The corresponding results in nest algebras. For this reason, we proposed method combines analytical and geometric materials to could prove one proposition of Gordon, which can be used in construct a structure of nest algebra for nilpotent Lie algebras. In this way, the main concepts of Lie derivations and the results solving the rigidity problem for 2-step nilmanifolds, in a new obtained from it in nilmanifolds are consistent with the structure, Corollary 3.1. It should be noted that this corresponding results in nest algebras. Due to this adaptation of proposition was proved once again in [4] with the use of the the main concepts, one proposition of Gordon, which can be used concepts of Lie groupoids. Lastly, in expressing the in solving the rigidity problem for 2-step nilmanifolds, has been importance of the approach used, an extension of Corollary proved in the new structure. Also, the resulting nesting algebra 3.1 to quasi-nilpotent operators has been mentioned in structure leads to an extension of that proposition to quasi- nilpotent operators. Corollary 3.2.

    THE PARABOLIC ALGEBRA ON Lp SPACES E. KASTIS Abstract. The parabolic algebra was introduced by Katavolos and Power, in 1997, as the SOT - closed operator algebra acting on L2(R) that is generated by the translation and multiplication semigroups. In particular, they proved that this algebra is reflexive and is equal to the Fourier binest algebra, that is, to the algebra of operators that leave invariant the subspaces in the Volterra nest and its analytic counterpart. We prove that a similar result holds for the corresponding algebras acting on Lp(R), where 1 <p< . In the last section, it is also shown that the reflexive closures of the Fourier binests∞ on Lp(R) are all order isomorphic for 1 <p< . ∞ 1. Introduction Let Dµ,µ R and Mλ,λ R be the groups of translation and multiplication respectively{ acting∈ } on the{ Hilbert∈ space} L2(R), given by D f(x)= f(x µ), M f(x)= eiλxf(x). µ − λ It is well-known that these 1-parameter unitary groups are continuous in the strong operator topology (SOT), that they provide an irreducible representation of the Weyl- iλµ commutation relations, MλDµ = e DµMλ, and that the SOT-closed operator algebra they generate is the von Neumann algebra B(L2(R)) of all bounded operators. (See Tay- lor [23], for example.) On the other hand it was shown by Katavolos and Power in [11] that the strongly closed nonselfadjoint operator algebra generated by the semigroups for µ 0 and λ 0 is a reflexive algebra, in the sense of Halmos [18], containing no self-adjoint≥ operators,≥ other than real multiples of the identity, and containing no nonzero finite rank p p operators.

  • The Carrier Space of a Reflexive Operator Algebra
    PACIFIC JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS Vol. 81, No. 2, 1979 THE CARRIER SPACE OF A REFLEXIVE OPERATOR ALGEBRA ALAN HOPENWASSER AND DAVID LARSON Many properties of nest algebras are actually valid for reflexive operator algebras with a commutative subspace lattice. In this paper we collect a number of such results related to the carrier space of the algebra. Included among these results are a generalization of Ringrose's criterion, a description of the partial correspondence between lattice homomorphisms of the carrier space and projections in the lattice, the construction of isometric representations of certain quotient algebras, and a direct sum decomposition of the commutant of the core modulo the intersection of the spectral ideals. Let J^ = Alg ^ where if is a commutative subspace lattice and let ^ be the intersection of all the spectral ideals in Jzf. (See §1 for definitions.) In §1 we generalize Ringrose's criterion to the commutative subspace lattice case: A e ^ if, and only if, for each e > 0 there is a finite family {Et} of mutually orthogonal intervals from & such that Σ^ = l and WE.AE.W < ε, i = 1, . , n. We also prove that ^ is the closed linear span of commutators of the form AL — LA, where A e jy and L e £f. In § 2 we describe the partial correspondence between certain projections in Sf and certain lattice homomorphisms in the carrier space X. A necessary (but not sufficient) condition for an operator A to be in the radical of *$/ is given in §3. In §4 we exhibit isometric representations as algebras of operators acting on Hubert space of each quotient algebra J^fjj^φ and of the quotient *S%f\<J\ In the nest algebra case this was done by Lance in [5].

