On Well-behaved Unbounded Representations of *-Algebras
Abstract
Description
A general approach to the well-behaved unbounded *-representations of a *-algebra X is proposed. Let B be a normed *-algebra equipped with a left action |> of X on B such that (x |> a)^+ b=a^+(x^+ |> b) for a,b\in B and x\in X. Then the pair (X,B) is called a compatible pair. For any continuous non-degenerate *-representation ρof B there exists a closed *-representation ρ' of X such that ρ'(x)ρ(b)=ρ(x |> b), where x\in X and b\in B. The *-representations ρ' are called the well-behaved *-representations associated with the compatible pair (X,B). A number of examples are developed in detail.
