Is it true that $M_n(X)\cong X \mathbin{\hat{\otimes}}M_n(\mathbb{C})$ for the projective operator space tensor product
This question is probably obvious for experts here.
Let $X$ be an operator space. Is it true that
$$X\mathbin{\hat{\otimes}}M_n(\mathbb{C})\cong M_n(X)$$
where $\hat{\otimes}$ is the projective tensor ...

Do completely bounded maps on an operator space have a completely contractive Banach algebra structure?
Let $X$ be an operator space and $CB(X)$ be the set of all completely bounded linear maps $f: X \to X$. Note that $CB(X)$ becomes a Banach algebra for the composition of operators.
Is the ...

Completely contractive Banach algebra structure on the dual of a Hopf $C^*$-algebra
Let $(A, \Delta)$ be a Hopf $C^*$-algebra, i.e. $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra, and $\Delta: A \to M(A\otimes A)$ is an injective non-degenerate $*$-homomorphism that is coassociative:
$$(\iota \otimes \Delta)...
