Fix a unital C∗-algebra A, and write A sa for the set of self-adjoint elements of A. Also, if f: R→ ℂ is a continuous function, then write f A: A sa→ A for the operator function a↦ f (a) defined via functional calculus. In this paper, we introduce and study a space N C k (R) of C k functions f: R→ ℂ such that, no matter the choice of A, the operator function f A: A sa→ A is k-times continuously Fréchet differentiable. In other words, if f∈ N C k (R), then f “lifts” to a C k map f A: A sa→ A, for any (possibly noncommutative) unital C∗-algebra A. For this reason, we call N C k (R) the space of noncommutative C k functions. Our proof that f A∈ C k (A sa; A), which requires only knowledge of the Fréchet derivatives of polynomials and operator norm estimates for “multiple operator integrals”(MOIs), is more elementary than the standard approach; nevertheless, N C k (R) contains all functions for which comparable results are known. Specifically, we prove that N C k (R) contains the homogeneous Besov space B ̇ 1 k,∞(R) and the Hölder space C loc k, ɛ (R). We highlight, however, that the results in this paper are the first of their type to be proven for arbitrary unital C∗-algebras, and that the extension to such a general setting makes use of the author’s recent resolution of certain “separability issues” with the definition of MOIs. Finally, we prove by exhibiting specific examples that W k (R) loc⊊ N C k (R)⊊ C k (R), where W k (R) loc is the “localized” k th Wiener space.
