K-theory of toeplitzC *-algebras on Lie spheres

In this paper we compute theK-groups of theC ^*-algebra of Toeplitz operators on the Lie spheres. As a corollary we get an index theorem for Toeplitz operators with matricial symbols analogous to the index theorem of Berger, Coburn and Koranyi for Toeplitz operators with scalar valued symbols.

Enveloping Σ-C *-algebra of a smooth Frechet algebra crossed product by ℝ,K-theory and differential structure inC *-algebras

Given anm-tempered strongly continuous action α of ℝ by continuous^*-automorphisms of a Frechet^*-algebraA, it is shown that the enveloping ↡-C ^*-algebraE(S(ℝ, A^∞, α)) of the smooth Schwartz crossed productS(ℝ,A ^∞, α) of the Frechet algebra A^∞ of C^∞-elements ofA is isomorphic to the Σ-C ^*-crossed productC ^*(ℝ,E(A), α) of the enveloping Σ-C ^*-algebraE(A) ofA by the induced action. WhenA is a hermitianQ-algebra, one getsK-theory isomorphismRK _*(S(ℝ, A^∞, α)) =K ^*(C ^*(ℝ,E(A), α) for the representableK-theory of Frechet algebras. An application to the differential structure of aC ^*-algebra defined by densely defined differential seminorms is given.     

AW*-algebras Which are Enveloping C*-algebras of JC-algebras

In the given article, enveloping C*-algebras of AJW-algebras are considered. Conditions are given, when the enveloping C*-algebra of an AJW-algebra is an AW*-algebra, and corresponding theorems are proved. In particular, we proved that if $\mathcal{A}$ is a real AW*-algebra, $\mathcal{A}_{sa}$ is the JC-algebra of all self-adjoint elements of $\mathcal{A}$ , $\mathcal{A}+i\mathcal{A}$ is an AW*-algebra and $\mathcal{A}\cap i\mathcal{A} = \{0\}$ then the enveloping C*-algebra $C^*(\mathcal{A}_{sa})$ of the JC-algebra $\mathcal{A}_{sa}$ is an AW*-algebra. Moreover, if $\mathcal{A}+i\mathcal{A}$ does not have nonzero direct summands of type I₂, then $C^*(\mathcal{A}_{sa})$ coincides with the algebra $\mathcal{A}+i\mathcal{A}$ , i.e. $C^*(\mathcal{A}_{sa})= \mathcal{A}+i\mathcal{A}$ .     

Bivariant K-theory via correspondences

We use correspondences to define a purely topological equivariant bivariant K-theory for spaces with a proper groupoid action. Our notion of correspondence differs slightly from that of Connes and Skandalis. Our construction uses no special features of equivariant K-theory. To highlight this, we construct bivariant extensions for arbitrary equivariant multiplicative cohomology theories.We formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for certain duality isomorphisms in the topological bivariant K-theory and verify these conditions in some cases, including smooth manifolds with a smooth cocompact action of a Lie group. One of these duality isomorphisms reduces bivariant K-theory to K-theory with support conditions. Since similar duality isomorphisms exist in Kasparov theory, the topological and analytic bivariant K-theories agree if there is such a duality isomorphism.     

*-representations on Banach *-algebras

We study notions of -bounded linear functionals and represent-
able functionals on Banach *-algebras. An equivalence between these two is established for general Banach *-algebras. In particular, we characterize -bounded linear functionals on Banach *-algebras with approximate identity and isometric involution. In addition, we prove a result on representation of -bounded positive linear functionals in terms of cyclic vectors for the corresponding *-representation.

     

Singly generatedC *-algebras

We consider aC ^*-algebraA generated byk self-adjoint elements. We prove that, for , the algebraM _n (A) is singly generated, i.e., generated by one non-self-adjoint element. We present an example of algebraA for which the property thatM _n (A) is singly generated implies the relation . Institute of Mathematics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev.

Symmetric topological*-algebras

V. Pták's inequality is valid for every hermitian completeQ locallym-convex (:l.m.c.) algebra. Every algebra of the last kind is, in particular, symmetric. Besides, a (Hausdorff) locallyC ^*-algebra (being always symmetric) with the propertyQ is, within a topological algebraic isomorphism, aC ^*-algebra. Furthermore, a type of Raikov's criterion for symmetry is also valid for non-normed topological^*-algebras. Concerning topological tensor products, one gets that symmetry of the-completed tensor product of two unital Fréchet l.m.c.^*-algebrasE, F ( denotes the projective tensorial topology) is always passed toE, F, while the converse occurs when moreover either ofE, F is commutative.     

Ring C*-algebras

We associate reduced and full C*-algebras to arbitrary rings and study the inner structure of these ring C*-algebras. As a result, we obtain conditions for them to be purely infinite and simple. We also discuss several examples. Originally, our motivation comes from algebraic number theory.
