This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the general theory of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. Beginning with the basics, the theory is developed through such topics as tensor products, nuclearity and exactness, crossed products, K-theory, and quasidiagonality. The presentation carefully and precisely explains the main features of each part of the theory of operator algebras; most important arguments are at least outlined and many are presented in full detail.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"The volume under review is supposed to cover basics on operator algebras ... . Blackadar's book is very well written and pleasant to read. It is especially suited to readers who already know the basics of operator algebras but who need a reference for some result or who wish to have a unified approach to topics treated by them." (Paul Jolissaint, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 k)
"This volume is an important and useful contribution to the literature on C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. ... The book is extremely well written. It can be recommended as a reference to graduate students working in operator algebra theory and to other mathematicians who want to bring themselves up-to-date on the subject." (V. M. Manuilov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1092 (18), 2006)
