Using {it weighted traces} which are linear functionals of the type $$Ato tr^Q(A):=(tr(A Q^{-z})-z^{-1} tr(A Q^{-z}))_{z=0}$$ defined on the whole algebra of (classical) pseudo-differential operators (P.D.O.s) and where $Q$ is some positive invertible elliptic operator, we investigate the geometry of loop groups in the light of the cohomology of pseudo-differential operators. We set up a geometric framework to study a class of infinite dimensional manifolds in which we recover some results on the geometry of loop groups, using again weighted traces. Along the way, we investigate properties of extensions of the Radul and Schwinger cocycles defined with the help of weighted traces.
In this short note we prove that the reduced group C*-algebra of a locally compact group admits a non-zero trace if and only if the amenable radical of the group is open. This completely answers a question raised by Forrest, Spronk and Wiersma.
A breakthrough took place in the von Neumann algebra theory when the Tomita-Takesaki theory was established around 1970. Since then, many important issues in the theory were developed through 1970s by Araki, Connes, Haagerup, Takesaki and others, which are already very classics of the von Neumann algebra theory. Nevertheless, it seems still difficult for beginners to access them, though a few big volumes on the theory are available. These lecture notes are delivered as an intensive course in 2019, April at Department of Mathematical Analysis, Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The course was aimed at giving a fast track study of those main classics of the theory, from which people gain an enough background knowledge so that they can consult suitable volumes when more details are needed.
A Banach involutive algebra is called a Krein C*-algebra if there is a fundamental symmetry (an involutive automorphism of period 2) such that the C*-property is satisfied when the original involution is replaced with the new one obtained by composing the automorphism with the old involution. For a given fundamental symmetry, a Krein C*-algebra decomposes as a direct sum of an even part (a C*-algebra) and an odd part (a Hilbert C*-bimodule on the even part). Our goal here is to develop a spectral theory for commutative unital Krein C*-algebras when the odd part is a symmetric imprimitivity C*-bimodule over the even part and there exists an additional suitable exchange symmetry between the odd and even parts.
Given a compact (Hausdorff) group $G$ and a closed subgroup $H$ of $G,$ in this paper we present symbolic criteria for pseudo-differential operators on compact homogeneous space $G/H$ characterizing the Schatten-von Neumann classes $S_r(L^2(G/H))$ for all $0<r leq infty.$ We go on to provide a symbolic characterization for $r$-nuclear, $0< r leq 1,$ pseudo-differential operators on $L^{p}(G/H)$-space with applications to adjoint, product and trace formulae. The criteria here are given in terms of the concept of matrix-valued symbols defined on noncommutative analogue of phase space $G/H times widehat{G/H}.$ Finally, we present applications of aforementioned results in the context of heat kernels.
Evans-Hudson flows are constructed for a class of quantum dynamical semigroups with unbounded generator on UHF algebras, which appeared in cite{Ma}. It is shown that these flows are unital and covariant. Ergodicity of the flows for the semigroups associated with partial states is also discussed.
