The spatial flatness and injectiveness of Connes operator algebras.
The spectral topology of a ring is easily defined, has familiar applications in elementary Banach algebra theory, and appears relevant to abstract Fredholm and stable range theory.
In this paper we address a question posed by M. and T. Hoffmann-Ostenhof, which concerns the total spin of the ground state of an atom or molecule. Each electron is given a value for spin, ±1/2. The total spin is the sum of the individual spins.
Following Jansen and Waldmann, and Kajiwara and Watatani, we introduce notions of coactions of a finite-dimensional C*-Hopf algebra on a Hilbert C*-bimodule of finite type in the sense of Kajiwara and Watatani and define their crossed product. We investigate their basic properties and show that the strong Morita equivalence for coactions preserves the Rokhlin property for coactions of a finite-dimensional C*-Hopf algebra on unital C*-algebras.
An example is given of a semisimple commutative Banach algebra that has the strong spectral extension property but fails the multiplicative Hahn-Banach property. This answers a question posed by M. J. Meyer in [4].
