On completely bounded bimodule maps over W*-algebras

Bojan Magajna (2003)

Studia Mathematica

It is proved that for a von Neumann algebra A ⊆ B(ℋ ) the subspace of normal maps is dense in the space of all completely bounded A-bimodule homomorphisms of B(ℋ ) in the point norm topology if and only if the same holds for the corresponding unit balls, which is the case if and only if A is atomic with no central summands of type I , . Then a duality result for normal operator modules is presented and applied to the following problem. Given an operator space X and a von Neumann algebra A, is the map...

On derivations and crossed homomorphisms

Viktor Losert (2010)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss some results about derivations and crossed homomorphisms arising in the context of locally compact groups and their group algebras, in particular, L¹(G), the von Neumann algebra VN(G) and actions of G on related algebras. We answer a question of Dales, Ghahramani, Grønbæk, showing that L¹(G) is always permanently weakly amenable. Then we show that for some classes of groups (e.g. IN-groups) the homology of L¹(G) with coefficients in VN(G) is trivial. But this is no longer true, in general,...

On extremal positive maps acting between type I factors

Marcin Marciniak (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The paper is devoted to the problem of classification of extremal positive linear maps acting between 𝔅(𝒦) and 𝔅(ℋ) where 𝒦 and ℋ are Hilbert spaces. It is shown that every positive map with the property that rank ϕ(P) ≤ 1 for any one-dimensional projection P is a rank 1 preserver. This allows us to characterize all decomposable extremal maps as those which satisfy the above condition. Further, we prove that every extremal positive map which is 2-positive turns out to be automatically completely...

On generalized inverses in C*-algebras

Robin Harte, Mostafa Mbekhta (1992)

Studia Mathematica

We investigate when a C*-algebra element generates a closed ideal, and discuss Moore-Penrose and commuting generalized inverses.
