Approximation of continuous projections on a manifold by smooth idempotents

Every continuous vector bundle on a closed smooth manifold $M$ has a smooth structure. On the other hand, every vector bundle $E$ is the image of a trivial bundle $M\times\mathbb{C}^n$ under some ...

Closable operators on Hilbert modules

For $T:{\frak{Dom}}(T) \to H$ a densely defined operator, with $H$ a (separable) Hilbert space, we know that $T$ is closable if its adjoint $T^*$ has dense domain in $H$. Does this extend to the (...

Ideal spanned by matrix units isomorphic to compact operators

Hello, Assume we have $(n+1)$ isometries $S_1,...,S_{n+1}$ in the separable Hilbert space $H$ with the properties that $\sum_{i=1}^{n+1}S_iS_i^*=I, S_i^*S_j=0$ (i.e. $S_i$ are the generators of the ...

Hilbert $C^*$-modules and approximate units

Hi, Given a $\sigma$-unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ and a full Hilbert $A$-module $E$, is it possible to find an approximate unit $ \{\epsilon_i\}, i\in I$ in $A$ such that each $\epsilon_i$ is of the ...
