Socle of an operator algebra
Let $H, K$ be Hilbert spaces.
Let $A\subseteq B(H)$ be a nonselfadjoint closed subalgebra such that the identity map is in $A$.
Let $C_A$ denote the $C^*$-algebra generated by $A$.
Q1: (this question ...

Can the intersection of a unitary and an irreducibly represented injective $C^*$-algebra be $\{0\}$?
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an injective $C^*$-algebra irreducibly acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, and let $\phi$ be a completely positive idempotent from $\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$ onto $\mathcal{A}$...

Is the ideal property of $X^{**}$ inheritable to $X$?
Let $X$ be an operator space such that there is a weak$^*$-continuous complete isometry $\phi$ from its second dual $X^{**}$ into a $W^*$-algebra $M$ in which $\phi(X^{**})$ is a (necessarily weak$^*$-...

Extensions of completely positive mappings
I would like to ask the following two questions.
Let $1_{\mathcal{H}}\in \mathcal{A}\subset\mathcal{B}\subset\overline{\mathcal{A}}^{SOT}\subset\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be a sequence of $C^{\ast}$-...

When are certain group C*-algebras exact?
This is somewhere between a "reference request" and "ask an expert", but I hope it is not too trivial or off-topic.
Anyway. There has been a lot of attention given to showing that for certain ...
