An Invitation to C*-Algebras (Graduate Texts in Mathematics 39)

By William Arveson

Book Overview

This book is an introduction to C *-algebras and their representations on Hilbert spaces. The presentation is as simple and concrete as possible; the book is written for a second-year graduate student who is familiar with the basic results of functional analysis, measure theory and Hilbert spaces. The author does not aim for great generality, but confines himself to the best-known and also to the most important parts of the theory and the applications.
