Theorem 5.5. Let \( X \) be a Stein manifold, \( q \geq 1 \) . If \( \varphi \) is a form of the type \( \left( {p, q}\right) \) on \( X \) with \( {d}^{\prime \prime }\varphi = 0 \), then on \( X \) there exists a form \( \psi \) of the type \( \left( {p, q - 1}\right) \) , with \( {d}^{\prime \prime }\psi = \varphi \...
Proof. By Theorem B \( {H}^{q}\left( {X,{\Omega }^{p}}\right) = 0 \) for \( q \geq 1 \) ; therefore \( {H}^{p, q}\left( X\right) = 0 \) for \( q \geq 1 \) .

Theorem 5.6. \( {H}^{r}\left( X\right) \simeq {H}^{r}\left( {X,\mathbb{C}}\right) \) for \( r \geq 0 \) .
Since\n\n\[ \n{\mathcal{A}}^{\prime } = {\bigoplus }_{p + q = \ell }{\mathcal{A}}^{p, q} \n\]\n\nwe would expect that a connection between the topological cohomology groups \( {H}^{r}\left( {X,\mathbb{C}}\right) \) and the analytically defined cohomology groups \( {H}^{q}\left( {X,{\Omega }^{p}}\right) \) exists.

Theorem 1.1.2. Let \( S \) and \( T \) be normal operators. Then \( S \) and \( T \) are algebraically equivalent if, and only if, they have the same spectrum.
Proof. Assume first that \( \operatorname{sp}\left( S\right) = \operatorname{sp}\left( T\right) \) .

Corollary 1. Every ideal in a \( {C}^{ \star } \) -algebra is self-adjoint (i.e., is closed under the *-operation).
Proof. Let \( J \) be an ideal in a \( {C}^{ * } \) -algebra \( A \), and let \( x \) be an element of \( J \) . By 1.3.1 we can find a sequence \( {e}_{n} = {e}_{n}^{ \star } \) in \( J \) so that \( x = \mathop{\lim }\limits_{n}x{e}_{n} \) . By taking adjoints we have \( {x}^{ \star } = \lim {e}_{n}{x}^{ \star } \), ...

Corollary 2. \( A/J \) is a \( {C}^{ \star } \) -algebra.

Theorem 1.3.2. Let \( A \) and \( B \) be \( {C}^{ * } \) -algebras and let \( \pi \) be a \( * \) -homomorphism of \( A \) into \( B \) . Then \( \pi \) is continuous and \( \pi \left( A\right) \) is a \( {C}^{ \star } \) -subalgebra of \( B.\pi \) induces an isometric *-isomorphism of the quotient \( A/\ker \pi \) on...

Lemma 1.4.1. Let \( E \) be a nonzero projection in \( \mathcal{A} \). Then \( E \) is minimal iff \( E\mathcal{A}E = \{ {\lambda E} : \lambda \in \mathbb{C}\} \).
Proof. If \( E\mathcal{A}E \) consists of scalar multiples of \( E \), then \( E \) is minimal. Conversely, assume \( E \) is minimal. It suffices to show that \( {ETE} \) is a scalar multiple of \( E \), for every self-adjoint \( T \in \mathcal{A} \). Considering the spectral formula for \( {ETE} \) we have \( {ETE} =...

Theorem 1.4.2. If \( \mathcal{A} \) is irreducible then \( \mathcal{A} = \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) .
Proof. Note first that \( \mathcal{A} \) contains a projection of rank 1 . For if \( F \) is a nonzero spectral projection of any self-adjoint operator in \( \mathcal{A} \) then by the lemma \( F \) contains a minimal projection \( E \), and it suffices to show that \( E \) has rank 1 .

Corollary 1. \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) contains no ideals other than 0 and \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) .
Proof. Let \( \mathcal{A} \neq 0 \) be an ideal in \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) . Applying 1.3.4 to the identity representation of \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) we see that \( \mathcal{A} \) is irreducible, and 1.4.2 shows that \( \mathcal{A} = \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \)

Corollary 2. Let \( \mathcal{B} \) be an irreducible \( {C}^{ \star } \) -algebra of operators on \( \mathcal{H} \) which contains a nonzero compact operator. The \( \mathcal{B} \) contains \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) .
Proof. \( \mathcal{B} \cap \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) is a nonzero ideal in \( \mathcal{B} \) . Arguing as in Corollary 1 we see that \( \mathcal{B} \cap \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) is irreducible, and by \( {1.4.2}\mathcal{B} \cap \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) = \mathcal{C}\left( \mathc...

