Non-degenerate representation of a Banach algebra
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a non-reflexive Banach algebra. For the definition of Arens product, please refer to this link. Here we let $\square$ denote the first Arens product and $\diamond$ denote the ...

A $C^*$ algebraic analogy of the concept of complemented subspace in the particular case of $\ell^\infty$
Let $A$ be a $C^*$ algebra. A $C^*$ subalgebra $C\subset A$ is said to be $C^*$ algebraic complemented of $A$ if there exist a $C^*$ subalgebra $D\subset A$ with $A=C\oplus D$ and the obvios mapping $...

On the coincidence (or non-coincidence) of two norms defined on the quotient of a given Hilbert $ C^{\ast} $-module by a certain linear subspace
Let $ A $ be a $ C^{\ast} $-algebra, $ I $ a closed two-sided ideal of $ A $, and $ \mathcal{E} $ a Hilbert $ A $-module. Let

Two tensor product norms inducing different topologies on the space of simple tensors
Are there two Normed spaces $V,W$ for which the algebraic tensor product $V\otimes W$ admits two different norms, both satisfying $\parallel x \otimes y \parallel= \parallel x \parallel. \...

Continuous factors for invertible simple tensors
Our following question is motivated by this very interesting answer
Assume that $A$ is a $C^{*}$ algebra. Put $X=\{a\otimes b \mid a,b \in G(A)\}$ where $G(A)$ is the space of all ...

Which C*-algebras are complemented in their bidual?
Every von Neumann algebra is 1-complemented in its bidual, and so is every injective C*-algebra. Also, if $C_0(X)$ is infinite-dimensional and separable then it is not complemented in its bidual, and $...

Inductive/Projective Limits of Topological Algebras
It is common to form inductive/projective limits of Banach/Frechet spaces in order to come up with natural topologies for common vector spaces. For instance,
For $k \ge 0$ and $K_n$ compact ...

Integration in C^* algebra
Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a C${}^*$ algebra and $\mathbb{R}\ni s \mapsto \alpha_s$ a continuous family of its automorphisms. Is it true that
$$
\int d s \, f(s)\, \alpha_s(A)
$$
is well defined as a ...

$C^*$-algebra generated by those operators that are bounded on every $\ell_p$
Suppose $T: c_{00} \to c_{00}$ is a linear map such that, when regarded as an infinite matrix, there is a uniform bound on the $\ell_1$-norms of its columns, and a uniform bound on the $\ell_1$-norms ...

When $C(X)$ is an injective $C(X)$-module? Current answer is erroneous
It is an old question if every injective Banach space is isomorphic as Banach space to $C(X)$-space.
I would like to know if the weakened module version of this question is answered. More precisely: ...

If $ F(x,\bullet) \in {L^{2}}(G,B) $ for all $ x \in G $, then is $ x \mapsto F(x,\bullet) $ strongly measurable?
This question is related to something that I asked yesterday: If $ F(x,\bullet) \in {L^{\infty}}(G,B) $ for all $ x \in G $, then is $ x \mapsto F(x,\bullet) $ strongly measurable?

When is it $C(X)$?
Suppose that $\tilde{X}$ is a compact space. If $C(\tilde{X})$ is isometrically isomorphic to the second dual of a Banach space, does there exist a locally compact space $X$ such that $C(\tilde{X})=...

$c_0$-direct sum of $\mathcal{K}(\mathcal{H})$
Let $\mathcal{K}(\mathcal{H})$ be the C*-algebra of compact operators on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. I am interested in the ($c_0$-)sum
$A=\sum \mathcal{K}(\mathcal{H})$
of countably many ...

Space of compact operators
I am interested in the Banach space $\mathcal{K}=\mathcal{K}(\ell^2)$ of compact operators on $\ell^2$, however my questions can be stated for any $\mathcal{K}(E)$, where $E$ is an arbitrary Banach ...
