State Spaces of Operator Algebras: Basic Theory, Orientations, and C*-Products

by Erik M. Alfsen and Frederik W. Shultz

Book Overview

Self-contained work, focusing on the theory of state spaces of C*- algebras and von Neumann algebras. Gives a new presentation of the theory of orientation of state spaces of C*-algebras that does not depend on Jordan algebras. Also presented is the theory of orientation of normal state spaces of von Neumann algebras, with complete proofs for the first time. Minimal prerequisites: knowledge from standard graduate courses in real and complex variables,...
