On dilation theorems of operator algebras (Q1327641)

This paper is a sequel study of those by \textit{M. Marsalli} [J. Oper. Theory 17, 301-308 (1987; Zbl 0621.47041)]. Let \(H\) be a separable complex Hilbert space and let \(A\) be a unital subalgebra of \(L(H)\). Suppose that \(\tau\) is one of the following topologies: weak operator topology, operator-normed topology, strong operator topology, \(\text{weak}^*\)-topology (or equivalently, ultra-weak operator topology) or ultra-strong operator topology on \(L(H)\). For cardinal numbers \(m\) and \(n\) with \(1\leq m\), \(n\leq \aleph_ 0\), the subalgebra \(A\) is said to have property \((\tau_{m,n})\) if for any system \(\{\phi_{i,j}\}_{0\leq i< m,0\leq j< n}\) of \(\tau\)-continuous forms on \(A\), there exist \(\{x_ i\}_{0\leq i< m}\) and \(\{y_ j\}_{0\leq j< n}\) in \(H\) such that \(\phi_{ij}(S)= (Sx_ i,y_ j)\) for \(0\leq i< m\), \(0\leq j< n\) and \(S\in A\). The authors give some dilation theorems of \(A\) with properties \((\tau_{m,n})\) and characterize properties \((\tau_{1,n})\) to dilations of operator algebras. Applications to dual operator algebras concerned with a contraction operator are presented.
