About this book
The book's unifying theme is the Banach space duality for operator algebras. This allows the reader to recognize the affinity between operator algebras and measure theory on locally compact spaces. Very technical sections are clearly labeled and there are extensive comments by the author, a good historical background and excercises.
This book is part of the subseries of the EMS on Operator Algebras and Non-Commutative Geometry.
Reviews
"... These three bulky volumes [EMS 124, 125, 127], written by one of the most prominent researchers of the area, provide an introduction to this repidly developing theory. ... These books can be warmly recommended to every graduate student who wants to become acquainted with this exciting branch of matematics. Furthermore, they should be on the bookshelf of every researcher of the area." (László Kérchy, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 69, 2003)
