Duality and normal parts of operator modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For an operator bimodule X over von Neumann algebras and , the space of all completely bounded A,B-bimodule maps from X into , is the bimodule dual of X. Basic duality theory is developed with a particular attention to the Haagerup tensor product over von Neumann algebras. To X a normal operator bimodule orX is associated so that completely bounded A,B-bimodule maps from X into normal operator bimodules factorize uniquely through orX. A construction of orX in terms of biduals of X, A and B is presented. Various operator bimodule structures are considered on a Banach bimodule admitting a normal such structure.


This paper is devoted to extending the classical duality theory of Banach and operator spaces to normal operator bimodules over von Neumann algebras. Let \(X\) be an operator bimodule over von Neumann algebras \(A\subseteq B(H)\) and \(B\subseteq B(K)\). By the bimodule dual of \(X\) we mean the space of all completely bounded \(A,B\)-bimodule maps from \(X\) into \(B(K,H)\). The author first extends a known duality result of \textit{D. P. Blecher} and \textit{R. R. Smith} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 45, No.~1, 126--144 (1992; Zbl 0712.46029)] for the Haagerup tensor product of normal operator bimodules and then relates the bimodule dual of the extended module Haagerup tensor product to the normal version of the Haagerup tensor product studied by \textit{E. G. Effros} and \textit{Z.--J. Ruan} [J. Oper. Theory 50, No.~1, 131--156 (2003; Zbl 1036.46042)]. It is also shown that the closure \(X_n\) of the image of \(X\) in its bimodule bidual is a normal operator \(A,B\)-bimodule, the so-called normal part of \(X\), which has the following universal property: for each completely bounded \(A,B\)-bimodule map \(\varphi\) from \(X\) to a normal operator \(A,B\)-bimodule \(Y\), there exists a unique \(A,B\)-bimodule map \(\widetilde{\varphi}\) from \(X_n\) into \(Y\) such that \(\varphi=\widetilde{\varphi}\iota\) where \(\iota\) denotes the canonical map from \(X\) into \(X_n\). The paper also describes \(X_n\) in terms of biduals of \(X, A\) and \(B\).
