Ideals and hereditary subalgebras in operator algebras

Melahat Almus, David P. Blecher, Charles John Read (2012)

Studia Mathematica

This paper may be viewed as having two aims. First, we continue our study of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space which have a contractive approximate identity, this time from a more Banach-algebraic point of view. Namely, we mainly investigate topics concerned with the ideal structure, and hereditary subalgebras (or HSA's, which are in some sense a generalization of ideals). Second, we study properties of operator algebras which are hereditary subalgebras in their bidual, or equivalently which...

Idempotent States and the Inner Linearity Property

Teodor Banica, Uwe Franz, Adam Skalski (2012)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We find an analytic formulation of the notion of Hopf image, in terms of the associated idempotent state. More precisely, if π:A → Mₙ(ℂ) is a finite-dimensional representation of a Hopf C*-algebra, we prove that the idempotent state associated to its Hopf image A' must be the convolution Cesàro limit of the linear functional φ = tr ∘ π. We then discuss some consequences of this result, notably to inner linearity questions.

Index pairings for pullbacks of C*-algebras

Ludwik Dąbrowski, Tom Hadfield, Piotr M. Hajac, Rainer Matthes, Elmar Wagner (2012)

Banach Center Publications

In this overview, we study how to reduce the index pairing for a fibre-product C*-algebra to the index pairing for the C*-algebra over which the fibre product is taken. As an example we analyze the case of suspensions and apply it to noncommutative instanton bundles of arbitrary charges over the suspension of quantum deformations of the 3-sphere.
