Quantized moment problem (Q886277)

In this note, a fractional space technique is developed in the context of local operator spaces in order to solve a quantized moment problem. The author proves that each local operator algebra is a fractional subspace of the multinormed \(C^*\)-algebra \({\mathcal C}_{\mathcal E}({\mathcal D})\) of all noncommutative continuous functions on a quantized domain \({\mathcal D}\) with an exhaustion \({\mathcal E}=\{H_\alpha\}_{\alpha\in\Lambda}\). A version of the noncommutative Albrecht--Vasilescu extension theorem is presented and used to derive a solution to the quantized moment problem: a unital linear mapping \(\phi\) defined on \({\mathcal P}_S\) (the polynomial *-algebra generated by a \(n\)-tuple \(S=(S_1,\dots,S_n)\) of mutually commuting symmetric operators in \({\mathcal C}_{\mathcal E}({\mathcal D})\)) into \(SF(\Delta)\) (the space of all sesquilinear forms on a pre-Hilbert space \(\Delta\)) is an \(H_\alpha\)-moment form (or local moment form) if and only if \(\phi\) is a completely \(\alpha\)-contractive inner product mapping.
