The answer is no. Proof. Let $\mathcal{H}$ and $\mathcal{K}$ be any infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, and let $\{\xi_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ and $\{\eta_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ be sequences of any orthogo …

This question seems elementary, but I have already asked an expert who does not know the answer, so I would like to post here. Let $M$ and $N$ be von Neumann algebras, and let $M\bar{\otimes}N$ be th …

The answer is no. Proof (Thomas Schick). The idea of the proof is due to Thomas Schick. I thank him for allowing me to reproduce it here. Let $\mathcal{A}:=C([0,1])\otimes\mathbb{M}_2$, where $\m …

The answer is no. Proof. Theorem 9 in the reference [3] below implies that there exist a $C^{\star}$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ and open projections $p,q\in\mathcal{A}^{**}$ such that $p$ and $q$ are …

Let $X$ be an operator space such that there is a weak$^*$-continuous complete isometry $\phi$ from its second dual $X^{**}$ into a $W^*$-algebra $M$ in which $\phi(X^{**})$ is a (necessarily weak$^*$ …

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a $C^*$-algebra and $p\in\mathcal{A}^{**}$ be an open projection, that is, $p=p^*=p^2$ and $p\in\overline{(p\mathcal{A}^{**}p\cap\hat{\mathcal{A}})}^{\operatorname{w}^*}$, where $ …

I would like to ask the following two questions. Let $1_{\mathcal{H}}\in \mathcal{A}\subset\mathcal{B}\subset\overline{\mathcal{A}}^{SOT}\subset\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$ be a sequence of $C^{\ast}$-sub …

Related to Jon's question, I have two questions. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a concrete $C^*$-algebra on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. For any selfadjoint subset $S$ of $\mathbb{B}(\mathcal{H})$, let $S^m$ …
