Teaching (Fall 2022)
I am on a faculty development leave this semester and am not teaching.Research

- Structure for Regular Inclusions. (Unpublished). This 2012 preprint can be downloaded from the arXiv. Notes and Updates: The results of sections 1–6 and 9 in this 2012 preprint appear in the Journal of Operator Theory article, Structure for Regular Inclusions. I, which is also listed below. In this published article, many of the proofs of sections 1–6 and 9 have been streamlined or extended, the role of Frolik's theorem is emphasized, and new results concerning minimal norms added. The results of section 8 of this 2012 preprint have been expanded and updated; they appear in the Journal of Functional Analysis article, Structure for Regular Inclusions II: Cartan envelopes, pseudo-expectations and twists (this article is also listed below). The results of section 7 will appear elsewhere.
