Tensor products of generalized \(B^\ast\)-algebras (Q401121)

The authors consider tensor products of \(GB^*\)-algebras, which are suitable generalizations of \(C^*\)-algebras to the case where unbounded operators are to be used. In particular, they are relevant in quantum mechanical applications. After reviewing some background material, examples of \(GB^*\)-algebras realized as topological tensor products are given. In particular, the authors introduce the notion of tensor product \(GB^*\)-algebras of two \(GB^*\)-algebras \(A_1[\tau_1]\) and \(A_2[\tau_2]\), consider some of their properties, and provide some examples.
