Homology theory for operator algebras: Traditional and quantized aspects (Q2765271)

Let \({\mathcal B}(H)\) be the algebra of all bounded linear operators on the Hilbert space \(H\) and \({\mathcal K}(H)\) be the ideal of all compact operators. Let \(A\) be an operator algebra, that is a closed subalgebra of \({\mathcal B}(H).\) The purpose of the present paper is to clarify some traditional and quantized aspects of the homology theory for operator algebras. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEMain Theorem. Let \(A\) be a \(C^*\)-algebra acting on a Hilbert space \(H.\) Then the following two of its possible properties are equivalent: NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(i) \(A\) is spatially projective; NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(ii) there are decompositions \(H=\oplus \{H_{\nu}: \nu \in \Lambda \}\oplus H_0\) and \(H_{\nu} =H_{\nu}^1\otimes H_{\nu}^2\) with \(H_0\) vanishing in the case of non-unital \(A\) such that \(\min\{\dim H_{\nu}^1 , \dim H_{\nu}^2\} < \infty \) and up to the respective identification we have NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \oplus \{{\mathcal K}(H_{\nu}^1)\otimes 1: \nu \in \Lambda\}\subset A \subset \oplus \{{\mathcal B}(H_{\nu}^1)\otimes 1: \nu \in \Lambda\}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0969.00059].
