Faithful traces on reduced $C^*$-algebra of a measured groupoid
Let $G$ be a measured étale groupoid with quasi-invariant measure $\mu$ (that induces the reduced $C^* $-algebra, meaning it has full support) with associated equivalent measures $\nu,\nu^{-1}$.
Is ...

Which operators on the trace-class operators extend to operators on Hilbert-Schmidt operators?
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a separable Hilbert space and let $TC( \mathcal{H})$, $HS(\mathcal{H})$ be the space of trace-class operators and Hilbert-Schmidt operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Recall that these ...

Retractions for completely positive unital maps, and their effect on spectral diameter
Consider a non-singular, completely positive, unital map $\Psi: \mathbf M_k(\mathbb C) \to \mathbf M_h(\mathbb C)$. This map will have one or more retractions $\Phi: \mathbf M_h(\mathbb C) \to \mathbf ...

Retractions for completely positive unital maps, with particularly nice norms
Consider a non-singular, completely positive, unital map $\Psi: \mathbf M_k(\mathbb C) \to \mathbf M_h(\mathbb C)$. This map will have one or more retractions. Does $\Psi$ admit a retraction $\Phi: \...

Completely bounded norm for unital maps with completely positive sections
Consider a completely bounded unital map $\Phi: \mathbf M_h(\mathbb C) \to \mathbf M_k(\mathbb C)$. Suppose that $\Phi$ has right-inverse $\Psi$ which is completely positive. Is the operator norm of $\...

Can we extend c.p. normal maps on a finite von Neumann algebra $M$ to $L_0(M)_+$?
Suppose that $M$ is a von Neumann algebra with a finite, normal, faithful trace $\tau$. Let $T\colon M\to M$ be a completely positive, normal map.
Can $T$ be extended to a `positively linear map' ...

tr(ab) = tr(ba)?
It is well known that given two Hilbert-Schmidt operators $a$ and $b$ on a Hilbert space $H$, their product is trace class and $tr(ab)=tr(ba)$. A similar result holds for $a$ bounded and $b$ trace ...
