Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics for infinite dimensional objects is becoming more and more important today both in theory and application. Rings of operators, renamed von Neumann algebras by J. Dixmier, were first introduced by J. von Neumann fifty years ago, 1929, in [254] with his grand aim of giving a sound founda tion to mathematical sciences of infinite nature. J. von Neumann and his collaborator F. J. Murray laid down the foundation for this new field of mathematics, operator algebras, in a series of papers, [240], [241], [242], [257] and [259], during the period of the 1930s and early in the 1940s. In the introduction to this series of investigations, they stated Their solution 1 {to the problems of understanding rings of operators) seems to be essential for the further advance of abstract operator theory in Hilbert space under several aspects. First, the formal calculus with operator-rings leads to them. Second, our attempts to generalize the theory of unitary group-representations essentially beyond their classical frame have always been blocked by the unsolved questions connected with these problems. Third, various aspects of the quantum mechanical formalism suggest strongly the elucidation of this subject. Fourth, the knowledge obtained in these investigations gives an approach to a class of abstract algebras without a finite basis, which seems to differ essentially from all types hitherto investigated. Since then there has appeared a large volume of literature, and a great deal of progress has been achieved by many mathematicians.
Download or read book Operator Algebras and Their Modules written by David P. Blecher and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable reference is the first to present the general theory of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space, and the modules over such algebras. The new theory of operator spaces is presented early on and the text assembles the basic concepts, theory and methodologies needed to equip a beginning researcher in this area. A major trend in modern mathematics, inspired largely by physics, is toward `noncommutative' or `quantized' phenomena. In functional analysis, this has appeared notably under the name of `operator spaces', which is a variant of Banach spaces which is particularly appropriate for solving problems concerning spaces or algebras of operators on Hilbert space arising in 'noncommutative mathematics'. The category of operator spaces includes operator algebras, selfadjoint (that is, C*-algebras) or otherwise. Also, most of the important modules over operator algebras are operator spaces. A common treatment of the subjects of C*-algebras, Non-selfadjoint operator algebras, and modules over such algebras (such as Hilbert C*-modules), together under the umbrella of operator space theory, is the main topic of the book. A general theory of operator algebras, and their modules, naturally develops out of the operator space methodology. Indeed, operator space theory is a sensitive enough medium to reflect accurately many important non-commutative phenomena. Using recent advances in the field, the book shows how the underlying operator space structure captures, very precisely, the profound relations between the algebraic and the functional analytic structures involved. The rich interplay between spectral theory, operator theory, C*-algebra and von Neumann algebra techniques, and the influx of important ideas from related disciplines, such as pure algebra, Banach space theory, Banach algebras, and abstract function theory is highlighted. Each chapter ends with a lengthy section of notes containing a wealth of additional information.
Download or read book Vertex Operator Algebras and the Monster written by Igor Frenkel and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 1989-05-01 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is motivated by and develops connections between several branches of mathematics and physics--the theories of Lie algebras, finite groups and modular functions in mathematics, and string theory in physics. The first part of the book presents a new mathematical theory of vertex operator algebras, the algebraic counterpart of two-dimensional holomorphic conformal quantum field theory. The remaining part constructs the Monster finite simple group as the automorphism group of a very special vertex operator algebra, called the "moonshine module" because of its relevance to "monstrous moonshine."
Download or read book Operator Algebras and Applications written by A. Katavolos and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few years, the theory of operator algebras, particularly non-self-adjoint operator algebras, has evolved dramatically, experiencing both international growth and interfacing with other important areas. The present volume presents a survey of some of the latest developments in the field in a form that is detailed enough to be accessible to advanced graduate students as well as researchers in the field. Among the topics treated are: operator spaces, Hilbert modules, limit algebras, reflexive algebras and subspaces, relations to basis theory, C* algebraic quantum groups, endomorphisms of operator algebras, conditional expectations and projection maps, and applications, particularly to wavelet theory. The volume also features an historical paper offering a new approach to the Pythagoreans' discovery of irrational numbers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vertex operator algebra theory is a new area of mathematics. It has been an exciting and ever-growing subject from the beginning, starting even before R. Borcherds introduced the precise mathematical notion of "vertex algebra" in the 1980s [BI]. Having developed in conjunction with string theory in theoretical physics and with the theory of "monstrous moonshine" and infinite-dimensional Lie algebra theory in mathematics, vertex (operator) algebra theory is qualitatively different from traditional algebraic theories, reflecting the "nonclassical" nature of string theory and of monstrous moonshine. The theory has revealed new perspectives that were unavailable without it, and continues to do so. "Monstrous moonshine" began as an astonishing set of conjectures relating the Monster finite simple group to the theory of modular functions in number theory. As is now known, vertex operator algebra theory is a foundational pillar of monstrous moonshine. With the theory available, one can formulate and try to solve new problems that have far-reaching implications in a wide range of fields that had not previously been thought of as being related. This book systematically introduces the theory of vertex (operator) algebras from the beginning, using "formal calculus," and takes the reader through the fundamental theory to the detailed construction of examples. The axiomatic foundations of vertex operator algebras and modules are studied in detail, general construction theorems for vertex operator algebras and modules are presented, and the most basic families of vertex operator algebras are constructed and their irreducible modules are constructed and are also classified. The construction theorems for algebras and modules are based on a study of representations of a vertex operator algebra, as opposed to modules for the algebra, as developed in [Li3]. A significant feature of the theory is that in general, the construction of modules for (or representations of) a vertex operator algebra is in some sense more subtle than the construction of the algebra itself. With the body of theory presented in this book as background, the reader will be well prepared to embark on any of a vast range of directions in the theory and its applications.

Download or read book On Axiomatic Approaches to Vertex Operator Algebras and Modules written by Igor Frenkel and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic definitions and properties of vertex operator algebras, modules, intertwining operators and related concepts are presented, following a fundamental analogy with Lie algebra theory. The first steps in the development of the general theory are taken, and various natural and useful reformulations of the axioms are given. In particular, tensor products of algebras and modules, adjoint vertex operators and contragradient modules, adjoint intertwining operators and fusion rules are studied in greater depth. This paper lays the monodromy-free axiomatic foundation of the general theory of vertex operator algebras, modules and intertwining operators.
