title: Multiplier operator algebras and applications.
abstract: The one-sided multipliers of an operator space X are a key to "latent operator algebraic structure" in X. We begin with a survey of these multipliers, together with several of the applications that they have had to operator algebras. We then describe several new results on one-sided multipliers, and new applications, mostly to one-sided M-ideals.
