Add correct hypthosis in point 1
Oct 3, 2023 at 14:49 comment added Matthew Daws Sorry, yes, I need a non-degeneracy condition. I'll edit the answer.
Oct 2, 2023 at 17:24 comment added Andromeda Nevertheless, I still believe that $M(A\otimes A)\subseteq A^{**}\bar{\otimes}A^{**}$ is true, upon representating $A^{**}$ on a Hilbert space. Indeed, an element $z\in M(A\otimes A)$ is a strict limit of a bounded net in $A\odot A$, and on bounded subsets of $A\otimes A$, the strict topology agrees with the strong$^*$-topology, so the limit lives in $A^{**}\bar{\otimes}A^{**}$ as well.
Oct 2, 2023 at 17:20 comment added Andromeda Thanks for the answer! I'm also a bit concerned about Step 1. If $M= B(H)$, I think we need to require that $A$ is a non-degenerate $*$-subalgebra of $M$ (see e.g. Lance's book), so an extra condition seems to be involved to make this work.
Oct 2, 2023 at 16:57 comment added Yemon Choi Is there a reference for Step 1? I have a vague memory it might be in e.g. the book of Blecher and Le Merdy, but presumably there should be a more standard reference.
