Partial Representations and Amenable Fell Bundles over Free GroupsWe show that a Fell bundle B = Btt ∈ F, over an arbitrary free group F, is amenable, whenever it is orthogonal (in the sense that Bx* By = 0, if x and y are distinct generators of F) and…Ruy Exel·Jun 17, 1997SaveLearn

On the index and dilations of completely positive semigroupsIt is known that every semigroup of normal completely positive maps P = Pt: t≥ 0 of B(H), satisfying Pt(1) = 1 for every t≥ 0, has a minimal dilation to an E0-semigroup acting on…William Arveson·May 25, 1997SaveLearn
The index of a quantum dynamical semigroupA numerical index is introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps of B(H) which generalizes the index of E0-semigroups. It is shown that the index of a unital completely positive…William Arveson·May 25, 1997SaveLearn
Pure E0-semigroups and absorbing statesAn E0-semigroup acting on B(H) is called pure if the intersection of the ranges αt(B(H)), t>0, is the algebra of scalars. We determine all pure E0-semigroups which have a weakly continuous…William Arveson·May 25, 1997SaveLearn

KMS-weights on C*-algebrasIn this paper, we build a solid framework for KMS-weights on C*-algebras. We use another definition than the one introduced by Combes, but prove that they are equivalent.Johan Kustermans·Apr 29, 1997SaveLearn
Covariant Sectors with Infinite Dimension and Positivity of the EnergyWe consider a Moebius covariant sector, possibly with infinite dimension, of a local conformal net of von Neumann algebras on the circle.
