Quantum no-signalling correlations and non-local games

We introduce and examine three subclasses of the family of quantum no-signalling (QNS) correlations introduced by Duan and Winter: quantum commuting, quantum and local. We formalise the notion of a universal TRO of a block operator isometry, define an operator system, universal for stochastic operator matrices, and realise it as a quotient of a matrix algebra. We describe the classes of QNS correlations in terms of states on the tensor products of two copies of the universal operator system, and specialise the correlation classes and their representations to classical-to-quantum correlations. We study various quantum versions of synchronous no-signalling correlations and show that they possess invariance properties for suitable sets of states. We introduce quantum non-local games as a generalisation of non-local games. We define the operation of quantum game composition and show that the perfect strategies belonging to a certain class are closed under channel composition. We specialise to the case of graph colourings, where we exhibit quantum versions of the orthogonal rank of a graph as the optimal output dimension for which perfect classical-to-quantum strategies of the graph colouring game exist, as well as to non-commutative graph homomorphisms, where we identify quantum versions of non-commutative graph homomorphisms introduced by Stahlke.

Bilinear operator multipliers into the trace class

Given Hilbert spaces $H_1,H_2,H_3$, we consider bilinear maps defined on the cartesian product $S^2(H_2,H_3)\times S^2(H_1,H_2)$ of spaces of Hilbert-Schmidt operators and valued in either the space $B(H_1,H_3)$ of bounded operators, or in the space $S^1(H_1,H_3)$ of trace class operators. We introduce modular properties of such maps with respect to the commutants of von Neumann algebras $M_i\subset B(H_i)$, $i=1,2,3$, as well as an appropriate notion of complete boundedness for such maps. We characterize completely bounded module maps $u\colon S^2(H_2,H_3)\times S^2(H_1,H_2)\to B(H_1,H_3)$ by the membership of a natural symbol of $u$ to the von Neumann algebra tensor product $M_1\overline{\otimes} M_2^{op}\overline{\otimes} M_3$. In the case when $M_2$ is injective, we characterize completely bounded module maps $u\colon S^2(H_2,H_3)\times S^2(H_1,H_2)\to S^1(H_1,H_3)$ by a weak factorization property, which extends to the bilinear setting a famous description of bimodule linear mappings going back to Haagerup, Effros-Kishimoto, Smith and Blecher-Smith. We make crucial use of a theorem of Sinclair-Smith on completely bounded bilinear maps valued in an injective von Neumann algebra, and provide a new proof of it, based on Hilbert $C^*$-modules.

Positive Herz-Schur multipliers and approximation properties of crossed products

For a $C^*$-algebra $A$ and a set $X$ we give a Stinespring-type characterisation of the completely positive Schur $A$-multipliers on $K(\ell^2(X))\otimes A$. We then relate them to completely positive Herz-Schur multipliers on $C^*$-algebraic crossed products of the form $A\rtimes_{α,r} G$, with $G$ a discrete group, whose various versions were considered earlier by Anantharaman-Delaroche, Bédos and Conti, and Dong and Ruan. The latter maps are shown to implement approximation properties, such as nuclearity or the Haagerup property, for $A\rtimes_{α,r} G$.

Transference and preservation of uniqueness

Motivated by the notion of a set of uniqueness in a locally compact group $G$, we introduce and study ideals of uniqueness in the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of $G$, and their accompanying operator version, masa-bimodules of uniqueness. We establish a transference between the two notions, and use this result to show that the property of being an ideal of uniqueness is preserved under natural operations.

Schur multipliers of Cartan pairs

We define the Schur multipliers of a separable von Neumann algebra M with Cartan masa A, generalising the classical Schur multipliers of $B(\ell^2)$. We characterise these as the normal A-bimodule maps on M. If M contains a direct summand isomorphic to the hyperfinite II_1 factor, then we show that the Schur multipliers arising from the extended Haagerup tensor product $A \otimes_{eh} A$ are strictly contained in the algebra of all Schur multipliers.

