Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This volume consists of articles contributed by participants at the
fourth Ja pan-U.S. Joint Seminar on Operator Algebras. The seminar
took place at the University of Pennsylvania from May 23 through
May 27, 1988 under the auspices of the Mathematics Department. It
was sponsored and supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion
of Science and the National Science Foundation (USA). This
sponsorship and support is acknowledged with gratitude. The seminar
was devoted to discussions and lectures on results and prob lems
concerning mappings of operator algebras (C*-and von Neumann alge
bras). Among the articles contained in these proceedings, there are
papers dealing with actions of groups on C* algebras, completely
bounded mappings, index and subfactor theory, and derivations of
operator algebras. The seminar was held in honor of the sixtieth
birthday of Sh6ichir6 Sakai, one of the great leaders of Functional
Analysis for many decades. This vol ume is dedicated to Professor
Sakai, on the occasion of that birthday, with the respect and
admiration of all the contributors and the participants at the
seminar. H. Araki Kyoto, Japan R. Kadison Philadelphia,

These volumes are companions to the treatise; "Fundamentals of the
Theory of Operator Algebras," which appeared as Volume 100 - I and
II in the series, Pure and Applied Mathematics, published by
Academic Press in 1983 and 1986, respectively. As stated in the
preface to those volumes, "Their primary goal is to teach the sub
ject and lead the reader to the point where the vast recent
research literature, both in the subject proper and in its many
applications, becomes accessible." No attempt was made to be
encyclopcedic; the choice of material was made from among the
fundamentals of what may be called the "classical" theory of
operator algebras. By way of supplementing the topics selected for
presentation in "Fundamentals," a substantial list of exercises
comprises the last section of each chapter. An equally important
purpose of those exer cises is to develop "hand-on" skills in use
ofthe techniques appearing in the text. As a consequence, each
exercise was carefully designed to depend only on the material that
precedes it, and separated into segments each of which is
realistically capable of solution by an at tentive, diligent,
well-motivated reader."

The techniques and concepts of modern algebra are introduced for
their natural role in the study of projectile geometry; groups
appear as automorphism groups of configurations, division rings
appear in the study of Desargues' theorem and the study of the
independence of the seven axioms given for projectile geometry.
