A C * -algebraic Schoenberg theorem

Ola Bratteli, Palle E. T. Jorgensen, Akitaka Kishimoto, Donald W. Robinson (1984)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let 𝔄 be a C * -algebra, G a compact abelian group, τ an action of G by * -automorphisms of 𝔄 , 𝔄 τ the fixed point algebra of τ and 𝔄 F the dense sub-algebra of G -finite elements in 𝔄 . Further let H be a linear operator from 𝔄 F into 𝔄 which commutes with τ and vanishes on 𝔄 τ . We prove that H is a complete dissipation if and only if H is closable and its closure generates a C 0 -semigroup of completely positive contractions. These complete dissipations are classified in terms of certain twisted negative definite...

A characterization of evolution operators

Naoki Tanaka (2001)

Studia Mathematica

A class of evolution operators is introduced according to the device of Kato. An evolution operator introduced here provides a classical solution of the linear equation u'(t) = A(t)u(t) for t ∈ [0,T], in a general Banach space. The paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of such an evolution operator.
