Abstract: We describe the multiplier algebra of the noncommutative Schwartz space. This multiplier algebra can be seen as the largest ∗-algebra of unbounded operators on a separable Hilbert space with the classical Schwartz space of rapidly decreasing functions as the domain. We show in particular that it is neither a mathcalQ-algebra nor m-convex. On the other hand, we prove that classical tools of functional analysis, for example, the closed graph theorem, the open mapping theorem or the uniform boundedness principle, are still available.


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.
