Feb 16, 2022 at 0:26 comment added math112358 Whether there exists some characterization? In Jorgen Vesterstrom's peper " on the homomorphism image of the cebter of a $C^*$-algebra", the author mentions some characterization. But in that theorem, we need to know the concrete center, if we can calculate the center of $A$, how to determine whether $\rho(Z_A)$ is equal to $Z_B$?
Feb 15, 2022 at 23:20 comment added Yemon Choi I don't quite understand the wording of your question. Are you seeking an explicit example of $A$ and $B$ with a surjective star-homomorphism $\rho:A\to B$ for which $\rho(Z_A)\neq Z_B$? Or are you asking for some kind of characterization? I think I can produce a specific (counter)example, but I don't think there will be any sensible characterization of when the inclusion is strict.
