The primary purpose of this memoir is to give a realization of the representation [italic]U of a locally compact group [italic]G, induced from a representation [italic]L of a closed subgroup [italic]H, on a continuous sum of Banach spaces over the coset space [italic]G/[italic]H.

This is an all-encompassing and exhaustive exposition of the theory of infinite-dimensional Unitary Representations of Locally Compact Groups and its generalization to representations of Banach algebras. The presentation is detailed, accessible, and self-contained (except for some elementary knowledge in algebra, topology, and abstract measure theory). In the later chapters the reader is brought to the frontiers of present-day knowledge in the area of Mackey normal subgroup analysisand its generalization to the context of Banach *-Algebraic Bundles.

The purpose of this memoir is twofold: to extend the notions of kernel and integral operator to the context of continuous sums of Banach spaces; and to extend to this setting, certain well-known conditions for an integral operator to be compact, Hilbert-Schmidt and trace-class.

This second of two volumes gives a modern exposition of the theory of Banach algebras.

Three-part treatment covers background material on definitions, terminology, operators in Hilbert space domains of representations, operators in the enveloping algebra, spectral theory; and covariant representation and connections. 2017 edition.

Provides the fundamentals of representations of finitely presented *-algebras by bounded operators. The theory is illustrated with numerous examples of *-algebra. The examples, in particular, include *-algebra with two self-adjoint generators that satisfy a quadratic or a more general relation, *-algebra with three or four generators, *-algebra that arise from one- and many-dimensional discrete dynamical systems. Wick *-algebra various; *-wild algebras. This book is intended for graduate students as well as researchers.

Covering a range of subjects from operator theory and classical harmonic analysis to Banach space theory, this book contains survey and expository articles by leading experts in their corresponding fields, and features fully-refereed, high-quality papers exploring new results and trends in spectral theory, mathematical physics, geometric function theory, and partial differential equations. Graduate students and researchers in analysis will find inspiration in the articles collected in this volume, which emphasize the remarkable connections between harmonic analysis and operator theory. Another shared research interest of the contributors of this volume lies in the area of applied harmonic analysis, where a new notion called chromatic derivatives has recently been introduced in communication engineering. The material for this volume is based on the 13th New Mexico Analysis Seminar held at the University of New Mexico, April 3-4, 2014 and on several special sections of the Western Spring Sectional Meeting at the University of New Mexico, April 4-6, 2014. During the event, participants honored the memory of Cora Sadosky—a great mathematician who recently passed away and who made significant contributions to the field of harmonic analysis. Cora was an exceptional mathematician and human being. She was a world expert in harmonic analysis and operator theory, publishing over fifty-five research papers and authoring a major textbook in the field. Participants of the conference include new and senior researchers, recent doctorates as well as leading experts in the area.
