C*-algebras
by John Erdos
Publisher: King's College, London 2003
Number of pages: 51
Description:
These notes form an introductory account of C*-algebras. Some results on more general commutative Banach algebras, whose proofs require little extra effort, are included. There are accounts of two applications of the commutative theory: the C*-algebra approach to the spectral theorem for bounded normal operators on Hilbert space and a brief introduction to the ideas of abstract harmonic analysis.

Shape Analysis, Lebesgue Integration and Absolute Continuity Connectionsby Javier Bernal - arXiv.org
As shape analysis is intricately related to Lebesgue integration and absolute continuity, it is advantageous to have a good grasp of the two notions. We review basic concepts and results about Lebesgue integration and absolute continuity.
