Discretized CCR algebrasWe discuss how the canonical commutation relations must be modified in order to make appropriate numerical models of quantum systems. The C*-algebras associated with the discretized CCRs are the…William Arveson·Nov 30, 1992SaveLearn
Non-commutative spheres and numerical quantum mechanicsWe discuss some basic issues that arise when one attempts to model quantum mechanical systems on a computer, and we describe the mathematical structure of the resulting discretized cannonical…William Arveson·Nov 30, 1992SaveLearn
Free products of hyperfinite von Neumann algebras and free dimensionThe free product of an arbitrary pair of finite hyperfinite von Neumann algebras is examined, and the result is determined to be the direct sum of a finite dimensional algebra and an interpolated…Ken Dykema·Nov 28, 1992SaveLearn
Interpolated free group factorsThe interpolated free group factors L(Fr), 1 < r <= ∞, are defined and proofs of their properties with respect to compression by projections and taking free products are proved. Hence it…Ken Dykema·Nov 28, 1992SaveLearn
On certain free product factors via an extended matrix modelVoiculescu's random matrix model for freeness is extended to the non-Gaussian case and also the case of constant block diagonal matrices. Thus we are able to investigate free products of free…Ken Dykema·Nov 28, 1992SaveLearn
Spectral Invariance of Dense Subalgebras of Operator AlgebrasWe define the notion of strong spectral invariance for a dense Frechet subalgebra A of a Banach algebra B. We show that if A is strongly spectral invariant in a C*-algebra B, and G is a compactly…Larry B. Schweitzer·Nov 27, 1992SaveLearn
Dense m-convex Frechet Subalgebras of Operator Algebra Crossed Products by Lie GroupsLet A be a dense Frechet *-subalgebra of a C*-algebra B. (We do not require Frechet algebras to be m-convex.) Let G be a Lie group, not necessarily con- nected, which acts on both A and B by…Larry B. Schweitzer·Nov 27, 1992SaveLearn
An analytic structure emerging in presence of infinitely many odd coordinatesThis is a contribution to the program of featuring even geometry as a ``collective effect in infinite-dimensional odd geometry,'' as suggested by Manin. We show that the (Gel'fand)…Vladimir G. Pestov·Nov 27, 1992SaveLearn
Representable K-theory of Smooth Crossed Products by R and ZWe show that the Thom isomorphism and the Pimsner-Voiculescu exact sequence both hold for smooth crossed products of Frechet algebras by R and Z respectively. We also obtain the same results for…N. Christopher Phillips, Larry B. Schweitzer·Nov 25, 1992SaveLearn
A Non-Spectral Dense Banach Subalgebra of the Irrational Rotation AlgebraWe give an example of a dense, simple, unital Banach subalgebra A of the irrational rotation C*-algebra B, such that A is not a spectral subalgebra of B. This answers a question posed in T.W.…Larry B. Schweitzer·Nov 25, 1992SaveLearn
A Short Proof that Mn(A) is local if A is local and FréchetWe give a short and very general proof of the fact that the property of a dense Fréchet subalgebra of a Banach algebra being local, or closed under the holomorphic functional calculus in the Banach…Larry B. Schweitzer·Nov 25, 1992SaveLearn
Approximately Finite C*-Algebras and Partial AutomorphismsWe prove that every AF-algebra is isomorphic to a crossed product of a commutative AF-algebra by a partial automorphism. The case of UHF-algebras is treated in detail.Ruy Exel·Nov 24, 1992SaveLearn
Improper filtrations for C*-algebras: spectra of unilateral tridiagonal operatorsWe extend the results of our previous paper "C*-algebras and numerical linear algebra" to cover the case of "unilateral" sections. This situation bears a close resemblance to the case…William Arveson·Nov 23, 1992SaveLearn
C*-algebras and numerical linear algebraWe consider problems associated with the computation of spectra of self-adjoint operators in terms of the eigenvalue distributions of their n x n sections. Under rather general circumstances, we show…William Arveson·Nov 22, 1992SaveLearn
Circle Actions on C*-Algebras, Partial Automorphisms and a Generalized Pimsner-Voiculescu Exact SequenceWe introduce a method to study C*-algebras possessing an action of the circle group, from the point of view of its internal structure and its K-theory. Under relatively mild conditions our structure…Ruy Exel·Nov 22, 1992SaveLearn
Extremal Selections of Multifunctions Generating a Continuous FlowLet F:[0,T]×n 2^n be a continuous multifunction with compact, not necessarily convex values. In this paper, we prove that, if F satisfies the following Lipschitz Selection…Alberto Bressan, Graziano Crasta·Sep 9, 1992SaveLearn

Nonstandard hulls of Banach-Lie groups and algebrasWe propose a new construction of Banach-Lie groups and algebras relying on nonstandard analysis. A major standard application is the Local Theorem which to certain extent reduces the problem of…Vladimir G. Pestov·May 19, 1992SaveLearn
