About normal states in abstract von Neumann algebras

In the book "Fundamental of the theory of operator algebras" (KAdisong and Ringrose, Vol 2) we have the Corollary 7.1.16 but this was state only for concrete von Neumann algebras (because ...

Irreducible group representation(algebraic and topological irreducibility)

In page 280 of "C^* algebra" by Dixmier, in the context of group representation, it is written 'We never encounter the concept of algebraic irreducibility except in finite dimensional ...

Representation over matrices $A_i^3=I$, $A_0A_1^\dagger+A_1A_2^\dagger+A_2A_0^\dagger=0$, $A_0^\dagger A_1+A_1^\dagger A_2+A_2^\dagger A_0=0$

I would like to know what all the possible finite-dimensional representations of the following relations are. $$A_0^3 = A_1^3 = A_2^3 = I \tag{1}$$ $$A_0 A_1^\dagger + A_1 A_2^\dagger + A_2 A_0^\...

Uniform Roe algebra of virtually abelian group is type I C*-algebra?

Let $G$ be an arbitrary (discrete) group. It acts by left translation on $\ell^\infty(G)$. The uniform Roe algebra of $G$ is defined as the crossed product $\ell^\infty (G) \rtimes_{\mathrm{red}}G$. ...

Existence of a unique cyclic and separating vector in a *-representation

I'm interested in knowing the requirements for a $*$-representation, $\pi_{\omega}$, of a C*-algebra, $\mathbb{C}(\mathcal{G})$, (or equivalently the requirements for the unitary representation, $U_{\...

Unique maximal ideal in group C*-algebras

Let $G$ be a discrete group. Let $C^*(G)$ denote the full group C*-algebra of $G.$ Let $\pi:C^*(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ be the *-homomorphism associated with the trivial representation of $G.$ ...

Trace Class Functions on locally compact groups

Let $G$ be a locally compact subgroup, $\mu$ a Haar-measure. For $f \in L^1(G)$, and for $\pi$ a unitary, topology irreducible, representation of $G$ on an Hilbert space $H_\pi$, it is customary to ...
