Abstract

Let $H$ be a separable, infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space and let $L(H)$ be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on $H$. A dual algebra is a subalgebra of $L(H)$ that contains the identity operator $I_H$ and is closed in the ultraweak operator topology on $L(H)$. Note that the ultraweak operator topology coincides with the weak topology on $L(H) (cf. [6]). Several functional analysists have studied the problem of solving systems of simultaneous equations in the predual of a dual algebra (cf. [3]). This theory is applied to the study of invariant subspaces and dilation theory, which are deeply related to the classes $A_{m,n}$ (that will be defined below) (cf. [3]). An abstract geometric criterion for dual algebras with property $(A_{\aleph_0}, {\aleph_0})$ was first given in [1].