    HEREDITARILY ANTISYMMETRIC OPERATOR ALGEBRAS NIK WEAVER Abstract. We introduce a notion of “hereditarily antisymmetric” operator algebras and prove a structure theorem for them in finite dimensions. We also characterize those operator algebras in finite dimensions which can be made upper triangular and prove matrix analogs of the theorems of Dilworth and Mirsky for finite posets. Some partial results are obtained in the infinite dimensional case. In this paper an operator algebra is a linear subspace of some B(H) which is stable under products, where H is a complex Hilbert space. It is unital if it contains the identity operator I. Self-adjointness is not assumed. Indeed, an operator algebra A is said to be antisymmetric if A∩A∗ is {0} or C · I. This means that a nonunital antisymmetric operator algebra contains no nonzero self-adjoint operators, and the only self-adjoint operators a unital one contains are the real multiples of the identity operator (Proposition 3.1). Antisymmetric operator algebras were introduced in [9] and have attracted occasional attention, e.g., [5, 6]. n Following [10], we regard linear subspaces V of Mn = Mn(C) =∼ B(C ) as matrix or “quantum” analogs of relations on finite sets. In this picture the quantum analog of a preorder relation, i.e., a relation which is reflexive and transitive, is a unital operator algebra. This intuition behind this idea, and its relation to the physics of finite state quantum systems, is discussed below in Section 1. Partially ordered sets are preordered sets which satisfy the extra condition of antisymmetry (a ≤ b and b ≤ a implies a = b).

INTRODUCTION In [S], Richard Kadison characterized all linear isometric maps of one C*-algebra, d, onto another one, .!3. In case d and 93 are von Neumann algebras, his result assumes a particularly simple and pleasing form. Where should one look for generalizations of Kadison’s results? One possibility is to investigate isometries acting on reflexive operator algebras, which represent a natural generalization of von Neumann algebras. In this paper, we begin such a study by considering nest algebras, which in some sense lie at the “opposite pole” (among reflexive algebras) from von Neumann algebras. To fix terminology and notation, we will throughout the paper denote by S a complex, separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. An operator is a continuous linear transformation on 2, and the set of all such is &9(X)). A projection on SF is a self-adjoint idempotent operator in a(X). There is an obvious correspondence between projections and their ranges, which are always norm-closed subspaces of 2”. It will from time to time be convenient to blur the distinction between a projection and its range; thus, we might speak of a projection as being invariant for an operator. A lattice 9 of projections (or subspaces) is a collection of projections closed under the operations A and v , where E A F is the projection whose range is (range E) n (rangeF) and E v F is the projection whose range is the closure of (range E) + (range F).

    BIMODULES OF BANACH SPACE NEST ALGEBRAS LU´IS DUARTE AND LINA OLIVEIRA Abstract. We extend to Banach space nest algebras the theory of essential supports and support function pairs of their bimodules, thereby obtaining Banach space counterparts of long established results for Hilbert space nest algebras. Namely, given a Banach space nest algebra A, we charaterise the maximal and the minimal A-bimodules having a given essential support function or support function pair. These characterisations are complete except for the minimal A-bimodule corresponding to a support function pair, in which case we make some headway. We also show that the weakly closed bimodules of a Banach space nest algebra are exactly those that are reflexive operator spaces. To this end, we crucially prove that reflexive bimodules determine uniquely a certain class of admissible support functions. 1. Introduction Nest algebras on Hilbert space were introduced in 1963 by J. R. Ringrose as a generalisation of a class of operator algebras including, for example, the algebra of upper triangular matrices and some of the maximal triangular algebras appearing in the work of Kadison and Singer (see [15],[25]). These algebras have attracted a vast amount of research over the years, with Davidson’s book [5] being the standard reference for a comprehensive account of their basic theory. A natural question is, of course, to what extent results in the Hilbert space setting can be seen to hold for Banach spaces, a question already hinted at in [25]. Although many authors have tackled this problem, it is still the case that nest algebras on Banach spaces are far less explored in the literature.

This is accomplished by first establishing the complete contractivity of contractive representations through a semi-discreteness property for nest algebras relative to finite-dimensional nest algebras (Theorem 2.1). The semi-discreteness property is obtained by an examination of the order type, spectral type, and multiplicity of the nest, and by the construction of subalgebras that are completely isometric copies of finite-dimensional nest algebras, with good approximation properties. With complete contractivity at hand, the desired dilation follows from Arveson’s dilation theorem and auxiliary arguments. 0 1988 Academic Press, Inc.

