Completely Bounded Maps and Operator Algebras
$156.00
USDThis book tours the principal results and ideas in the theories of completely positive maps, completely bounded maps, dilation theory, operator spaces and operator algebras, along with some of their main applications. It requires only a basic background in functional analysis. The presentation is self-contained and paced appropriately for graduate students new to the subject. Experts will appreciate how the author illustrates the power of methods he has developed with new and simpler proofs of some of the major results in the area, many of which have not appeared earlier in the literature. An indispensible introduction to the theory of operator spaces.
- Self-contained
- Author is an excellent expositor
- First real introduction to the subject for graduate students
Reviews & endorsements
"Although it contains deep and advanced results on operator spaces and their applications, the book is essentially self-contained and accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge in general functional analysis and C*-algebras." Mathematical Reviews
