Hilbert C*-modules

the long version

"The present book is an introduction to the theory of Hilbert C -modules. The authors explain in detail the basic notions and results of the theory, and provide a number of important examples. Some results related of the authors' research interests are also included. A large part of the book is devoted in structural results (self-duality, reflexivity) and to nomad jointable operators." "Most of the book can be read with only a basic knowledge of functional analysis; however, some experience in the theory of operator algebras makes reading easier."--BOOK JACKET.