Sets of multiplicity and closable multipliers on group algebras

We undertake a detailed study of the sets of multiplicity in a second countable locally compact group $G$ and their operator versions. We establish a symbolic calculus for normal completely bounded maps from the space $\mathcal{B}(L^2(G))$ of bounded linear operators on $L^2(G)$ into the von Neumann algebra $VN(G)$ of $G$ and use it to show that a closed subset $E\subseteq G$ is a set of multiplicity if and only if the set $E^* = \{(s,t)\in G\times G : ts^{-1}\in E\}$ is a set of operator multiplicity. Analogous results are established for $M_1$-sets and $M_0$-sets. We show that the property of being a set of multiplicity is preserved under various operations, including taking direct products, and establish an Inverse Image Theorem for such sets. We characterise the sets of finite width that are also sets of operator multiplicity, and show that every compact operator supported on a set of finite width can be approximated by sums of rank one operators supported on the same set. We show that, if $G$ satisfies a mild approximation condition, pointwise multiplication by a given measurable function $ψ: G\to \mathbb{C}$ defines a closable multiplier on the reduced C*-algebra $C_r^*(G)$ of $G$ if and only if Schur multiplication by the function $N(ψ) : G\times G\to \mathbb{C}$, given by $N(ψ)(s,t) = ψ(ts^{-1})$, is a closable operator when viewed as a densely defined linear map on the space of compact operators on $L^2(G)$. Similar results are obtained for multipliers on $VN(G)$.

Local Operator Multipliers and Positivity

We establish an unbounded version of Stinespring's Theorem and a lifting result for Stinespring representations of completely positive modular maps defined on the space of all compact operators. We apply these results to study positivity for Schur multipliers. We characterise positive local Schur multipliers, and provide a description of positive local Schur multipliers of Toeplitz type. We introduce local operator multipliers as a non-commutative analogue of local Schur multipliers, and obtain a characterisation that extends earlier results concerning operator multipliers and local Schur multipliers. We provide a description of the positive local operator multipliers in terms of approximation by elements of canonical positive cones.

Beurling-Fourier algebras on compact groups: spectral theory

For a compact group $G$ we define the Beurling-Fourier algebra $A_ω(G)$ on $G$ for weights $ω$ defined on the dual $\what G$ and taking positive values. The classical Fourier algebra corresponds to the case $ω$ is the constant weight 1. We study the Gelfand spectrum of the algebra realizing it as a subset of the complexification $G_{\mathbb C}$ defined by McKennon and Cartwright and McMullen. In many cases, such as for polynomial weights, the spectrum is simply $G$. We discuss the questions when the algebra $A_ω(G)$ is symmetric and regular. We also obtain various results concerning spectral synthesis for $A_ω(G)$.

On structure of homogenenous Wick ideals in Wick $*$-algebras with braided coefficients

We study the structure of Wick homogenenous ideals of higher degrees in quadratic algebras allowing Wick ordering. We present a method how to construct a homogeneous Wick ideal $\mathcal{I}_{n+1}$ of degree $n+1$ out of a homogeneous Wick ideal $\mathcal{I}_n$ of degree $n$ so that $\mathcal{I}_{n+1}\subset\mathcal{I}_n$. We show that in some particular cases our procedure allows one to get a description of the largest homogeneous Wick ideals of higher degrees having generators of the largest quadratic Wick ideal only. Finally we study classes of $*$-representations of Wick version of CCR annihilating certain homogeneous Wick ideals of degree higher than $2$.

Unbounded representations of $q$-deformation of Cuntz algebra

We study a deformation of the Cuntz-Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra determined by the relations $a_i^*a_i=1+q a_ia_i^*, a_i^*a_j=0$. We define well-behaved unbounded *-representations of the *-algebra defined by relations above and classify all such irreducible representations up to unitary equivalence.

Beurling-Pollard type theorems

We establish a version of the Beurling-Pollard theorem for operator synthesis and apply it to derive some results on linear operator equations and to prove a Beurling-Pollard type theorem for Varopoulos tensor algebras. Additionally we establish a Beurling-Pollard theorem for weighted Fourier algebras and use it to obtain ascent estimates for operators that are functions of generalized scalar operators.

On the connection between sets of operator synthesis and sets of spectral synthesis for locally compact groups

We extend the results by Froelich and Spronk and Turowska on the connection between operator synthesis and spectral synthesis for A(G) to second countable locally compact groups G. This gives us another proof that one-point subset of G is a set of spectral synthesis and that any closed subgroup is a set of local spectral synthesis. Furthermore we show that ``non-triangular'' sets are strong operator Ditkin sets and we establish a connection between operator Ditkin sets and Ditkin sets. These results are applied to prove that any closed subgroup of $G$ is a local Ditkin set.

Operator synthesis II. Individual synthesis and linear operator equations

The second part of our work on operator synthesis deals with individual operator synthesis of elements in some tensor products, in particular in Varopoulos algebras, and its connection with linear operator equations. Using a developed technique of ``approximate inverse intertwining'' we obtain some generalizations of the Fuglede and the Fuglede-Weiss theorems. Additionally, we give some applications to spectral synthesis in Varopoulos algebras and to partial differential equations.
