On function and operator modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let A be a unital Banach algebra. We give a characterization of the left Banach A-modules X for which there exists a commutative unital C∗-algebra C(K), a linear isometry icolonXoC(K), and a contractive unital homomorphism hetacolonAoC(K) such that i(acdotpx)=heta(a)i(x) for any ainA,xinX. We then deduce a "commutative" version of the Christensen-Effros-Sinclair characterization of operator bimodules. In the last section of the paper, we prove a w∗-version of the latter characterization, which generalizes some previous work of Effros and Ruan.
