C*-Algebras and Their Automorphism Groups, Second Edition, is an updated edition of Gert Kj?rg?rd Pedersen’s 1979 classic. This edition reflects the wealth of novel results revealed over the past forty years. Revered for its writing clarity and elegant presentation of operator algebras, Pedersen’s monograph is notable for reviewing partially ordered vector spaces and group automorphisms in unusual detail, diminishing von Neumann algebras as an ancillary to C*-algebrae. Edited by S?ren Eilers, this edition modernizes Pedersen’s work for a new generation of C*-algebraists, including new commentary and indexes, annotation and terminology appendices, and new applications, including the K-theory toolbox.- Expands coverage to identify key results discovered over 40 years of C*-algebra research, including K-theory - Replaces antiquated notation and terminology with modern variants, and greatly enhances indexing throughout - Modernizes coverage of algebraic problems in relation to the theory of unitary representations of locally compact groups - Reveals how to apply results to the modern mathematical formulation of quantum mechanics in Hilbert spaces - Reviews the mathematical accomplishments of Gert Kj?rg?rd Pedersen in a new biography
