Beschreibung
This monograph presents a complete and self-contained solution to the
long-standing problem of giving a geometric description of state
spaces of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, and of their Jordan
algebraic analogs (JB-algebras and JBW-algebras). The material, which
previously has appeared only in research papers and required
substantial prerequisites for a reader's understanding, is made
accessible here to a broad mathematical audience. Geometry of State
Spaces of Operator Algebras is intended for specialists in operator
algebras, as well as graduate students and mathematicians in other
areas.
