Tomita's Lectures on Observable Algebras in Hilbert Space

​This book is devoted to the study of Tomita's observable algebras, their structure and applications.
It begins by building the foundations of the theory of T*-algebras and CT*-algebras, presenting the major results and investigating the relationship between the operator and vector representations of a CT*-algebra. It is then shown via the representation theory of locally convex*-algebras that this theory includes Tomita–Takesaki theory as a special case; every observable algebra can be rega...
