Fundamentals of the Theory of Operator Algebras, Volume 2This second part of this two-volume work presents an introduction to functional analysis and the initial fundamentals of C ]* - and Von Neumann algebra theory in a form suitable for both intermediate graduate courses and self-study. The authors provide a clear account of the introductory portions of this important and technically difficult subject. Well supplied with exercises, the text assumes only basic measure theory and topology. The books present the possibility for the design of numerous courses aimed at different audiences. |
