Operator Algebras and Their Modules - An operator space approach

• A unique reference presenting the general theory of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space and the modules over such algebras
• All the basic tools and constructions in one comprehensive volume with detailed notes
• Authoritative first-hand account from major contributors to the field

This invaluable reference tool is the first to present the general theory of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space, and the modules over such algebras. The new theory of operator spaces is presented early on and the text assembles the basic concepts, theory and methodologies needed to equip a beginning researcher in this area.

Readership: Graduate students and researchers in functional analysis, operator algebras, and operator spaces. Also researchers in related areas such as Banach algebras, function spaces, or Banach space theory.
