AbstractLet A be a C*-algebra and let I be a C*-subalgebra of A. Denote by an extension of a state φ of B to a state of A. It is shown that I is an ideal of A if and only if there exists a homomorphism Q from A** onto I** such that Q is the identity map on I** and for every state φ on I. Furthermore it is also shown that I is an essential ideal of A if and only if there exists an injective homomorphism from A into the multiplier algebra of I which is the identity map on I.

We give the characterization and description of all full Hilbert modules and associated algebras having the property that each relatively strictly closed submodule is orthogonally complemented. A strict topology is determined by an essential closed two-sided ideal in the associated algebra and a related ideal submodule. It is shown that these are some modules over hereditary algebras containing the essential ideal isomorphic to the algebra of (not necessarily all) compact operators on a Hilbert space. The characterization and description of that broader class of Hilbert modules and their associated algebras is given. As auxiliary results we give properties of strict and relatively strict submodule closures, the characterization of orthogonal closedness and orthogonal complementing property for single submodules, relation of relative strict topology and projections, properties of outer direct sums with respect to the ideals in \(\ell_\infty\) and isomorphisms of Hilbert modules, and we prove some properties of hereditary algebras and associated hereditary modules with respect to the multiplier algebras, multiplier Hilbert modules, corona algebras and corona modules.

Amalgamated Duplication

Let [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] be Banach algebras such that [Formula: see text] is a Banach [Formula: see text]-bimodule with compatible actions. We define the product [Formula: see text], which is a strongly splitting Banach algebra extension of [Formula: see text] by [Formula: see text]. After characterization of the multiplier algebra, topological center, (maximal) ideals and spectrum of [Formula: see text], we restrict our investigation to the study of semisimplicity, regularity, Arens regularity of [Formula: see text] in relation to that of the algebras [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the action of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]. We also compute the first cohomology group [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] as well as the first-order cyclic cohomology group [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]th dual space of [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] itself when [Formula: see text]. These results are not only of interest in their own right, but also they pave the way for obtaining some new results for Lau products and module extensions of Banach algebras as well as triangular Banach algebra. Finally, special attention is devoted to the cyclic and [Formula: see text]-weak amenability of [Formula: see text]. In this context, several open questions arise.

The Ideal

For every p ≥ 2, we give a characterization of positive definite functions on a free group with finitely many generators, which can be extended to positive linear functionals on the free group C*-algebra associated with the ideal ℓp. This is a generalization of Haagerup's characterization for the case of the reduced free group C*-algebra. As a consequence, the canonical quotient map between the associated C*-algebras is not injective, and they have a unique tracial state.

Compact Perturbations

In Section 33 of [2], Bonsall and Duncan define an elementtof a Banach algebratoact compactlyonif the mapa→tatis a compact operator on. In this paper, the arguments and technique of [1] are used to study this question for C*-algebras (see also [10]). We determine the elementsbof a C*-algebrafor which the mapsa→ba,a→ab,a→ab+ba,a→babare compact (respectively weakly compact), determine the C*-algebras which are compact in the sense of Definition 9, of [2, p. 177] and give a characterization of the C*-automorphisms ofwhich are weakly compact perturbations of the identity.

Metric Characterization

The set $\mathcal{U}(A)$ of tripotents in a $\mathrm{JB}^*$-triple $A$ is characterized in various ways. Some of the characterizations use only the norm-structure of $A$. The partial order on $\mathcal{U}(A)$ as well as $\sigma$-finiteness of tripotents are described intrinsically in terms of the facial structure of the unit ball $A_1$ in $A$, i.e. without reference to the (pre-)dual of $A$. This extends similar results obtained in [6] and simplifies the metric characterization of partial isometries in $C^*$-algebras found in [1](cf. [8].
