โฆ Synopsis
This book is the most comprehensive treatment available of 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, classification of injective factors, K-theory, finiteness, stable rank, and quasidiagonality.
The presentation concentrates on carefully and precisely explaining 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, so the volume is much more than a mere survey.

This book constitutes a first- or second-year graduate course in operator theory. It is a field that has great importance for other areas of mathematics and physics, such as algebraic topology, differential geometry, and quantum mechanics. It assumes a basic knowledge in functional analysis but no p
Let (M, 1 ) be a Hopf von Neumann algebra. The operator predual M \* of M is a completely contractive Banach algebra with multiplication m=1 \* : M \* M \* ร M \* . We call (M, 1 ) operator amenable if the completely contractive Banach algebra M \* is operator amenable, i.e., for every operator M \*
