Self-duality and \(C^*\)-reflexivity of Hilbert \(C^*\)-moduli (Q1824161): Difference between revisions

The subject of this paper are a new definition of the notion ``self-dual Hilbert \(C^*\)-module'' as a categorical concept of Banach \(C^*\)- moduli, and the conditions for some Hilbert \(C^*\)-moduli to be self- dual or \(C^*\)-reflexive. The isomorphism of any two Hilbert structures on a given self-dual Hilbert \(C^*\)-module inducing equivalent norms to the given one is stated. A topological criterion of self-duality and \(C^*\)-reflexivity of Hilbert \(W^*\)-moduli is proved. A criterion of self-duality of the countably generated Hilbert \({\mathfrak A}\)-module \(\ell_ 2({\mathfrak A})\) is stated for arbitrary \(C^*\)-algebras \({\mathfrak A}\). As an application the classification of countably generated Hilbert \(W^*\)-moduli by their structure is given.
