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].

AbstractWe show that the involution $\theta(a\otimes b)=a^*\otimes b^*$ on the Haagerup tensor product $A\otimes_{\mrm{H}}B$ of $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$ is an isometry if and only if $A$ and $B$ are commutative. The involutive Banach algebra $A\otimes_{\mrm{H}}A$ arising from the involution $a\otimes b\to b^*\otimes a^*$ is also studied.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 46L05; 46M05

Let A and E be C*-algebras, let A ⊗ B denote the minimal C*-tensor product, and let ε A *. The right slice map R: A ⊗ B → B is the unique bounded linear mapping with the property that R (a ⊗ b) = (a)b (a ε A, b ε B)(10). A triple (A, B, D), where D is a C*-subalgebra of B, is said to have the slice map property if whenever x ε A ⊗ B and R(x) D for all ε A* then x ε A ⊗ D). It is known that (A, B, D) has the slice map property whenever A is nuclear (11,13), but it appears to be still unknown whether the nuclearity of B will suffice (unless some extra condition is placed on D (l)).

AbstractLet A be a C*-algebra and let ΘA be the canonical contraction form the Haagerup tensor product of M(A) with itself to the space of completely bounded maps on A. In this paper we consider the following conditions on A: (a) A is a finitely generated module over the centre of M(A); (b) the image of ΘA is equal to the set E(A) of all elementary operators on A; and (c) the lengths of elementary operators on A are uniformly bounded. We show that A satisfies (a) if and only if it is a finite direct sum of unital homogeneous C*-algebras. We also show that if a separable A satisfies (b) or (c), then A is necessarily subhomogeneous and the C*-bundles corresponding to the homogeneous subquotients of A must be of finite type.

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.

AbstractIn this paper, we solve a question of Simon Wassermann, whether the Calkin algebra can be written as a C*-tensor product of two infinite dimensional C*-algebras. More generally, we show that there is no surjective *-homomorphism from a SAW*-algebra onto C*-tensor product of two infinite dimensional C*-algebras.

Abstract For a locally compact Hausdorff space X and a C*-algebra A with only finitely many closed ideals, we discuss a characterization of closed ideals of C0(X,A) in terms of closed ideals of A and a class of closed subspaces of X. We further use this result to prove that a closed ideal of C0(X)⊗minA is a finite sum of product ideals. We also establish that for a unital C*-algebra A, C0(X,A) has the centre-quotient property if and only if A has the centre-quotient property. As an application, we characterize the closed Lie ideals of C0(X,A) and identify all the closed Lie ideals of HC0(X)⊗minB(H), H being a separable Hilbert space.
