この科目は英語で行います.
C*環とはヒルベルト空間の有界線形作用素のノルムで閉じた環であり,定義に関数解析の部分と代数学の部分が混ざっています.この科目ではC*環を入門し,基礎の性質(Gelfand-Naimark定理,スペクトル定理,GNS構成法など)を考察します.局所コンパクトHausdorff空間,離散群,離散群作用からC*環が作ることができて,この例を詳しく勉強する予定です. |

授業の目的 【英語】 Goals of the Course | | Course title: C*-algebras
C*-algebras are algebras that can be naturally considered as a norm-closed subalgebra of the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space. In this course, we will introduce the theory of C*-algebras, which combines elements of (functional) analysis with abstract algebra, and consider their elementary properties. Topics will include the Gelfand-Naimark Theorem, The Spectral Theorem, continuous functional calculus and the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction.
Some natural settings where C*-algebras emerge include locally compact Hausdorff spaces, discrete groups and groups acting on spaces. The latter part of the topic will look at these examples in detail, particularly C*-algebras for discrete groups. |

到達目標 【英語】 Objectives of the Course | | By the end of the course, students will understand the definition and elementary properties of C*-algebras, which bring together elements of analysis and algebra. Students will also be able to construct C*-algebras for discrete groups and, when the group is abelian, its connection to Fourier theory. |
