    Fields Institute Monographs
    Volume: 13; 2000; 323 pp
    MSC: Primary 46

    This book resulted from the lectures held at The Fields Institute (Waterloo, ON, Canada). Leading international experts presented current results on the theory of \(C^*\)-algebras and von Neumann algebras, together with recent work on the classification of \(C^*\)-algebras. Much of the material in the book is appearing here for the first time and is not available elsewhere in the literature.

    Titles in this series are co-published with The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).
    Readership

    Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in operator theory.

    • Contains ... a nice illustration of Elliott's classification techniques for inductive limits ... richly illustrated article ... on paths on Coxeter diagrams and sub-factors ... particularly welcome ... Overall this is a very nicely and surprisingly uniformly written book which is of interest both for the novice and the expert in operator algebras ... It may be hoped that the book will inspire some young researcher to new invention.
