Stinespring's dilation without $C^{\ast}$-algebras

Does Stinespring's dilation theorem hold if the algebra of interest is a topological $\ast$-algebra instead of the usual $C^{\ast}$-algebra? I will now state the version of Stinespring's dilation ...

Invertible unbounded linear maps defined on a Hilbert space

It is well-known that, assuming the axiom of choice, there are unbounded linear maps defined not only on a dense subset but on all of Hilbert space. Is it possible that such a map is invertible?

A Hilbert-space completion of a Hilbert $ C^{*} $-module over a separable $ C^{*} $-algebra

Let $ B $ be a separable $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ \mathcal{E} $ a Hilbert $ B $-module. We know that $ B $ has a faithful state $ \phi $. Using $ \phi $, we can construct a $ \mathbb{C} $-valued pre-...

Eigenvalues and Compact Resolvent

For $A$ an unbounded (densely defined) operator on a separable Hilbert space, what conditions on its eigenvalues will show that, for $\lambda \notin $spec$(A)$, we have that $(A-\lambda)^{-1}$ is a ...

Self-adjoint bounded operator, resolution of the identity, def. of the diagonal

Let $A$ be a self adjoint bounded linear operator with a continuous spectrum $\sigma(A)=[a,b]$ which acts on a separable Hilbert space. Let $E_\lambda$ be its resolution of the identity. For ...

"Frobenius-finite" linear operators on a Hilbert Space

Let $H = L_2(S)$ be the complex Hilbert space over $S$ with the counting measure. (There might be another term for this concept, but) I define a continuous linear operator $L$ on $H$ with matrix ...

Abelianization of GL(H)

This is related to Theo's question about the abelianizations of finite dimensionsal Lie groups. I am interested in a specific (infinite-dimensional) case of the above question. Let H be an infinite-...
