K-theory has helped convert the theory of operator algebras from a simple branch of functional analysis to a subject with broad applicability throughout mathematics, especially in geometry and ...

The first edition of this book appeared in 1981 as a direct continuation of Lectures of von Neumann Algebras (by Ş.V. Strătilă and L. Zsidó) and, until 2003, was the only comprehensive monograph on ...

An operator algebra is an algebra of continuous linear operators on a Hilbert space. Such algebras can be associated to a variety of problems in mathematics and mathematical physics. The study of ...
