We show that there are uncountably many geodesics between any two non-isometric $n$-dimensional normed spaces. We construct two explicit geodesics that can be used to describe all the points of the other geodesics.
A new hierarchy of Banach spaces $T_k(d,θ)$, $k$ any positive integer, is constructed using barriers in high dimensional Ellentuck spaces \cite{DobrinenJSL15} following the classical framework under which a Tsirelson type norm is defined from a barrier in the Ellentuck space \cite{Argyros/TodorcevicBK}. The following structural properties of these spaces are proved. Each of these spaces contains arbitrarily large copies of $\ell_\infty^n$, with the bound constant for all $n$. For each fixed pair $d$ and $θ$, the spaces $T_k(d,θ)$, $k\ge 1$, are $\ell_p$-saturated, forming natural extensions of the $\ell_p$ space, where $p$ satisfies $dθ=d^{1/p}$. Moreover, they form a strict hierarchy over the $\ell_p$ space: For any $j<k$, the space $T_j(d,θ)$ embeds isometrically into $T_k(d,θ)$ as a subspace which is non-isomorphic to $T_k(d,θ)$.
Noncommutative domain algebras are noncommutative analogues of the algebras of holomorphic functions on domains of $\C^n$ defined by holomorphic polynomials, and they generalize the noncommutative Hardy algebras. We present here a complete classification of these algebras based upon techniques inspired by multivariate complex analysis, and more specifically the classification of domains in hermitian spaces up to biholomorphic equivalence.
This paper extends the results of the previous work of the authors on the classification on noncommutative domain algebras up to completely isometric isomorphism. Using Sunada's classification of Reinhardt domains in $C^n$, we show that aspherical noncommutative domain algebras are isomorphic if and only if their defining symbols are equivalent, in the sense that one can be obtained from the other via permutation and scaling of the free variables. Our result also shows that the automorphism groups of aspherical noncommutative domain algebras consists of a subgroup of some finite dimensional unitary group. We conclude by illustrating how our methods can be used to extend to noncommutative domain algebras some results from analysis in $C^n$ with the example of Cartan's lemma.
We establish that particular quotients of the non-commutative Hardy algebras carry ergodic actions of convergent discrete subgroups of the group $\operatorname*{SU}(n,1)$ of automorphisms of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}% ^{n}$. To do so, we provide a mean to compute the spectra of quotients of noncommutative Hardy algebra and characterize their automorphisms in term of biholomorphic maps of the unit ball in $\mathbb{C}^{n}$.
We describe the structure of the irreducible representations of crossed products of unital C*-algebras by actions of finite groups in terms of irreducible representations of the C*-algebras on which the groups act. We then apply this description to derive a characterization of irreducible representations of crossed-products by finite cyclic groups in terms of representations of the C*-algebra and its fixed point subalgebra. These results are applied to crossed-products by the permutation group on three elements and illustrated by various examples.
Noncommutative domain algebras were introduced by Popescu as the non-selfadjoint operator algebras generated by weighted shifts on the Full Fock space. This paper uses results from several complex variables to classify many noncommutative domain algebras, and it uses results from operator theory to obtain new bounded domains in hermitian spaces with non-compact automorphic group.
We use a technique of Szankowski to construct an operator Hilbert space that does not have the operator approximation property
General results of interpolation (eg. Nevanlinna-Pick) by elements in the noncommutative analytic Toeplitz algebra $F^\infty$ (resp. noncommutative disc algebra $A_n$) with consequences to the interpolation by bounded operator-valued analytic functions in the unit ball of ${\bf C}^n$ are obtained. Non-commutative Poisson transforms are used to provide new von Neumann type inequalities. Completely isometric representations of the quotient algebra $F^\infty/J$ on Hilbert spaces, where $J$ is any $w^*$-closed, 2-sided ideal of $F^\infty$, are obtained and used to construct a $w^*$-continuous, $F^\infty/J$--functional calculus associated to row contractions $T=[T_1,\dots, T_n]$ when $f(T_1,\dots,T_n)=0$ for any $f\in J$. Other properties of the dual algebra $F^\infty/J$ are considered.
The framework of the paper is that of the full Fock space ${\Cal F}^2({\Cal H}_n)$ and the Banach algebra $F^\infty$ which can be viewed as non-commutative analogues of the Hardy spaces $H^2$ and $H^\infty$ respectively. An inner-outer factorization for any element in ${\Cal F}^2({\Cal H}_n)$ as well as characterization of invertible elements in $F^\infty$ are obtained. We also give a complete characterization of invariant subspaces for the left creation operators $S_1,\cdots, S_n$ of ${\Cal F}^2({\Cal H}_n)$. This enables us to show that every weakly (strongly) closed unital subalgebra of $\{φ(S_1,\cdots,S_n):φ\in F^\infty\}$ is reflexive, extending in this way the classical result of Sarason [S]. Some properties of inner and outer functions and many examples are also considered.
A Banach space $X$ has the $2$-summing property if the norm of every linear operator from $X$ to a Hilbert space is equal to the $2$-summing norm of the operator. Up to a point, the theory of spaces which have this property is independent of the scalar field: the property is self-dual and any space with the property is a finite dimensional space of maximal distance to the Hilbert space of the same dimension. In the case of real scalars only the real line and real $\ell_\infty^2$ have the $2$-summing property. In the complex case there are more examples; e.g., all subspaces of complex $\ell_\infty^3$ and their duals.
In this paper we prove that several operator algebras are completely isomorphic to each other; e.g., the $C^*_λ(F_k)$, $k\geq 2$, the $C^*$-algebras generated by the regular left representation $λ:F_k\to B(\ell_2(F_k))$, are completely isomorphic to each other. We also study the ``non-commutative'' analytic spaces introduced by G. Popescu [Po], and give applications to Popescu's version of Von Neumann's inequality.
In this paper we address some basic questions of the Banach space structure of the nest algebras in the trace class; in particular, we study whether any two of them are isomorphic to each other, and show that the nest algebras in the trace class have bases. We construct three non-isomorphic examples of nest algebras in $c_1$; present a new proof of the primarity of $c_1$ (Arazy, [Ar1], [Ar2]), and prove that $K(H)$, and the nest algebras in $B(H)$ are primary.
We examine some structural properties of (injective and projective) tensor products of $\ell_p$-spaces (projections, complemented subspaces, reflexivity, isomorphisms, etc.). We combine these results with combinatorial arguments to address the question of primarity for these spaces and their duals. Our main results are: \medbreak \item{(1)} If $1<p<\infty$, then $B(\ell_p)\approx B(L_p)$ ($B(X)$ consists of the bounded linear operators on $X$). \medbreak \item{(2)} If ${1\over p_i}+{1\over p_j}\leq1$ for every $i\neq j$, or if all of the $p_i$'s are equal, then $\ell_{p_1}\hat{\otimes}\cdots \hat{\otimes}\ell_{p_N}$ is primary. \medbreak \item{(3)} $\ell_p$ embeds into $\ell_{p_1}\hat{\otimes}\cdots \hat{\otimes}\ell_{p_N}$ if and only if there exists $A\subset \{1,2,\cdots,n\}$ such that ${1\over p}=\min\{\sum_{i\in A}{1\over p_i},1\}$. \medbreak \item{(4)} If $1\leq p<\infty$ and $m\geq1$, then the space of homogeneous analytic polynomials ${\cal P}_m(\ell_p)$ and the symmetric tensor product of $m$ copies of $\ell_p$ are primary.
