Abstract: We generalize Loewner's method for proving that matrix monotone functions are operator monotone. The relation x leq y on bounded operators is our model for a definition for C*-relations of being residually finite dimensional. Our main result is a meta-theorem about theorems involving relations on bounded operators. If we can show there are residually finite dimensional relations involved, and verify a technical condition, then such a theorem will follow from its restriction to matrices. Applications are shown regarding norms of exponentials, the norms of commutators and "positive" noncommutative *-polynomials.

Review text

Defining \(C^*\)-relations and the concepts of being closed and residually finite dimensional, the author presents a meta-theorem: Given a theorem about matrices that states that a residually finite dimensional \(C^*\)-relation implies a closed \(C^*\)-relation, one may conclude that the same implication holds for all bounded operators. Some applications to norms of exponentials and commutators as well as positive noncommutative \(C^*\)-polynomials are given.
