The theory of operator spaces is very recent and can be described as a non-commutative Banach space theory. The first part of this book provides an introduction with emphasis on examples that illustrate the theory. The second part discusses applications to C*-algebras, with a systematic exposition of tensor products of C* algebras. The final part describes applications to non self-adjoint operator algebras, and similarity problems. Graduate students and professional mathematicians...
More DescriptionThe theory of operator spaces is very recent and can be described as a non-commutative Banach space theory. The first part of this book provides an introduction with emphasis on examples that illustrate the theory. The second part discusses applications to C*-algebras, with a systematic exposition of tensor products of C* algebras. The final part describes applications to non self-adjoint operator algebras, and similarity problems. Graduate students and professional mathematicians interested in functional analysis, operator algebras and theoretical physics will find that this book has much to offer.
