We prove a number of results on the automorphisms and isomorphisms between Hardy--Toeplitz algebras T(D) associated to bounded symmetric domains D: that the stable isomorphism class of T(D) determines D (even when it is reducible), that for reducible domains D=D1×⋯×Ds the automorphisms of the Shilov boundary ˇS(D) induced by those of T(D) permute the Shilov boundaries ˇS(Di), and that by contrast to arbitrary solvable algebras, automorphisms of T(D) that are trivial on their character spaces ˇS(D) are trivial on the entire spectrum ˆT(D).

We study the C∗-algebra T/K where T is the C∗-algebra generated by d weighted shifts on the Fock space of Cd, F(Cd), (where the weights are given by a sequence {Zk} of matrices Zk∈Mdk(C)) and K is the algebra of compact operators on the Fock space. If Zk=I for every k, T/K is the Cuntz algebra Od. We show that T/K is isomorphic to a Cuntz--Pimsner algebra and use it to find conditions for the algebra to be simple. We present examples of simple and of nonsimple algebras of this type. We also describe the C∗-representations of T/K.

Let M⊂B(H) be a von Neumann algebra acting on the (separable) Hilbert space H. We first prove that M is finite if and only if, for every x∈M and for all vectors ξ,η∈H, the coefficient function u↦⟨uxu∗ξ|η⟩ is weakly almost periodic on the topological group UM of unitaries in M (equipped with the weak operator topology). The main device is the unique invariant mean on the C∗-algebra WAP(UM) of weakly almost periodic functions on UM. Next, we prove that every coefficient function u↦⟨uxu∗ξ|η⟩ is almost periodic if and only if M is a direct sum of a diffuse, abelian von Neumann algebra and finite-dimensional factors. Incidentally, we prove that if M is a diffuse von Neumann algebra, then its unitary group is minimally almost periodic.

The following paper is devoted to the study of type I locally compact quantum groups. We show how various operators related to the modular theory of the Haar integrals on G and ˆG act on the level of direct integrals. Using these results we derive a web of implications between properties such as unimodularity or traciality of the Haar integrals. We also study in detail two examples: discrete quantum group ˆSUq(2) and the quantum az+b group.

We introduce a ``dual-space approach'' to mixed Nevanlinna--Pick Carath'eodory-Schur interpolation in Banach spaces X of holomorphic functions on the disk. Our approach can be viewed as complementary to the well-known commutant lifting one of D. Sarason and B. Nagy-C. Foiac{s}. We compute the norm of the minimal interpolant in X by a version of the Hahn-Banach theorem, which we use to extend functionals defined on a subspace of kernels without increasing their norm. This functional extension lemma plays a similar role as Sarason's commutant lifting theorem but it only involves the predual of X and no Hilbert space structure is needed. As an example, we present the respective Pick-type interpolation theorems for Beurling-Sobolev spaces.

For entire functions f and g we determine exactly when the product H¯¯¯fT¯¯¯g of the Hankel operator H¯¯¯f and the Toeplitz operator T¯¯¯g is bounded on the Fock space F2α. This solves a natural companion to Sarason's Toeplitz product problem.

We show that a C∗-algebra A which is stably isomorphic to a unital graph C∗-algebra, is isomorphic to a graph C∗-algebra if and only if it admits an approximate unit of projections. As a consequence, a hereditary C∗-subalgebra of a unital real rank zero graph C∗-algebra is isomorphic to a graph C∗-algebra. Furthermore, if a C∗-algebra A admits an approximate unit of projections, then its minimal unitization is isomorphic to a graph C∗-algebra if and only if A is stably isomorphic to a unital graph C∗-algebra.

Given two m×n matrices A=(aij) and B=(bij) with entries in B(H) for some Hilbert space H, the Schur block product is the m×n matrix A□B:=(aijbij). There exists an m×n matrix S=(sij) with entries from B(H) such that S is a contraction operator and A□B=(diag(AA∗))1/2S(diag(B∗B))1/2. The analogus result for the block Schur tensor product ⊠ defined by Horn and Mathias in cite{HM} holds too. This kind of decomposition of the Schur product seems to be unknown, even for scalar matrices. Based on the theory of random matrices we show that the set of contractions S, which may appear in such a decomposition, is a textit{thin} set in the ball of all contractions.

e study several classes of general non-linear positive maps between C∗-algebras, which are not necessary completely positive maps. We characterize the class of the compositions of ∗-multiplicative maps and positive linear maps as the class of non-linear maps of boundedly positive type abstractly. We consider three classes of non-linear positive maps defined only on the positive cones, which are the classes of being monotone, supercongruent or concave. Any concave maps are monotone. The intersection of the monotone maps and the supercongruent maps characterizes the class of monotone Borel functional calculus. We give many examples of non-linear positive maps, which show that there exist no other relations among these three classes in general.
