Nov 24, 2020 at 16:58 comment added user167952 @MatthewDaws Yes I deleted it because I solved it. The inclusion map might be degenerate, but it is strict (= norm-continuous and strictly continuous on bounded subsets). Hence, it still gives a map on the multiplier $C^*$-algebras. Thanks for the very useful comments though!
Nov 24, 2020 at 16:12 comment added Matthew Daws And then you seemingly deleted it! I think (a) the inclusion is degenerate; but (b) you can easily prove it exists by using the projection $H_1\oplus H_2 \rightarrow H_1$ and the inclusion going the other way, to pre and post multiply.
Nov 23, 2020 at 21:20 comment added user167952 @Matthew Daws. Thanks! I will see if that is useful in this context. However, is the claim I make about the inclusion of multiplier algebras actually true? I.e.do we have an inclusion $M(K(H_1)\otimes A)\subseteq M(K(H_1\oplus H_2)\otimes A)$?
Nov 23, 2020 at 21:10 comment added Matthew Daws Yes, I see why you might want this. Further, I'm not sure this would help you: what you really want is to know how to form $(x\otimes 1)u$ where $x\in\mathcal K(H_1,H_2)$ and $u\in M(\mathcal K(H_1)\otimes A)$. I think! One way around this is to observe that $x^*x \in \mathcal K(H_1)$ and so the polar decomposition $x = p|x|$ has $p$ a partial isometry $H_1\rightarrow H_2$ and $|x|\in\mathcal K(H_1)$. Then first form $(|x|\otimes 1)u$ in $\mathcal K(H_1)\otimes A$, and then multiply by $p\otimes 1$ to get a member of $\mathcal K(H_1, H_2)\otimes A$.
Nov 23, 2020 at 18:59 comment added user167952 @Matthew Daws. I'm sorry to disturb you but I have a follow-up question. To make sense of the theorem statement, it looks like it is used that we have a canonical inclusion $M(\mathcal{K}(H_1) \otimes A) \subseteq M(\mathcal{K}(H_1 \oplus H_2) \otimes A)$. Do you know how we can obtain this inclusion? It seems to be natural to consider the natural inclusion map $i: \mathcal{K}(H_1) \otimes A \to \mathcal{K}(H_1 \oplus H_2) \otimes A \subseteq M(\mathcal{K}(H_1 \oplus H_2) \otimes A)$ but this does not seem to be non-degenerate, so I'm a bit unsure how to get this inclusion.
Nov 21, 2020 at 18:25 comment added user167952 @Matthew Daws. I have to sincerely thank you for the suggestion to look at the original papers by Woronowicz. Some aspects have become very clear now!

Nov 21, 2020 at 14:19 comment added Ruy Another definition of $\mathcal K(H_1, H_2)\otimes A$, more reminiscent of the usual spatial tensor product, is to take a faithful representation of $A$ on some Hilbert space $H$, and then look at the closed linear span of operators of the form $x\otimes a$ within $\mathcal B(H_1\otimes H, H_2\otimes H)$, for all $x\in \mathcal K(H_1, H_2)$ and $a\in A$.
