Note on property \(({\mathbb{A}}_ 1)\) (Q1090731)

It is shown that there is a subspace N of \({\mathbb{C}}^{3\times 3}\) such that the bilinear map \(x\otimes y\) from \({\mathbb{C}}^ 3\times {\mathbb{C}}^ 3\) to \({\mathbb{C}}^{3\times 3}\) mod N is a (continuous) surjection but not open at the origin. With \({\mathbb{C}}^{7\times 7}\) instead of \({\mathbb{C}}^{3\times 3}\), N can be chosen such that the annihilator of N, with respect to the trace pairing, is a communicative algebra.
