Based on lectures delivered by the authors at Moscow State University, this volume presents a detailed introduction to the theory of Hilbert $C*$-modules. Hilbe

Hilbert C*-modules are objects like Hilbert spaces, except that the inner product, instead of being complex valued, takes its values in a C*-algebra. The theory

A modern treatment of this complex mathematical topic for students beginning research in operator algebras as well as mathematical physicists. Topics include th

This textbook provides an introduction to representations of general ∗-algebras by unbounded operators on Hilbert space, a topic that naturally arises in quan

Ideal for graduate students and researchers, this book presents a unified treatment of the central notions of integral closure.
