A-valued inner product of every Hilbert A-module ?? can be continued to an A-valued inner product on it's A-dual Banach A-module ??' turning ??' to a self-dual Hilbert A-module if and only if A is monotone complete (or, equivalently, additively complete) generalizing a result of M. Hamana [Internat. J. Math. 3 (1992), 185 - 204]. A classification of countably generated self-dual Hilbert A-modules over monotone complete C*-algebras A is established. The set of all bounded module operators End ′(??) on self-dual Hilbert A-modules ?? over monotone complete C*-algebras A is proved again to be a monotone complete C*-algebra. Applying these results a Weyl-Berg type theorem is proved.     

On C *-Extreme Maps and *-Homomorphisms of a Commutative C *-Algebra

The generalized state space of a commutative C^*-algebra, denoted , is the set of positive unital maps from C(X) to the algebra of bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space . C^*-convexity is one of several non-commutative analogs of convexity which have been discussed in this context. In this paper we show that a C^*-extreme point of satisfies a certain spectral condition on the operators in the range of the associated positive operator-valued measure. This result enables us to show that C^*-extreme maps from C(X) into , the algebra generated by the compact and scalar operators, are multiplicative. This generalizes a result of D. Farenick and P. Morenz. We then determine the structure of these maps. This paper constitutes a part of the author’s Ph.D. thesis at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.     

C*-Categories

The purpose of this paper is to give a detailed study of thebasic theory of C^*-categories. The study includes some examplesof C^*-categories that occur naturally in geometric applications,such as groupoid C^*-categories, and C^*-categories associatedto structures in coarse geometry. We conclude the paper witha brief survey of Hilbert modules over C^*-categories. 2000 MathematicalSubject Classification: 18D99, 46L05, 46L08.     

Twisted bounded-dilation group C*-algebras as C*-metric algebras

We construct a class of C~*-metric algebras. We prove that for a discrete group Γ with a 2-cocycle σ,the closure of the seminorm ||[M?, ·]|| on Cc(Γ, σ) is a Leibniz Lip-norm on the twisted reduced group C~*-algebra C*r(Γ, σ) for the pointwise multiplication operator M?on ?2(Γ), induced by a proper length function ? on Γ with the property of bounded θ-dilation. Moreover, the compact quantum metric space structures depend only on the cohomology class of 2-cocycles in the Lipschitz isometric sense.     

Projectionless C*-algebras

We give a sufficient condition for a unital C*-algebra to have no nontrivial projections, and we apply this result to known examples and to free products. We also show how questions of existence of projections relate to the norm-connectedness of certain sets of operators.

     

Hopf C*-Algebras

In this paper we define and study Hopf C^*-algebras. Roughlyspeaking, a Hopf C^*-algebra is a C^*-algebra A with a comultiplication: A M(A A) such that the maps a b (a)(1 b) and a (a 1)(b)have their range in A A and are injective after being extendedto a larger natural domain, the Haagerup tensor product A _hA. In a purely algebraic setting, these conditions on are closelyrelated to the existence of a counit and antipode. In this topologicalcontext, things turn out to be much more subtle, but neverthelessone can show the existence of a suitable counit and antipodeunder these conditions. The basic example is the C^*-algebra C₀(G) of continuous complexfunctions tending to zero at infinity on a locally compact groupwhere the comultiplication is obtained by dualizing the groupmultiplication. But also the reduced group C^*-algebra of a locally compact group with thewell-known comultiplication falls in this category. In factall locally compact quantum groups in the sense of Kustermansand the first author (such as the compact and discrete ones)as well as most of the known examples are included. This theory differs from other similar approaches in that thereis no Haar measure assumed. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 46L65, 46L07, 46L89.
