Are ideals in separable C*-algebras complemented subspaces?

Let $A$ be a separable C*-algebra and $J\subseteq A$ a closed two-sided ideal. Does this make $J$ into a complemented subspace of $A$? In other words, does the quotient map $A\to A/J$ have a ...

What is known about when $vN(G)$ is a factor, for a locally compact group $G$?

When $G$ is a discrete group, it is an elementary result in the theory of von Neumann algebras that the group von Neumann algebra $vN(G)$ is a factor if and only if $G$ is an ICC group. What is known ...

Using Property (T) to approximate invertible matrices

In the wikipedia article for Kazhdan's Property (T), there's an intriguing application: Similarly, groups with property (T) can be used to construct finite sets of invertible matrices which can ...

Inverse limit in the category of $C^{\ast}$-algebras or operator spaces

Does the inverse limits (projective limits) exist in the category of $C^{\ast}$-algebras or operator spaces? I tried to search but could not find a proper reference. Any reference or comments about ...

Conditions for completely positive maps to act homomorphically across multiple subalgebras

For a completely positive (CP) map $u: A \to A'$ of $C^*$-algebras $A, A'$, the concept of multiplicative domains characterizes the largest subalgebra of $A$ on which $u$ behaves as a $*$-homomorphism....

Automorphism-invariant positive linear functionals on $C*$-algebras

Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra. Does there exist a non-trivial positive linear functional $\nu\in A^*$ which is $\mathrm{Aut}(A)$-invariant? That is, $\nu\circ\alpha=\nu$ for all $\alpha\in\mathrm{Aut}(A)$...

Approximately inner conditional expectations of $II_{1}$ factors

In many contexts it is helpful to think of conditional expectations as averages of unitary conjugates, a standpoint vindicated by many standard techniques in the theory of finite von Neumann algebras. ...

Two Definitions of Non-commutative $L^p$ space

Throughout, let $(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ be a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$, acting on a Hilbert space $H$, with normal semifinite faithful trace $\tau$. In the survey article by Pisier and Xu, the ...

Invariant on C*-algebras-number of closed unbounded derivation it admitted

In working of the unbounded derivation of C*-algebras. I observed the following: For topological manifold $M$, the number of closed, linear independent, unbounded derivation it admitted on $C(M)$ is ...

Series of linear maps: on a paper by Evans and Hanche-Olsen

I was reading this paper by Evans and Hanche-Olsen. In theorem 2, there are six equivalent statements given. I write just two of them, which I want to use. Let $L$ be a bounded self-adjoint ...
