Operator-valued frame ($G$-frame), as a generalization of frame is introduced by Kaftal, Larson, and Zhang in \textit{Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.}, 361(12):6349-6385, 2009 and by Sun in \textit{J. Math. Anal. Appl.}, 322(1):437-452, 2006. It has been further extended in the paper arXiv:1810.01629 [math.OA] 3 October 2018, so as to have a rich theory on operator-valued frames for Hilbert spaces as well as for Banach spaces. The continuous version has been studied in this paper when the indexing set is a measure space. We study duality, similarity, orthogonality and stability of this extension. Several characterizations are given including a notable characterization when the measure space is a locally compact group. Variation formula, dimension formula and trace formula are derived when the Hilbert space is finite dimensional.
Recently it is proved in arXiv:1906.05493v1 [math.OA] that CCR flows over convex cones are cocycle conjugate if and only if the associated isometric representations are conjugate. We provide a very short, simple and direct proof of that. Using the same idea we prove the analogous statement for CAR flows as well. Further we show that CCR flows are not cocycle conjugate to the CAR flows when the (multi-parameter) isometric representation is `proper', a condition which is satisfied by all known examples.
We give an example of an exact, stably finite, simple. separable C*-algebra D which is not isomorphic to its opposite algebra. Moreover, D has the following additional properties. It is stably finite, approximately divisible, has real rank zero and stable rank one, has a unique tracial state, and the order on projections over D is determined by traces. It also absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra Z, and in fact absorbs the 3^{\infty} UHF algebra. We can also explicitly compute the K-theory of D, namely K_0 (D) = Z[1/3] with the standard order, and K_1 (D) = 0, as well as the Cuntz semigroup of D.
The same group that launched e-Math for Africa in 2006 is now working on e-Physics for Africa and e-Chemistry for Africa. (Thanks to Anders Wändahl.) The goal of e-Math for Africa is "to coordinate the efforts to make an African consortium for e-journals and databases." It includes both OA journals and TA journals discounted for African researchers.

Its motto is <em> Math Not Meth. </em> He wrote to me recently to explain that Here's a little more background from the Math Not Meth blog: And a little more from one of Smith's emails: Finally, some detail from a recent Smith comment on another blog: <strong> Comment </strong> . This is a remarkable story.
Project Euclid has announced that it will host a new, open access, digital journal from the Institute of Mathematical Statistics: Probability Surveys, with UC Berkeley's David Aldous as editor. Probability Surveys is a peer-reviewed e-journal which publishes survey articles in theoretical and applied probability. The first articles are scheduled to be available in early July.
This paper generalizes the results obtained in an earlier paper (math.OA/0003087) for finite factors to infinite but still semifinite factors. First we give a characterization of cyclic and separating vectors for infinite semifinite factors in terms of operators associated with this vector and being affiliated with the factor. Further we show how this operator generates the modular objects of the given cyclic and separating vector generalizing an idea of Kadison and Ringrose. With the help of these results we can show that the second simple class of solutions for the inverse problem constructed in math.OA/0003087 never exists in infinite semifinite factors. Finally we give a classification of the solutions of the inverse problem in the case of modular operators having pure point spectrum, completely analoguous to the finite case.
This paper is an extended version of math.OA/0601528 where we point out and remedy a gap in the proof by P. Julg and G. Kasparov of the Baum-Connes conjecture for discrete subgroups of SU(n,1). In particular, here we explain in details why the non-microlocality of the Heisenberg calculus prevents us from implementing into this framework the classical approach of Seeley to pseudodifferential complex powers, which was the main issue at stake in math.OA/0601528.
Given a II$_1$ factor M and a masa A of M, we prove a version of the Schur-Horn Theorem, together with a contractive version. These results are inspired on a recent conjecture of Arveson and Kadison (math.OA/0508482).
We show that for stochastic measures with freely independent increments, the partition-dependent stochastic measures of math.OA/9903084 can be expressed purely in terms of the higher stochastic measures and the higher diagonal measures of the original.
Two spectral triples are introduced for a class of fractals in R^n. The definitions of noncommutative Hausdorff dimension and noncommutative tangential dimensions, as well as the corresponding Hausdorff and Hausdorff-Besicovitch functionals considered in math.OA/0202108, are studied for the mentioned fractals endowed with these spectral triples, showing in many cases their correspondence with classical objects. In particular, for any limit fractal, the Hausdorff-Besicovitch functionals do not depend on the generalized limit procedure.
A semicontinuous semifinite trace is constructed on the C*-algebra generated by the finite propagation operators acting on the L^2-sections of a hermitian vector bundle on an amenable open manifold of bounded geometry. This trace is the semicontinuous regularization of a functional already considered by J. Roe. As an application, we show that, by means of this semicontinuous trace, Novikov-Shubin numbers for amenable manifolds can be defined (cf. math.OA/9802015 for an alternate definition).
The question whether an operator belongs to the domain of some singular trace is addressed, together with the dual question whether an operator does not belong to the domain of some singular trace. We show that the answers are positive in general, namely for any (compact, infinite rank) positive operator A we exhibit two singular traces, the first being zero and the second being infinite on A. However, if we assume that the singular traces are generated by a "regular" operator, the answers change, namely such traces always vanish on trace-class, non singularly traceable operators and are always infinite on non trace-class, non singularly traceable operators. These results are achieved on a general semifinite factor, and make use of a new characterization of singular traceability (cf. math.OA/0202108).
A nonnegative number d_infinity, called asymptotic dimension, is associated with any metric space. Such number detects the asymptotic properties of the space (being zero on bounded metric spaces), fulfills the properties of a dimension, and is invariant under rough isometries. It is then shown that for a class of open manifolds with bounded geometry the asymptotic dimension coincides with the 0-th Novikov-Shubin number alpha_0 defined previously (math.OA/9802015, cf. also math.DG/0110294). Thus the dimensional interpretation of alpha_0 given in the mentioned paper in the framework of noncommutative geometry is established on metrics grounds. Since the asymptotic dimension of a covering manifold coincides with the polynomial growth of its covering group, the stated equality generalises to open manifolds a result by Varopoulos.
We study C*-algebra endomorphims which are special in a weaker sense w.r.t. the notion introduced by Doplicher and Roberts. We assign to such endomorphisms a geometrical invariant, representing a cohomological obstruction for them to be special in the usual sense. Moreover, we construct the crossed product of a C*-algebra by the action of the dual of a (nonabelian, noncompact) group of vector bundle automorphisms. These crossed products supply a class of examples for such generalized special endomorphisms.
