About this title

Review

"The theory for the normal derivations is developed very clearly in this important book, and the subject is one of the most central ones in the modern theory of operator algebras. It is written by one of the prime movers, and it is addressed to a wide audience. It should be a useful introduction to the subject." Palle E.T. Jørgensen, Mathematical Reviews

"...makes for pleasant browsing and really worthwhile reading....This volume is a gem!" Richard V. Kadison, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society

Book Description

This book is concerned with the theory of unbounded derivations in C*-algebras, a subject whose study was motivated by questions in quantum physics and statistical mechanics, and to which the author has made a considerable contribution. This presentation concentrates on topics involving quantum statistical mechanics and differentiations on manifolds.
