Hilbert C*-Modules: A Toolkit for Operator Algebraists

by E. Christopher Lance

Overview

The theory of these modules together with their bounded and unbounded operators is not only rich and attractive in its own right but forms an infrastructure for some of the most important research topics in operator algebra. This book provides a clear and unified exposition of the main techniques and results in this area, including a substantial amount of new and unpublished material. Graduate students and researchers working in operator algebras will welcome this book as an excellent resource.
