A graded C*-algebra A is inner-graded if there exists a self-adjoint unitary $\varepsilon$ in the multiplier algebra M(A) of A which implements the grading automorphism $\alpha$ on A: $\alpha(a)=\varepsilon a \varepsilon$.

My question are:

  1. If A is inner-graded, is M(A) inner-graded?
  2. How can we prove that $A\widehat{\otimes}B\subseteq M(A)\widehat{\otimes}M(B)\subseteq M(A\widehat{\otimes}B)$, where the tensor is minimal graded tensor product. What about if we replace minimal graded tensor product by maximal graded tensor product?

    $\begingroup$ I tidied the layout a bit. For Q1, surely the same formula, $x \mapsto \epsilon x \epsilon$, gives a grading of $M(A)$?? $\endgroup$ Commented May 11, 2011 at 19:08
  • $\begingroup$ thanks. M(A) is inner-graded which implies the statement in 2. $\endgroup$
