An example of a non-complemented Hilbert \(W^*\)-module (Q5960260)

In the paper [\textit{M. Frank} and \textit{E. V. Troitskij}, Funct. Anal. Appl. 30, 257-266 (1996); translation from Funkts. Anal. Prilozh. 30, No. 4, 45-57 (1996; Zbl 0922.58081)] it was shown that if the module \(M\) over the \(W^*\)-algebra \(A\) is finitely generated and projective, then the biorthogonal submodule \(N^{\perp\perp}\) is always complemented. In this paper, the author presents an example of a non-complemented Hilbert submodule which coincides with its biorthogonal module for a commutative \(W^*\)-algebra. The following assertion is presented as a corollary. Let \(T: M\to M\) be a bounded \(A\)-linear operator. Then its kernel is not necessarily complemented.
