Description for Baer *-Rings
Hardback. Presents a systematic exposition of Baer *-Rings, with emphasis on the ring-theoretic and lattice-theoretic foundations of von Neumann algebras. This book includes more than 400 exercises, accompanied by notes, hints, and references to the literature. Series: Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften. Num Pages: 314 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 16. Weight in Grams: 637.
This book is an elaboration of ideas of Irving Kaplansky introduced in his book Rings of operators ([52], [54]). The subject of Baer *-rings has its roots in von Neumann's theory of 'rings of operators' (now called von Neumann algebras), that is, *-algebras of operators on a Hilbert space, containing the identity op- ator, that are closed in the weak operator topology (hence also the name W*-algebra). Von Neumann algebras are blessed with an excess of structure-algebraic, geometric, topological-so much, that one can easily obscure, through proof by overkill, what makes a particular theorem work. The urge to axiomatize at ... Read more
