Unital $C^{*}$ algebras whose all elements have path connected spectrum
A unital $C^{*}$ algebra is called a "Path connected algebra" if the spectrum of all its elements is a path connected subset of $\mathbb{C}$.
What is an example of a non commutative path connecte …

Is this a functor on the category of $C^{*}$ algebras?
The category of $C^{*}$ algebras is denoted by $\mathcal{A}$.
Is there a functor $\mathcal{F}$ on $\mathcal{A}$ which send each object $A\in \mathcal{A}$ to its center $Z(A)$. In the other words, ca …

Two inequalities in $C^*$ algebras
Under what conditions on a $C^*$ algebra $A$ we have the following inequality:
$$x^*a^*ax+a^*x^*xa\leq x^*x+a^*x^*ax+x^*a^*xa\;\;\; \forall x,a\in A$$
The second identity which I am looking for is t …

Is there a non nuclear $C^*$ algebra $A$ for which the minimum and maximum $C^*$ norms on $A\otimes A$ coincide?
A somewhat similar question is discussed here.

How can one define a kind of "determinant" on a reduced group $C^*$ algebra?
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra which is equipped with a faithful trace $T$. In particular we may consider $A=C^*_{\text{red}} (G)$ for some discrete group $G$. We consider the following differentia …