Proof. The map \( T \rightarrow {\left. T\right| }_{{\mathcal{H}}_{0}} \) is a \( \star \) -homomorphism of \( \mathcal{A} \) into \( \mathcal{C}\left( {\mathcal{H}}_{0}\right) \) whose range is \( {\left. \mathcal{A}\right| }_{{\mathcal{H}}_{0}} \) .

Proof. First note that there is a minimal projection \( E \in \mathcal{A} \) such that \( \pi \left( E\right) \neq \) 0 . To see that, choose \( T = {T}^{ \star } \in \mathcal{A} \) such that \( \pi \left( T\right) \neq 0 \) . By our initial remarks about the spectral theorem there is a spectral projection \( F \) of \...

Corollary 1. Every representation of \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) is equivalent to a multiple of the identity representation.
Proof. Let \( \pi \) be a representation of \( \mathcal{A} \) on \( \mathcal{K} \) . Since the identity representation \( {id} \) of \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) is itself irreducible, it follows that \( \pi \) has a decomposition \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{i}{\pi }_{i} \) into orthogonal subrepresentation...

Proof. Consider first the case \( \alpha : \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \rightarrow \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{K}\right) \) . Then \( \alpha \) is an irreducible representation of \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \), and the conclusion follows from Corollary 2.\n\nNow suppose \( \alpha \) is a \( \star \...

Proposition 1.5.2. Let \( A \) be a CCR algebra and let \( \pi \) and \( \sigma \) be irreducible representations of \( A \) such that \( \ker \pi \subseteq \ker \sigma \) . Then \( \pi \) and \( \sigma \) are equivalent.
Proof. Suppose \( \pi \) and \( \sigma \) act on Hilbert spaces \( \mathcal{H} \) and \( \mathcal{K} \) . By the preceding remarks \( \pi \left( A\right) = \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \), and by the hypothesis ker \( \pi \subseteq \ker \sigma \), the mapping \( \lambda : \pi \left( x\right) \rightarrow \sigma ...

Proposition 1.5.4. Let \( A \) be a GCR algebra. Then for every irreducible representation \( \pi \) of \( A \) on \( \mathcal{H},\pi \left( A\right) \) contains \( \mathcal{C}\left( \mathcal{H}\right) \) . Two irreducible representations of \( A \) which have the same kernel are equivalent.
Proof. Now \( \pi \left( A\right) \) is \( \star \) -isomorphic with \( A/\ker \pi \) and therefore it contains a nonzero CCR ideal. Since the identity representation of the ideal is irreducible (1.3.4) this implies in particular that \( \pi \left( A\right) \) contains a nonzero compact operator. Therefore the first co...

Theorem 1.5.5. Every GCR algebra \( A \) has exactly one composition series \( \left\{ {{J}_{\alpha } : 0 \leq \alpha \leq {\alpha }_{0}}\right\} \) with the property that \( {J}_{\alpha + 1}/{J}_{\alpha } \) is the largest CCR ideal in \( A/{J}_{\alpha } \) for every \( \alpha ,0 \leq \alpha < {\alpha }_{0} \) . Conve...
Proof. Let \( A \) be a GCR algebra. We define the series \( \left\{ {J}_{\alpha }\right\} \) by transfinite induction. Put \( {J}_{0} = 0 \) . Note that \( A = A/{J}_{0} \) contains a nonzero CCR ideal. Inductively, let \( \beta \) be an ordinal such that \( {J}_{\alpha } \) has been defined for all \( \alpha < \beta ...

Lemma 1. If \( x \) and \( y \) are self-adjoint elements of \( A \) with \( \operatorname{sp}\left( x\right) \geq 0 \) and \( \operatorname{sp}\left( y\right) \geq 0 \), then \( \operatorname{sp}\left( {x + y}\right) \geq 0 \) .
Proof. By multiplying the sum \( x + y \) by a sufficiently small positive scalar, if necessary, we may assume \( \parallel x\parallel \leq 1 \) and \( \parallel y\parallel \leq 1 \) . Now since the spectral radius does not exceed the norm, the spectrum of \( x \) must be contained in the real interval \( \left\lbrack ...

Lemma 1, applied to the elements \( - {z}^{ * }z \) and \( - z{z}^{ * } \), implies that \( \operatorname{sp}\left( {{z}^{ \star }z + z{z}^{ ...

Theorem 1.7.1. For every \( z \) in \( A \), one has \( \operatorname{sp}\left( {{z}^{ \star }z}\right) \geq 0 \) .
