In this paper, we introduce new tensor products ⊗ p ( 1 ≤ p ≤ + ∞ ) on C ℓ p * ( Γ ) ⊗ C ℓ p * ( Γ ) and ⊗ c 0 on C c 0 * ( Γ ) ⊗ C c 0 * ( Γ ) for any discrete group Γ . We obtain that for 1 ≤ p < + ∞ C ℓ p * ( Γ ) ⊗ m a x C ℓ p * ( Γ ) = C ℓ p * ( Γ ) ⊗ p C ℓ p * ( Γ ) if and only if Γ is amenable; C c 0 * ( Γ ) ⊗ m a x C c 0 * ( Γ ) = C c 0 * ( Γ ) ⊗ c 0 C c 0 * ( Γ ) if and only if Γ has Haagerup property. In particular, for the free group with two generators F 2 we show that C ℓ p * ( F 2 ) ⊗ p C ℓ p * ( F 2 ) ≇ C ℓ q * ( F 2 ) ⊗ q C ℓ q * ( F 2 ) for 2 ≤ q < p ≤ + ∞ .

AbstractA unique factorisation theorem is obtained for tensor products of finite lattices of commuting projections in a factor. This leads to unique tensor product factorisations for reflexive subalgebras of the hyperfinite II1 factor which have irreducible finite commutative invariant projection lattices. It is shown that the finite refinement property fails for simple approximately finite C*-algebras, and this implies that there is no analogous general result for finite lattice subalgebras in this context.

Twisted Tensor Product

We put two C*-algebras together in a noncommutative tensor product using quantum group coactions on them and a bicharacter relating the two quantum groups that act. We describe this twisted tensor product in two equivalent ways, based on certain pairs of quantum group representations and based on covariant Hilbert space representations, respectively. We establish basic properties of the twisted tensor product and study some examples.

AbstractFor any pair M, N of von Neumann algebras such that the algebraic tensor product M ⊗ N admits more than one C*-norm, the cardinal of the set of C*-norms is at least 2ℵ0. Moreover, there is a family with cardinality 2ℵ0 of injective tensor product functors for C*-algebras in Kirchberg's sense. Let ${\mathbb B}$=∏nMn. We also show that, for any non-nuclear von Neumann algebra M⊂ ${\mathbb B}$(ℓ2), the set of C*-norms on ${\mathbb B}$ ⊗ M has cardinality equal to 22ℵ0.

Natural Way

When and ℬ are C*-algebras their algebraic tensor product ⊗ ℬ is a *-algebra in a natural way. Until recently, work on tensor products of C*-algebras has concentrated on norms α which make the completion ⊗α ℬ into a C*-algebra. The crucial role played by the Haagerup norm in the theory of operator spaces and completely bounded maps has produced some interest in more general norms (see [8; 12]). In this paper we investigate geometrical properties of algebra norms on ⊗ ℬ. By an ‘algebra norm’ we mean a norm which is sub-multiplicative: α(u.v) ≤ ≤ α(u).α(v).

Standing Question

AbstractIt is shown that if C1 and C2 are maximal abelian self-adjoint subalgebras (masas) of C*-algebras A1 and A2, respectively, then the completion C1 ⊗ C2 of the algebraic tensor product C1 ⊙ C2 of C1 and C2 in any C*-tensor product A1 ⊗βA2 is maximal abelian provided that C1 has the extension property of Kadison and Singer and C2 contains an approximate identity for A2. Examples are given to show that this result can fail if the conditions on the two masas do not both hold. This gives an answer to a long-standing question, but leaves open some other interesting problems, one of which turns out to have a potentially intriguing implication for the Kadison-Singer extension problem.

Abstract Given Banach spaces X and Y, we ask about the dual space of the 𝒧(X, Y). This paper surveys results on tensor products of Banach spaces with the main objective of describing the dual of spaces of bounded operators. In several cases and under a variety of assumptions on X and Y, the answer can best be given as the projective tensor product of X ** and Y *.

Abstract Galego and Samuel showed that if K, L are metrizable, compact, Hausdorff spaces, then $C(K)\widehat{\otimes}_\pi C(L)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if K and L are both scattered. We remove the hypothesis of metrizability from their result and extend it from the case of the twofold projective tensor product to the general n-fold projective tensor product to show that for any $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and compact, Hausdorff spaces K1, …, K n , $\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi, i=1}^n C(K_i)$ is c0-saturated if and only if it is subprojective if and only if each K i is scattered.

A C*-algebra A is said to be approximately finite dimensional (AF) if it is the inductive limit of a sequence of finite dimensional C*-algebras(see [2], [5]). It is said to be nuclear if, for each C*-algebra B, there is a unique C*-norm on the *-algebraic tensor product A ⊗B [11]. Since finite dimensional C*-algebras are nuclear, and inductive limits of nuclear C*-algebras are nuclear [16];,every AF C*-algebra is nuclear. The family of nuclear C*-algebras is a large and well-behaved class (see [12]). The AF C*-algebras for a particularly tractable sub-class which has been completely classified in terms of the invariant K0 [7], [5].
