Combinatorial Set Theory of C*-Algebras (Springer Monographs in Mathematics)

This book explores and highlights the fertile interaction between logic and operator algebras, which in recent years has led to the resolution of several long-standing open problems on C*-algebras.The author is at the forefront of research on the interplay between logic and operator algebras (C*-algebras, in particular).The deep level of scholarship contained in these pages opens doors to operator algebraists interested in learning about the set-theoretic methods relevant to their field, as well as to set-theorists interested in expanding their view to the non-commutative realm of operator algebras.Enough background is included from both subjects to make this book a convenient, self-contained source for students. Exercises form an integral part of the text. They widen and deepen the material from the corresponding chapters.Other exercises serve as a warmup for the latter chapters. This second edition furthers the aims of the first, improving proofs and providing new insights into the r
