Exotic Group C*-algebras, Tensor Products, and Related Constructions
(University of Waterloo, 2016-06-15)Recently there has been a rejuvenated interest in exotic group C*-algebras, i.e., group C*-algebras which are "intermediate" to the full and reduced group C*-algebras. This resurgence began with the introduction of the ... -
On the Modular Theory of von Neumann Algebras
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-17)The purpose of this thesis is to provide an exposition of the \textit{modular theory} of von Neumann algebras. The motivation of the theory is to classify and describe von Neumann algebras which do not admit a trace, and ... -
Von Neumann Algebras for Abstract Harmonic Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-28)This thesis develops the theory of operator algebras from the perspective of abstract harmonic analysis, and in particular, the theory of von Neumann algebras. Results from operator algebras are applied to the study of ...
