Solution without using any k-theory tools

Let $A$ be the UHF-algebra of type $2^{\infty}$. Suppose that $p$ and $q$ are two projections in $A$ and $\tau(p) = \tau(q)$, where $\tau$ is the unique normalized trace. Then there is a partail ...

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 (...

Comparing the definitions of $K$-theory and $K$-homology for $C^*$-algebras

In Higson and Roe's Analytic K-homology, for a unital $C*$-algebra $A$, the definitions of K-theory and K-homology have quite a similar flavor. Roughly, the group $K_0(A)$ is given by the ...

Geometric Motivation for Hilbert $C^*$-Bimodules

I'm trying to get an understanding of Hilbert $C^*$-bi-modules from a geometric point of view. As is well-known, we have that i) Commutative unital $C^*$-algebras correspond to compact Hausdorff ...

Does a dense submodule of a free module always contain a basis?

Let $R$ be a completed normed ring, eg Banach algebra. Suppose that $F$ is a free $R$-module of infinite rank with a norm defined by the square root of sum of all norms of its components. If $F'$ is a ...
