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)...

Let $H$ be a separable Hilbert space, and $B := \mathcal B(H)$ be the space of bounded operators on $H$.
It is known that $B^\ast_\mathrm{strong} = B^\ast_\mathrm{weak}$ (see [Dunford, Schwartz, VI.1....

"Identity tensor transpose" as a map $M_n \hat{\otimes} M_n \to M_n \overline{\otimes} M_n$
Equipping $M_n$ with its usual operator space structure,

we can form the projective tensor product of operator spaces $M_n\ptp M_n$. In particular this puts a ...