Larson) Abstract. Let A be a nest algebra and LatA its invariant projection (or subspace) lattice. In this paper, using order homomorphisms of LatA,we give necessary and sufficient conditions on bounded linear operators X and Y on a Hilbert space to guarantee the existence of an operator A in a certain A-module such that AX = Y . Introduction In the study of a reflexive operator algebra A,itisusefultoknowforwhich vectors x and y there exists A 2Asatisfying Ax = y. E.C. Lance initiated the study of such problems and gave necessary and sufficient conditions on vectors x and y to guarantee the existence of an operator A in a given nest algebra AlgN such that Ax = y,wherex and y are vectors in a Hilbert space H and N is a nest. In addition, Lance specified the minimum norm such an operator can have. A. Hopenwasser [4] extended Lance's result to the case where the nest N is replaced by an arbitrary commutative invariant projection lattice. Munch [8] restricted the operator A to be a Hilbert-Schmidt operator in nest algebra AlgN .In[1]the authors considered the problem of finding A so that Ax = y and A is required to be in certain ideals contained in AlgN . All the results mentioned above are in the case of \vector interpolation". There is another problem related to the one above: for a given operator algebra A on a Hilbert space H, for which bounded operators X and Y on H does there exist an A in A satisfying AX = Y ? In [5] the authors solved this problem in nest algebra and gave a sufficient and necessary condition.

    APPLICATIONS OF OPERATOR SPACE THEORY TO NEST ALGEBRA BIMODULES G. K. ELEFTHERAKIS Abstract. Recently, Blecher and Kashyap have generalized the notion of W ∗-modules over von Neumann algebras to the setting where the opera- tor algebras are σ−weakly closed algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. They call these modules weak* rigged modules. We characterize the weak* rigged modules over nest algebras. We prove that Y is a right weak* rigged module over a nest algebra Alg(M) if and only if there exists a completely isometric normal representation Φ of Y and a nest algebra Alg(N ) such that Alg(N )Φ(Y )Alg(M) ⊂ Φ(Y ) while Φ(Y ) is implemented by a contin- uous nest homomorphism from M onto N . We describe some properties which are preserved by continuous CSL homomorphisms. 1. Introduction C∗-modules are well known as a generalization of the notion of Hilbert spaces introduced by Kaplansky [12]. They are very important tools for the study of C∗-algebras. The dual version is the notion of W ∗-module. A W ∗-module over a von Neumann algebra is a C∗-module which is a dual Banach space and defines a separately weak* continuous inner product [4]. W ∗-modules were originally introduced by Paschke [14]. They possess fruit- ful properties and appear in many versions such as weak* ternary rings of operators (TROs). ∗ arXiv:1201.0293v1 [math.OA] 31 Dec 2011 The development of operator space theory makes the generalization of W - modules possible even in the case of non-selfadjoint dual operator algebras. In particular, Blecher and Kashyap provided a new characterization of W ∗- modules which enabled the definition of an analogous notion for modules over non-selfadjoint dual operator algebras [1].

  • The Operator Algebra Generated by the Translation, Dilation and Multiplication Semigroups
    THE OPERATOR ALGEBRA GENERATED BY THE TRANSLATION, DILATION AND MULTIPLICATION SEMIGROUPS E. KASTIS AND S. C. POWER Abstract. The weak operator topology closed operator algebra on L2(R) generated by the one-parameter semigroups for translation, dilation and multiplication by eiλx; λ ≥ 0; is shown to be a reflexive operator algebra, in the sense of Halmos, with invariant subspace lattice equal to a binest. This triple semigroup algebra, Aph, is antisymmetric in the sense ∗ that Aph \ Aph = CI, it has a nonzero proper weakly closed ideal generated by the finite- rank operators, and its unitary automorphism group is R. Furthermore, the 8 choices of semigroup triples provide 2 unitary equivalence classes of operator algebras, with Aph ∗ and Aph being chiral representatives. 1. Introduction 2 Let Dµ and Mλ be the unitary operators on the Hilbert space L (R) given by iλx Dµf(x) = f(x − µ);Mλf(x) = e f(x) where µ, λ are real. As is well-known, the 1-parameter unitary groups fDµ; µ 2 Rg and fMλ; λ 2 Rg provide an irreducible representation of the Weyl-commutation relations, iλµ MλDµ = e DµMλ, and the weakly closed operator algebra they generate is the von Neumann algebra B(L2(R)) of all bounded operators. (See Taylor [19], for example.) On the other hand it was shown by Katavolos and Power in [8] that the weakly closed nonselfadjoint operator algebra generated by the semigroups for µ ≥ 0 and λ ≥ 0 is a proper subalgebra containing no self-adjoint operators, other than real multiples of the identity, and no nonzero finite rank operators.
