Locally Convex Quasi *-Algebras of Operators

This note is mainly concerned with locally convex quasi C*-normed *-algebras which arise as completions of C*-algebras of operators under certain topologies. Their importance is made clear by the representation theory of abstract locally convex quasi C*-normed *-algebras, investigated in previous papers and whose basic aspects are also overviewed here.     

On action of diffeomorphisms of C*-algebras on derivations

In this paper we consider automorphisms of the domains of closed *-derivations of C*-algebras and show that they extend to automorphisms of C*-algebras, so we call them diffeomorphisms. The diffeomorphisms generate transformations of the sets of closed *-derivations of C*-algebras. In this paper we study the subgroups of diffeomorphisms that define “bounded” shifts of derivations and the subgroups of the stabilizers of derivations.     

On integral representations of linear forms

Starting from a given *-algebra, we consider integral representations of positive linear forms on the hermitian spectrum of the algebra, providing necessary and sufficient conditions theorem. This specializes to previous results of R. S. Bucy—G. Maltese and G. Maltese for Banach *-algebras, and M. Fragoulopoulou for Imc *-algebras.     

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.)

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.
