The multiplier algebra of the noncommutative Schwartz space (Q2011950)

The noncommutative Schwartz space is a specific \(m\)-convex Fréchet \(*\)-algebra. Indeed, it is isomorphic to several operator algebras naturally appearing in analysis, for example, to the algebra \(\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{S}'( \mathbb{R} ),\mathcal{S}( \mathbb{R} ))\) of continuous linear operators from \(\mathcal{S}'( \mathbb{R} )\) to \(\mathcal{S}( \mathbb{R} )\), where \(\mathcal{S}( \mathbb{R} )\) is the well-known Schwartz space of smooth rapidly decreasing functions and \(\mathcal{S}'( \mathbb{R} )\) is the space of tempered distributions, to the algebra \(\mathcal{L}(s',s)\), or to the algebra of rapidly decreasing matrices. It is also isomorphic topologically, but not as an algebra, to the Fréchet space \(\mathcal{S}( \mathbb{R} )\), which explains its name. The aim of this paper is to study algebraic and topological properties of the multiplier algebra of the noncommutative Schwartz space, denoted by \(\mathcal{M} \mathcal{S}\). The authors describe this multiplier algebra and show that it can be regarded as the largest \(*\)-algebra of unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space with the classical Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions as the domain. They show that \(\mathcal{M} \mathcal{S}\) is neither a \(\mathcal{S}\)-algebra nor \(m\)-convex. The authors show that, in spite of the fact that \(\mathcal{M} \mathcal{S}\) is neither Banach nor metrizable, the closed graph theorem, the open mapping theorem, and the uniform boundedness principle hold on this space.
