Let $\varphi$ be a quasi state on $B(H)$. What does it mean? It means that $\varphi(cA)=c\varphi(A)$ for $c \in \mathbb{C}, A \in B(H)$, $\varphi(A) \geq 0$ for positive $A$ and $\varphi(A+B)=\varphi( …

First of all forgive me if this question is not well suited for this forum: it is motivated by physics however after all my concerns are mathematical so I hope it would be appropriate to post it here. …

Suppose that $Q,P$ are self-adjoint operators which satisfy the relation $$(1) \ \ \ \ \ [Q,P]=iI$$ One can easily show that in this case $P,Q$ cannot be bounded. However one can find unbounded operat …

I would like to understand the following statement taken from this paper, dealing with the so called Transverse Index Theory or in other words with the index theory for diffeomorphism invariant geomet …

Is it possible to explicitly construct the Hilbert space $H$ and operator $T \in B(H)$ such that the von Neumann it generates is type $III$ factor? I would like to see an example.

In this question Operators on Hilbert $C^*$-module and families of Fredholm operators I asked about the relation between being a family of compact operators $F:X \to K(H)$ on Hilbert space $H=\ell^2$ …

If $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra, there is a notion of Hilbert $A$-module (which is something like Hilbert space but the inner product takes values in $A$). The standard example is $H_A:=\{(a_n)_{n=1}^{\inft …

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. One can consider the exterior algebra bundle $\Lambda(T^*M)$. The sections of this bundle are differential forms, to be noted by $\Omega^k(M)$. One can consider d …

Please forgive me if the question is too elementary, but however I was unable to manage by myself. The question comes from J.Varilly, H.Figueroa and J. Gracia-Bondia book "Elements of noncommutative g …
