A question about correlations between $ C^{*} $-algebras
It turns out that I have figured it out. Here is a full solution.
Suppose that the hypotheses on $ R $ in the second definition hold. Let

A question about correlations between $ C^{*} $-algebras
I was studying J. M. G. Fell’s paper The Structure of Algebras of Operator Fields when I encountered the concept of a correlation between two $ C^{*} $-algebras.

Proving a certain $ C^{*} $-algebraic inequality
The following argument seems easier, but there might be a still more fundamental one.
Notice that $ \phi: A^{\sim} \to \mathbb{C} $ above is also a $ C^{*} $-algebraic homomorphism. As $ C^{*} $-alge …

Proving a certain $ C^{*} $-algebraic inequality
Let $ A $ be a non-unital $ C^{*} $-algebra. Is there an ‘elementary’ way to prove, for all $ (a,\lambda) \in A \times \mathbb{C} $, the inequality

Does the following $ C^{*} $-algebraic result have a purely algebraic proof?
While studying the proof of Bott periodicity for operator $ K $-theory in this set of notes, I learned this fact:
Theorem. Let $ A $ and $ B $ be $ C^{*} $-algebras. Let $ f,g: A \to B $ be $ * $- …

This question is related to one that I asked some time ago.
Definition 1. Let $ q \in (-1,1) $. Let $ A $ be a unital $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ (x,y) $ a pair of elements of $ A $. Then define the …

Realisation of the noncommutative torus as a universal $ C^{*} $-algebra
According to what I have seen in the literature so far, the standard procedure consists of two main steps:
Prove the existence of a universal $ C^{*} $-algebra $ A_{\theta} $ generated by two unitar …

A Hilbert-space completion of a Hilbert $ C^{*} $-module over a separable $ C^{*} $-algebra
Let $ B $ be a separable $ C^{*} $-algebra and $ \mathcal{E} $ a Hilbert $ B $-module. We know that $ B $ has a faithful state $ \phi $. Using $ \phi $, we can construct a $ \mathbb{C} $-valued pre-in …

This question is related to something that I asked yesterday: If $ F(x,\bullet) \in {L^{\infty}}(G,B) $ for all $ x \in G $, then is $ x \mapsto F(x,\bullet) $ strongly measurable?
