William Arveson Papers
The William Arveson papers document his career as a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley from 1969 to 2011. Professor Arveson was a leading expert and original researcher in the theory of operators and operator algebras, areas with close ties to physics, especially to quantum theory. The collection is arranged into eight series: Correspondence, Writings, Lectures and Seminars, Teaching Materials (including UCLA, Harvard and UCB), UCB Departmental Files, Professional Files, Research Files, and Biographical Materials.
Ten Lectures on Operator Algebras
This book contains expanded versions of ten lectures delivered at Texas Tech University in the summer of 1983. The operator algebras of the title are nonselfadjoint algebras of operators on Hilbert space.
An Invitation to C*-Algebras
This book gives an introduction to C*-algebras and their representations on Hilbert spaces. We have tried to present only what we believe are the most basic ideas, as simply and concretely as we could. So whenever it is convenient (and it usually is), Hilbert spaces become separable and C*-algebras become GCR. This practice probably creates an impression that nothing of value is known about other C*-algebras. Of course that is not true. But insofar as representations are con cerned, we can point to the empirical fact that to this day no one has given a concrete parametric description of even the irreducible representations of any C*-algebra which is not GCR. Indeed, there is metamathematical...
A Short Course on Spectral Theory
This book presents the basic tools of modern analysis within the context of the fundamental problem of operator theory: to calculate spectra of specific operators on infinite dimensional spaces, especially operators on Hilbert spaces. The tools are diverse, and they provide the basis for more refined methods that allow one to approach problems that go well beyond the computation of spectra: the mathematical foundations of quantum physics, noncommutative K-theory, and the classification of simple C*-algebras being three areas of current research activity which require mastery of the material presented here.
Noncommutative Dynamics and E-Semigroups
These days, the term Noncommutative Dynamics has several interpretations. It is used in this book to refer to a set of phenomena associated with the dynamical evo lution of quantum systems of the simplest kind that involve rigorous mathematical structures associated with infinitely many degrees of freedom. The dynamics of such a system is represented by a one-parameter group of automorphisms of a non commutative algebra of observables, and we focus primarily on the most concrete case in which that algebra consists of all bounded operators on a Hilbert space. If one introduces a natural causal structure into such a dynamical system, then a pair of one-parameter semigroups of endomorphisms eme...
Operator Theory And Analysis Of Infinite Networks
This volume considers resistance networks: large graphs which are connected, undirected, and weighted. Such networks provide a discrete model for physical processes in inhomogeneous media, including heat flow through perforated or porous media. These graphs also arise in data science, e.g., considering geometrizations of datasets, statistical inference, or the propagation of memes through social networks. Indeed, network analysis plays a crucial role in many other areas of data science and engineering. In these models, the weights on the edges may be understood as conductances, or as a measure of similarity. Resistance networks also arise in probability, as they correspond to a broad class o...
Differential Geometry and Control
Contains papers from a summer 1997 meeting on recent developments and important open problems in geometric control theory. Topics include linear control systems in Lie groups and controllability, real analytic geometry and local observability, singular extremals of order 3 and chattering, infinite time horizon stochastic control problems in hyperbolic three space, and Monge-Ampere equations.

Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Field Theory and Perturbative String Theory
Conceptual progress in fundamental theoretical physics is linked with the search for the suitable mathematical structures that model the physical systems. Quantum field theory (QFT) has proven to be a rich source of ideas for mathematics for a long time. However, fundamental questions such as ``What is a QFT?'' did not have satisfactory mathematical answers, especially on spaces with arbitrary topology, fundamental for the formulation of perturbative string theory. This book contains a collection of papers highlighting the mathematical foundations of QFT and its relevance to perturbative string theory as well as the deep techniques that have been emerging in the last few years. The papers are organized under three main chapters: Foundations for Quantum Field Theory, Quantization of Field Theories, and Two-Dimensional Quantum Field Theories. An introduction, written by the editors, provides an overview of the main underlying themes that bind together the papers in the volume.
