Lectures on Operator Theory / Edition 1

by B. V. Rajarama Bhat, Peter A. Fillmore, George A. Elliott

Overview

This book resulted from the lectures held at The Fields Institute (Waterloo, ON, Canada). Leading international experts presented current results on the theory of $C^*$-algebras and von Neumann algebras, together with recent work on the classification of $C^*$-algebras. Much of the material in the book is appearing here for the first time and is not available elsewhere in the literature.

Editorial Reviews

The 34 chapters consider C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras, classification of C*-algebras, and hereditary subalgebras of certain simple non real rank zero C*-algebras. Topics include K-theory, crossed products, the Tomita-Takesaki theory, free products of von Neumann algebras, simple AI-algebras and the range of the invariant, the isomorphism theorem, the Kauffman-Lins recoupling theory, and relations to minimal models and subfactors. The volume is based for the most part on lectures given at a program held during the year 1994-1995 in Waterloo, Ontario. No index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
